Every so often I sit down and read through the reviews on my GigSalad profile — usually when I need reminding of why I love this work — and every time, I end up grinning like a kid. These are folks who took time out of their lives to write about what it's like to have me at their event, and I never get tired of it.

If you don't know GigSalad, it's one of the places event planners go to hire live entertainment — jugglers, sword swallowers, fire performers, you name it.


I keep my profile there (Mr. Bill Berry — Sword Swallower, St. Petersburg, FL) because it connects me with exactly the people I love performing for: folks throwing a party, planning a festival, booking a corporate event, or just trying to make one night unforgettable for the people they care about.


Here's what a few of them have said:


  • "Bill is your guy!" — "Bill Berry is a consummate professional and show stopping talent… Punctual, professional, flexible, and friendly… Highly Recommend!" — Lilabelle Q.

  • "Versatile and chaotically wonderful entertainer!" — "One of the performances I got to watch him juggling a chainsaw that was also on fire!… can easily fit into family friendly entertainment as well as more adult entertainment. I highly recommend him as a performer!" — Adam R.

  • "Top notch strolling entertainer" — "…he has so much passion… just lightens up any event… I strongly recommend him for any event that you have." — Lars E. R.

Five-star reviews for Mr. Bill Berry, sword swallower.

I've performed more than 7,000 shows in 85 countries, and I swear the thrill has never been the applause. It's the connection. It's the moment a stranger becomes a volunteer, a volunteer becomes the hero of the bit, and suddenly a whole room full of people are laughing together like old friends.

So if you're planning something — a wedding, a company party, a festival, a fundraiser, a backyard bash in St. Petersburg or anywhere within a couple hundred miles — and you want entertainment that your guests will still be talking about at breakfast, come find me on GigSalad. You can read every review for yourself, check my availability, and get a free quote right here:

And if we've crossed paths at a show and you feel moved to leave a review of your own, know that it genuinely matters — to me, and to the next person out there trying to figure out who to trust with their big night.

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, hired, volunteered, or just stood in the front row with their mouth open at the exact right moment. You are why the show goes on.

— Bill

Planning something bigger — a full stage show, a fire performance, or a workshop for your group? You can also book entertainment directly or explore workshops right here on the site. Oh, and some of my favorite bookings are weddings — there's nothing quite like the look on everyone's faces when the sword comes out at a reception. I even cut the cake with it. Don't believe me? Here's the footage: watch the wedding cake sword cut.


Ready for the next level? I work with students one-on-one — come join us.
