A magical show under Bob's umbrella world. Let the butterfly land on your hand, play umbrella golf and laugh at Bob's whimsical antics as he balances precariously on the tight rope. Join Bob, singing and dancing in the rain, it really does rain! Foot tapping music & delightful audience interaction.
