Dane Kuttler

Credentials & Reccomendations

Robinson Bolkum Writes: 7/3/09

"Dane Kuttler was featured at "Zippy's." I am thoroughly taken with her stage presence, her voice an' demeanor, her grooming & appearance, delivery, composition, content & invitation to audience participation, her timing, her stance & gestures, her merchandise. She did not go too long or too briefly. She brought easy laughter, & a touch of teariness as well. DANE KUTTLER She's well worth remembering, seeing & hearing."
