Alphabet not behaving? Call the Letterman, the world's best alphabetarian! Award-winning clown Bryce Flint-Somerville (Blue Man Group, Barroz) will have you in hysterics as he battles, cajoles and pleads his way to getting his letters in line. Combining clown, puppetry and audience participation, The Letterman is a blast for children and adults of all ages!
