Children love his slapstick and "larger than life" facial expressions. Teens to college kids can relate through situations and sarcasm and adults appreciate his "off the wall" humour and that he manages to keep it clean. Jay performed a medley of tricks and had the crowd laughing at Apple Blossom Tyme 2008 and we all wanted more.
