Book Synopsis Charles' 50 year career connects vaudeville with today's world. Performing on television, stage, special events -- for the families of Hollywood super powers, for thousands of hospitalized children, kids in war zones, mansions, ghettos, and the world at large, as well as on his Youtube channel, this book is filled with the author's adventures, insights and an appreciation of his audiences. Almost 12,000 shows ... so far. Essays by Charles have appeared in more than 100 newspapers and magazines. He's written two books, a guide to performing in children's hospitals, stars in numerous audio collects of his children's stories, and in many videos -- including his award winning A&M Records performance video shot on the Charlie Chaplin Sound Stage in Hollywood.
