LuLu the BONK Babe...who is she really?


LuLu the BONK Babe...who is she really in the Bonk Game Show?

Well, truth be told, there are multiple. We have just selected and trained an additional LuLu the fabulous comedy relief co-host and BONK BABE to coincide with the addition of another host. Please welcome Tammy Walkup who is based in Columbus, Ohio. Tammy has been a professional entertainer and vocalist for over 20 years. Her debut performance was for a great corporate event for one of the top scientific and chemical development companies in the world (Yup...we threw her right into the fire) and she knocked 'em dead.

I am sure you will see her appearing in more photos and videos soon to be posted. Therefore, we now have Merry based in Los Angeles, Penny in Las Vegas and Tammy now serving the East Coast region. All to continue to serve you the event planner, entertainment agent or company planner more efficiently and will less travel time and costs.

The BONK Show in Hilton Head featured in LOWDOWN magazine

(Not the most flattering picture of the Bonk Master Kerry Pollock - but a nice article for Hilton Head - Here is the full link and article is following: http://www.npaper-wehaa.com/bluffton-today;see-B0y4vfDXa7t98e1A#c-121541

GET ‘BONKED’ ON THE ISLAND - article by Tim Wood.

LOWDOWN

No, the Low county hasn’t opened its first brothel. “Bonk” is the name of a comedy game show that is staged at comedy clubs around the country.

It stops this week at the Hilton Head Comedy Club. Take some time out from the rat race of the last-minute Christmas gift herd and you might just get the chance to take out some of your aggressions by hitting others with a mallet for laughs.

A lot of Vegas and cruise ship shows try the game show format for laughs, getting audience members to hold buzzers and answer silly questions for prizes. What makes “Bonk” different is that audience members actually get to hit their fellow contestants with mallets.

The producers of the show liken the experience to “Jeopardy” meets “The Three Stooges.” Contestants are given “bonkers” and hard hats. If they think they know an answer, they hit themselves over the head with the bonker, triggering a ring-in buzzer.

Then the game moves on to something called back bonking, where contestants must hit each other over the head to pass on a question and make the other answer.

The winner of the back bonk round then plays the Big Bonk Challenge, where they can win cash and prizes, including restaurant gift certificates and bar tabs from the club. All throughout, players answer questions as silly as “Can a pig get sunburned?” to more traditional trivia. Plus, they’re asked to complete challenges that can be a bit more embarrassing — and therefore hilarious for the crowd.

The game is played three times, with nine contestants picked from the audience to play. Plus, the less daring ticket holders can win prizes in between-round trivia contests.

The game was created by comedian and magician Kerry Pollack, a road-tested performer who developed it to play at trade shows. But he quickly realized that “Bonk” was a perfect event for comedy clubs, too. “Bonk” plays at the Hilton Head Comedy Club at 8 p.m. today and Saturday.

BONK hits Bermuda....aaahh

There are far worse locations to be hosting the bonk show as a corporate game show the in the country of Bermuda. Being my first time there, we were excited to see the island and all it had to offer.

Not only did we have a blast working for the client, we've been asked back next year. YEAH!! It is likely we will play a few venues based on the response from last year. From the downtown comedy club, The Fairmont hotel and a private event.

Here's a pic of us working hard....

On top of that I made a few dives on old shipwrecks, tasted some wild foods (absolutely fabulous...yet pricey restaurants). Looking forward to it again the 3rd week in Sept 2009.

The "Buckeye BONK" show is huge success


The corporate comedy game show - "The BONK Show" - took on a new look for this special event. The standard yellow helmets were traded in for "Buckeye BONK" helmets complete with buckeye leaves, OSU logos and our host sponsor of NetJets.

It was the Ohio State Penn State game which was a tremendous match-up with the winner likely being the big ten champ and a shot at the Rose Bowl. The place was packed inside the NetJets sponsored tent right next to the Sports Illustrated tent, complete with Jumbotron outside broadcasting the show to everyone tailgating ahead of time.

The Bonk Show event host and corporate entertainer Jon Petz had the crowd screaming as he not only awarded the onstage contestants prizes but also had a dozen tickets for the game to give away, along with concert tickets, gift cards and the grand prize winner of The BONK Show took home two round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the US. Not bad for bonking yourself in the head a few times.

We were joined by the wild Danny Beirne on the keys who was jamming out Hang On Sloopy each time tickets were won, not to mention all the other live music for the show and tunes for the thousands of buckeye fans listening and watching in for the chance at winning some of the game tickets. All planned by the premier event planning team at Destinations By Design and technical production team from John Page and Page Tecg LTD.
