its not just the voice, its the whole performance. Lots of guys can sing. But with Puddles you get a SHOW. I'm a BIG fan of Big Mike and Puddles. I can't wait to see more.
I love how people laugh at first, but are then in awe by the sheer power of Mikes voice. I would love to see him live. You better believe roses would end up on the stage.
He is just fantastic. I've listened to a number of his performances, and I have to say, I haven't been disappointed, not even once. He is just that good. What a pleasure.
The clown suit is brilliance. It is such a loaded image. "A clown is a poet in action. He is the story which he enacts. The clown teaches us to laugh at ourselves. Joy is like a river : it flows ceaselessly. It seems to me that this is the message which the clown is trying to convey to us, that we should participate through the ceaseless flow and movement, that we should not stop to reflect, compare, analyse, possess, but flow on and through, endlessly, like music. This is the gift of surrender, and the clown makes it symbolically."~Henry Miller I love you Puddles and your voice is brilliant and timeless.
MasonJarGrenade He is the embodiment of the sad clown Pierrot in commedia dell'arte. The lovable loser who can't get the girl. Puddles took this stock character and give him a new dimension, a pure barytone voice, impeccable timing and precision. Puddles makes you see life through Pierrot's eyes. Pure Fucking genius.:'(
I have NEVER enjoyed watching videos .. every one I can find.. more than searching out puddles. his music is amazing by all means.. but to WATCH HIM and HEAR HIM .. it brings a NEW LIGHT to every song I hear!!! He brought me back to LOVING IT ALL. The performance.. the imagination .. the pure love of it all... I NEED TO THANK YOU PUDDLES!! I am ALIVE AGAIN!! IM HEALED!! YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH .. BY YOUR... EVERYTHING.. YOU HELPED ME UNDERSTAND.. SILLY AS IT MAY SEEM.. FOR A MAN WHO DOESNT SPEAK YOUR FACIAL.. EXPRESSION ALTHOUGH Slight.. SAYS SO FUCKING MUCH!! THANK YOU PUDDLES.. MIKE.. WHO EVER YOU ARE!! YOU HAVE ROCKED MY FUCKING WORLD!!!!
I love how his delivery always brings new meaning to the lyrics of a song. This is such a familiar tune, I admit I first kinda tuned out on the story of it, and just enjoyed the vocal. But when he dropped that F-bomb, I had to go back and re-listen, to get the thread of the thing, why she pulled that reaction from him. Superb performer, not just a vocalist!
Am so GLAD i found your site PUDDLES PITY PARTY.DISCOVERED BY PURE CHANCE AND I HAVE LOVED EACH AND EVERY SONGS AND YOUR MESSAGES THROUGH YOUR CLOWN ACT. THANK YOU. I ADORE SUCH OLDER TIMELESS EVER GREEN SONGS.SHAME I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA AND CAN ONLY ENJOY YOUR SINGING ON YOU TUBE. BEST WISHES AND GREETINGS. MARIA AKA MARIKA TRAYTER.
Well every time I watch this I giggle when he drops the F-bomb! He is telling a story and wouldn't you feel that way if the girl of your dreams went with someone else? I think you have to listen to the intent before you become offended.
8of1 Puddles is really telling the story of his life to music and it is very serious and I know it’s affecting him. If I can speak to puddles I would tell him that you have made a transformation and affecting a lot of people in a Greatway and keep doing what you’re doing to be proud
He not only sings the song but he does what songs are supposed to do and that is to tell a story. He is a consummate story teller. I have never seen such a performer in all my 62 years and for 55 of those years I have been a musician. BRAVO
That guy is such a riveting performer. Must have heard that song hundreds of times but just really listened to every word with my whole heart for the first time. That is Puddles' superpower.
Just to clarify, this is PUDDLES PITY PARTY aka MICHAEL "BIG MIKE" GEIER. There is also a British clown named Puddles (aka Norman Pudney). But PUDDLES PITY PARK (Mr. Geier) is the one you see above. Yes!
I watch this video daily at times. One of my FAVORITE Puddles videos. The funny thing about me loving this video is that I have always HAAAAATED the F word with a passion. Not only was it a 'bad' word but the people who use it think they are soooo cool which was really irritating. But then Puddles says it and I don't hate it. And I am amazed. Why don't I hate this? AND I think it's funny! It's the sad emotions he feels when saying the word. I love it.
I only recently came to know of him through his audition on America's got talent, the show sucks but there is often a person that sets themself apart and Puddles does that and more. I get how some people don't get him too. This is performance art at it's finest.
One of my favorite songs, though so few can sing it well, and fewer can compare with Ray Charles’ version. This is most definitely one of those few. This man’s voice is amazing and the way he performs on stage adds so much. I strongly suspect he’s one of those amazingly talented individuals who is even better when seen in person. Hopefully I will some day get to do just that.
I've been listening to "Postmodern jukbox" for a while now. The greatest singers the group has is...Robin Adele Anderson, and Haley Reinhart. The clowns name is Mike Geier. Check out ...Von Smith, Cristina Gatti, Morgan James, Annie, Goodchild, The genres are Jazz, Ragtime, Swing. (But, not like you think)
His eyes are bewitching. His voice catches you but then you watch the performance and you are hypnotized by his face and the expressions he makes. Is it wrong to have a crush on a 6'8 clown?
its not just the voice, its the whole performance. Lots of guys can sing. But with Puddles you get a SHOW. I'm a BIG fan of Big Mike and Puddles. I can't wait to see more.
SO MUCH RESPECT FOR HIM! HE'S THE BEST! 😉👌👍💖💖
J Driscoll Ah men to that Brother.
No wonder Vegas snapped him up!
I love how people laugh at first, but are then in awe by the sheer power of Mikes voice. I would love to see him live. You better believe roses would end up on the stage.
davidkzoo I just saw him in Orlando. I wish I bought roses. There’s always next time 🌹
davidkzoo Who’s Roses? You?
I used to live in Kalamazoo. In Tennessee now. From Saint Joseph MI
Mike Burge LoL!
Throws a great show!
A WEIRD! & WONDERFUL one!!!
He breaths new life into old songs, even in somes cases improves them. He has yet to disappoint.
He is just fantastic. I've listened to a number of his performances, and I have to say, I haven't been disappointed, not even once. He is just that good. What a pleasure.

