Here are testimonials from previous clients of the Bijou Tennis Show. You are welcome to contact any of these references. Each had different reasons and events to use the show, with some venues using the show on several consecutive occasions. We look forward to providing you with the same wonderful event they experienced.
"I first saw Bijou's show at the 2008 PTR Symposium where he had 100 teaching pros rolling on the ground for the entire show. Most of the people there have been around tennis for a long time and have seen a trick or two, but Bijou had the place roaring with deep belly laughter.
As a new director, I decided to bring in Bijou to help energize our program and get people excited about the upcoming season. We held a 'Funtastic Day' in June featuring Bijou and I ended up being the straight man for the show. Henri helped me the night before with the act and we did a little run through the day of the event. In all, we spent about an hour with preparation, but he is so good, he was able to lead me through the show to make sure it kept moving even if I missed a line.
We billed it for 'kids at heart', so we encouraged all ages and especially families to attend. It was a huge success with all attending walking away with a smile on their face and ready for the summer tennis season. An added benefit for me as I participated in the act was that people now viewed me as more than just a teaching pro or administrator, now I was also a performer. Hopefully, that will help me down the road with performance reviews!
I highly recommend bringing Bijou to your club with his message that at the heart of it, tennis is and should be above all fun. We look forward to having him back as the kids still ask about him. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the show.." Jack Waite, Burning Tree Country Club, Director of Racquets Greenwich, CT
"I have had the privilege of hosting Henri’s entertaining tennis show twice at my club. The last show was back in April and my members are still talking about it! Back in April Henri gave me the opportunity to be his tennis instructor for the show. I immediately said yes and thought about the wonderful opportunity that it would be for me especially in front of my members. Henri took me out on the court prior to the show and we briefly discussed what was going to happen in a 20 – 30 minute show. The meeting was brief because Henri basically told me that he would adapt to my teaching style and that I should teach him just like I would teach a beginner lesson. Although still nervous about it I must admit that the nerves went away as soon as he stepped on the court. Henri’s quick wit, personality, athleticism, and shot making capabilities are what makes the show so entertaining. The greatest thing that I took away from this experience was the simple fact that you can still play tennis and have fun! If you or your club members have never had the opportunity to work with and or experience one of Henri’s shows I would highly recommend it. He is truly a gentleman on and off the court and a friend for life." Kevin Brice, Director of Tennis New Bern Golf & Country Club, New Bern, NC
"On two separate occasions we had Henri perform here at Westwood in exclusive shows for our members and their children. The first time was as part of the club’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, and that went so well that we had him return within a year to do a show headlining our annual Junior Exhibition Night. I must say that as an adult I found Henri’s show quite entertaining, and I could really appreciate the obvious tennis skills he exhibited throughout the performance – it was like almost like watching a performance on trick skis! After Henri’s 50th anniversary performance (to primarily adults), I realized that the kids in our junior program would love it too. Henri did not disappoint on his return visit – the kids absolutely loved it. Along with straight man Fernando Velasco, The two of them take on an Abbott & Costello type chemistry that works for all ages. I would highly recommend them for any and all tennis enthusiasts. Sincerely, "
