Mount Baker Community Clubhouse presents the Pied Piper Series featuring Charlie the Noise Guy in Seattle - Saturday, February 28th 2015 at 10:30am - "Less than a Latte" each with a $3 suggested donation

Charlie the Noise Guy

" Kid comedy and sound shenanigans. It's noisy fun for everyone!

If it sounds like a duck and walks like a duck; it must be a duck, right? Well, maybe not! Charlie Williams is “The Noiseguy”, a vocal sound impressionist who can imitate the sound of planes, trains and automobiles! This talented performer is also a kids’ comedian, author and illustrator. In one of his typical shows you might hear flushing toilets, dinosaurs, monster trucks and beatboxin’.

When he tells you his fractured fairy tale of Jack chopping down the beanstalk, he doesn’t use an ax – that’s not noisy enough! If you close your eyes, you’ll be convinced The Noiseguy is using a real chainsaw to bring down the beanstalk. This is a show like none other – you won’t believe your ears! Parents – be prepared for a lot of giggling!

Williams encourages kids to laugh at everyday annoyances because humor is an important life skill. Parents will get in touch with their inner (noisy) child. Everyone will learn some vocal impressions of their very own! Williams believes “the family that makes noise together is a family that enjoys together”. "
