Kathy A. says, "Helene is a professional entertainer. She is funny and can act and sing. WOW, can she sing. I used to own a bar in Delaware where Helene and her band performed from time to time. The customers loved her and the place was packed on the nights they performed. Helene can Officiant, Host, or Emcee. She sings in both small venues and large. She has performed in Casinos and in large theaters throughout the United States. Helene has been hired for private parties large and small and always gets over-the-top glowing raves about how special her performance is. Helene's Almost Cher Show sell out and she has a following because she's that good. Helene has a collection of costumes that would rival many movie stars. Her customized comedy is top shelf. I highly recommend you hire Helene. You won't regret it." Read more
