Shutter On The Street

Ray’s days typically involve 12 hours of ballooning for Baltimore’s tourists and visitors. During peak tourist season, Ray will go through 1,500 2″x60″ balloons in a typical day. He works the gig full time starting in the spring and running through New Years Eve. Now a days, Ray doesn’t have to do many private shows, focusing instead on his street act. He does reserve two dates for the Policeman’s bull and oyster roast and the World Trade Center’s New Years Eve party.

His interaction with the crowd is top notch and he has a few quick quips that he uses to bring that extra smile to the face of a patron. He’s great with kids and adults but prefers working the bar crowd where he gets to perform some of his blue material.
