The Act
I live in Staten Island, New York and perform a live act for baby showers. I have been doing it for 13 years. Through the internet and through “word of mouth” I would get calls from all over the United States, however, I do not travel. Also, since my fee is rather high for the live act that I do, a lot of families that have their baby showers at home found it expensive and sometimes the baby showers were just a few people.
I decided to make a DVD of the live routine so it would be affordable to everyone and can be played anywhere on any TV. The Act consists of Dr. Oppenwider with all the different products and facts that the mom to be needs to know. It is very informative, funny and the guests can participate in what the products are and what they are used for. It is a copy of the live routine that I perform. At the end of the routine I read a very funny poem for the mom to be and congratulate her. I end telling her on the DVD “If she decides to change OBGYN’s to call me, Dr. Oppenwider, because not only am I an OBGYN, I am also a licensed beautician so I can deliver her baby and do her hair nails and pedicure!”
DVD NO LONGER AVAILABLE

The Poem - Purchase for $0.99
The Poem is what I recite at the end of my live routine. I have made it into an email sort of like an e-card. It can be sent to anyone who is having a baby. It is a live video of Dr. Oppenwider with sound effects. It begins “A few weeks of morning sickness (you hear sound effects) and after that it’s a breeze,” and continues into a very funny poem all about being pregnant and having the baby.
