Bowser & Blue were sensational as always! The audience loved the show and enjoyed them enormously both as satirists and musicians. They managed to put a smile on everyone's face … The evening was a great success!

Bowser and Blue were totally entertaining. Their jokes and musical repertoire are up to date and refreshing. We would highly recommend them to any organization who wants to cheer up their audience.

I thought Bowser & Blue were brilliant. They engaged the audience and tailored their song list appropriately... I would recommend them to anyone.

What an amazing performance ... they are better every time we see them. Thank you for making our 65th Anniversary such a memorable occasion.

Rick and George are the funniest! As they once said at the top of one of their Centaur shows, they can't actually change anything, but they can take the pain away for a while. And laughter is definitely the best medicine. Thanks, guys, for some wonderful laughs!

The entire time we worked with them, from opening note to the closing bars, was everything we'd hoped for. I have no hesitation in recommending them for songwriting and live performances, to anyone who will lend an ear.

It’s nice to know there are some things we can always count on in life. Traffic detours. Airport delays. Bureaucratic red tape. And when we need a laugh: Bowser and Blue.

Sensational as always... They put on a great show. I am always impressed at how they update their act to incorporate recent events.
