Sherman the Magic Bunny – Kids love his tricks
“No Sherman, don’t let go, the balloon will hurt”
Meet Sherman the Magic Bunny. He is one of Zoomalata’s sidekicks and he has his own brand of tricks. Sherman has been delighting audiences since 2013 when he joined Zoomalata’s comedy show. While Sherman is a puppet, don’t tell him that. He thinks he is a real bunny. Sherman enjoys playing tricks on Zoomalata, acting silly, laughing and golf. His favorite movie is Hop which he enjoys watching on his big screen TV which he keeps in his hat. At the bottom of Sherman’s hat is his dressing room.
One of Sherman’s favorite tricks involves a dinosaur, but not in the way you might think! Sherman begins to wrestle the dinosaur only for Zoomalata to find out the dinosaur is really a squirt gun. After a warning to not squirt Zoomalata, Sherman does just that…he squirts Zoomalata. The kids in the audience erupt in giggles as Zoomalata gets soaked.
Despite his mischievous antics, Sherman is a real crowd-pleaser at heart. He loves to make people laugh and the sound of their applause is music to his floppy ears. During the show you will often see Sherman clapping his little paws, this is a signal for the audience to clap for him. And when they clap, Sherman’s heart grows in size. It makes him smile real big too.
Do you have time to hear one more of Sherman’s routines? Yes, Good! It is called “Balloon Blowup” Sherman comes out of his hat with a twelve inch round balloon in his paws and says that he is going to show everyone how to blow up this balloon. This makes everyone curious. How in the world is a Bunny puppet going to blow up a balloon. The answer is simple for Sherman. He goes back into his hat. What does he bring out? A stick of dynamite!
Everyone gets a little frantic…ok…just Zoomalata gets frantic. The kids are laughing and pointing at Sherman and Zoomalata. Finally, Zoomalata stops running around and notices that it isn’t real dynamite only sticks of wood painted red. Sherman starts clapping and you know what happens next…the audience breaks out in applause.
After a show Sherman has worked up an appetite so he finishes up with an iced tea and a slice of pepperoni pizza with jalapenos on it.
