WHAT BILL DOES
We loved Bill and John!!! They were so sweet and awesome to work with. The students really loved the show and the guys staying around afterwards to help people learn to juggle. Thanks again for having such easy-going performers.
All I can say is WOW! I'm sure that's exactly what you were expecting. They were so amazing, and it was a privilege for us to have them. They were absolutely incredible and so personable. Everyone really enjoyed how down-to-earth Bill is. I, for one, can't wait to see them again.
Team Rootberry went over wonderfully and I think the students want to invite them back next year.
I thought the team was absolutely fantastic. They were very professional and gave two great performances. Everyone and every child continues to compliment us on having them appear at this event. Team Rootberry is welcome any time in GTMO!!
I LOVED THEM!! They are great guys, I loved their show! They are so easy to work with and go with the flow when things don’t go as planned, which happens a lot!
They were AWESOME and the students loved them! Nobody wanted to leave to go to class! We had over 400 students pass through—which is a record for us at this type of event. As always—a class act!
These guys are great. Not only was our college group blown away by their performance, but Jon and Bill were all about accommodating our event in any way possible. For me, as the person in charge of the event, that was huge. Get these guys—you’ll be so glad you did.
Although I haven't heard from our Entertainment chairs, everyone I heard talk about Team Rootberry was very positive. I overheard a little boy exclaiming about the chainsaws—which probably were much easier to deal with given the strong winds that plagued the stage on Saturday!
I loved it, the faculty and staff loved it, and most importantly, our audience loved it! Our house manager said we had 650–700 there last night. It was a huge success, and I loved working with Jon and Bill very much. We will have them back again.
I love the guys, they were so nice and fun to be around. Even though they did have me worried out of my mind (lol), they were wonderful. They came early, stayed late, and told great stories! I would recommend them to anyone.
Let me tell you what a superb performance they gave onboard IWO. The crew was thoroughly impressed not only with the show but also with the fact that both Bill and John went all over the ship, talking to the crew and embarked Marines. They were absolutely awesome!
Everything went great. We loved the guys and they did just what I visualized. I thought it was a success. Thanks for everything.
Everything was great! They went above and beyond…
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!! The show was great…
The students remarked that it was our best performance yet! Everyone was captivated–and with humor to boot!
Very impressed, real strong show, very funny, very talented.

About Bill

Swallowing Yogi
Hi, I'm Bill Berry.
A variety entertainer delivering high-impact, high-energy solo shows, or as half of the Distinguished Daredevils duo. From juggling championships to Guinness World Record sword swallowing and fire handling, I've built a career on real danger, real comedy, and real audience connection, performing for colleges, festivals, corporates, military bases, cruises, and more over two decades (including co-founding the acclaimed variety show Rootberry).
Those years traveling the world gave me the raw material for my books: Stories That Move and Embracing the Flame (with more titles coming). They're not theory — they're the unfiltered experiences of chasing passion, facing fear, inventing acts, and turning adrenaline into applause. Readers get the honest stories and philosophy that helped me thrive, so they can apply the same resilience to their own paths. Today, that same journey fuels my coaching: I work with performers, creatives, and art-trepreneurs to help them build sustainable financial success — refining their craft, creating marketable material, landing higher-paying gigs, and turning talent into a thriving career. Through one-on-one sessions and my Patreon community, I share the practical tools and strategies that actually work in the real world of entertainment and artistry.
Extraordinary lives aren't built from perfect circumstances — they're built by those willing to start, then keep building with the right guidance and tools.
