Clint is by far one of the most creepy old men I have ever met. I used to work for him and when he and I discussed my job he said it would pay $600 a gig so being a young teenager at the time, I was 16. I said yea of course I'll do it. he told me i would be dressing up in costumes and hanging out with kids at parties. Well I found out that wasn't entirely true, I would not only dress up, but have to do face painting and balloon animals, in which he supplied me with not even satisfactory supplies that even a child could use, I was embarrassed showing up with what he would give me. I also had to collect money for him. He would say he would pay me when I got back. So I did the job as requested. First time I got 60 dollars, then after that each time it went less and less. I started realizing I'm being cheated. He kept telling me id get more money once the contracts were paid in full. That never happened. I saw that the $600 he promised was only to get me to work for him. The costumes were torn and dirty. Most of the time he would send me places that were so ridiculously far away that it took hours to get there. Id spend more in has than I got paid for the job half the time. He told me I would be there for an hour and I'd show up and the host would tell me I'm there for 3 hours. Now the host got to pick one characuter and we pick the other two, and by we I mean Clint. The host would see after the costume part of it that I had face painting and balloon stuff and how it seemed to come from the dollar store and I had no stencil or anything provided and they wouldn't even want it done at the party. I mean I could have bought paint at the craft store and supplied my own stuff but he would never reimburst me for that. He always said I could refuse any job I wanted, well one day he called me, middle of winter to do a job, in the middle of a snow storm wanted me to drive an hour away, in which I couldn't get my car even off my hill Because it was so icy. so I told him I couldn't do it, I wasn't going to risk my life driving there for some party. He then called me repeatedly that day to still go to the party saying if I don't he would lose the client and the contract, trying to blame me, but in which he would never go to these parties anyway, maybe when he first started the business but not now. He tried making me feel bad for him committing to something he shouldn't have in the middle of a storm! He says these contracts are done months in advance, if that's the case why did i find out about the job the night before or day of?? Was I his only employee or something? Well later on, he called me a few weeks later about a job at this club. A guy wanted a female escort. Well last time I check it wasn't an escort service I worked for. clint proceeded to tell me I had to dress up in a bunny costume from playboy. I then asked him if I would have a body guard in case something should happen and he told me no. first off I was 16, second off who the hell does he think he is trying to get a kid to be an escort for some guy!! Get someone of age! Besides that, where's my protection if something should go wrong? I wouldn't have any so I would be subject to being raped, no thanks. I told Clint no way, then he proceeded to tell me he showed this guy a picture of me and how he wanted me to be his date that night. And I was completely creeped out because I wondered how Clint even got a picture of me in the first place and he told me he took it on his phone one day while I was putting costumes in my car that I had to pick up at his house. That right there was creepy and out of line from someone who is suppose to be your boss, but not only your boss but a family friend. I was dating his neighbors sons, girlfriends son. So I knew Clint, well thought I did from going over there. If he's so professional why is all his advertising done on computer paper attached to telephone poles?? Spend money in real advertising! He's too cheap to do that. I mean I know how much people pay for those entertainment packages he offers, it's not like he can't afford it if he has all these happy clients all the time. I had to ask one of the hosts how much they paid him and I was shocked. He would tell me it wasn't very much at all and that's why I was getting such a low pay was because it was bad timing, bad economy, he couldn't get what he used to for a gig. that was a total lie. He's a cheap liar who has a thing for pimping out underage girls! look at his ad on his site, he says he has strips for entertainment, meaning strippers. I wasn't aware of that when I worked for him so what was he trying to pull by having me be some guys "arm candy" as he called it? I might have been young but I wasn't stupid. Growing up and it being several years since I came in contact with him, because after that stunt I never answered another call from him, he would call and call to the point of harassment, I have seen how hated he is in the community, we only live a few blocks away. I mean several people rip down his signs because of the things he pulls and how he is with people. At one time he may have been a lagitament business but guess what, he isn't now. And anyone who would use him or be employeed by him would be stupid. He writes his own reviews! Who does that!? Anyway, stay away from ENDLESS VARIETY ENTERTAINMENT and CLINT WANDEL!!!! Very bad news!!

We are a wedding & party planning Company. We supply & provide everything for events
We have successfully worked with C.W.E. for may years, over 100 events & also hired them for many personal parties
The guest & clients have always had great things to say about Clint & company. we completely agree we have always enjoyed working with them. They always have presented wonderful , high quality services
A couple of times a year my co. & others will have a client that will try every dishonest ploy to get out of paying for services. This Pete Hoch fits right into that short list of deceptive people
After reading his very excessive, very long complaint it proves how he kept adding & adding more falsehoods to convince the public with his deception. He fraudgelantly states no photos,
photos of Gilligan & Skipper are on C.W.E. web-site
The most important article of proof is purposley missing the signed contract. He never included it because it would prove his fraud & false comments
He states canceling 2 short weeks before the event. Proves he morally & legally had no regard to cheating Mr. Wandel's entertainers
When dishonest people like Pete Hoch, go to such Obvious, Dishonest , Excessive Lengths to commit fraud. It intrigues people to want to hire that company even more. They feel that Co. must be great, for someone to go to all the effort due to their jealous or deceptive agenda
Pete Hoch is the type of person who makes it hard on the general public. Pete Hoch is why every Co. has to do contracts, advanced deposit, due to his dishonest actions
According to his comment C. W. E. remained honorable. Yet he DID NOT remain honorable
