Booking FAQ
Before you ask
How far in advance should we book?
Banana Ball season runs late winter through fall, so dates go fast. Reach out 60–90 days out when you can — shorter notice is sometimes possible.
Does Vinny travel?
Yes — he has worked games in 48 states. Travel is quoted with each booking from his home base near Texarkana, TX.
Is the content family-friendly?
Always for schools, youth leagues and family events. Comedy nights can be tailored to your crowd.
Can he come in uniform and dance?
That’s the whole point! Tell us your music and he’ll bring the moves.
Do you work with nonprofits and fundraisers?
Yes. Meet & greets and comedy nights have raised money for families, schools and causes.
How do brand partnerships work?
Custom packages can include short-form videos, appearances, giveaways and code-based promos. Use the partnership form and we’ll send the media kit.
