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.