C Walker.. Beautiful Heartfelt comment. Puddles never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Hauntingly melodic.
The more I hear this guy sing, the more I like him. Great rendition of one of my favorite songs. thebard4 is right, The guy is brilliant!!

This was funny, unusual and then WHAM! Puddles sings, and damn, does he sing... I was absolutely floored. What a find!
Spot the fuck on .
This is my absolute FAVORITE Puddles performance!
So sorry I found this act so late, would have liked to gave seen all of it. Very good. Wonder what he's doing in 2022.
CAN'T LOVE THIS CLOWN ENOUGH!
I agree totally with you you just can't love enough
This guy is brilliant!
I get goosebumps every time I watch him sing. Amazing.
I LOVE YOU PUDDLES!!!!
God I just gotta see this guy live!
+Murl Harmon Me 2!
He's playing through November on the West Coast. Thinking about flying in somewhere to watch him.
going to see him in lincoln calif, near sacramento.
Murl Harmon I really wish he would come to New Mexico so I could see him
saw him last year. good stuff!
I just love this song. It's always been my favorite song of John Geier's. I wish there was a non live version although I ADORE the live version too.
5:25 " I watched you walk away with that F___ing Guy ! "
LOL Puddles is awesome !
pat smith thanks for the heads up, that’s great!
Pure magic
What an original and gifted talent... I cant wait to see any of Big Mike's shows in the NYC area. He is going to be big... really big.
his voice is golden. love it!!!
I wish I could thumbs up more! When he brings it home, hilarious!
Puddle's. Thankyou for making me feel happy again.
He's basically Michigan J. Frog in oversized clown form. Love it.

Simply wonderful. what a voice ! Thanks Will.

This is the best thing I've seen on the internet in awhile.
what a voice darlin.. i been singing for years .. love all kinds of music but yoiu knock my sox off
Oh puddles what an outstanding performance! I really would love to see him live. He is awesome!!
dam this guy has an amazing voice. i'm a fan.
Just to clarify, this is PUDDLES PITY PARTY aka MICHAEL "BIG MIKE" GEIER. There is also a British clown named Puddles (aka Norman Pudney). But PUDDLES PITY PARK (Mr. Geier) is the one you see above. Yes!
just to clarify, Norman Pudney is South African.
This is the one I like. The SA one is dorky.
puddles piy party is the one and only as far as im concerned, that norman guy is just a name freeloader!
My 1st time hearing Puddles and I love him. His voice is amazing and his delivery is insanely genius. He makes me feel much more normal. LOL.
You need to hear his version of Royals, by Lorde that he sings accompanied by The Postmodern Jukebox.
An amazing performer with a golden voice👍🏼
I had to rewind that on a couple times to see if I heard that correctly! I 😂
Such a talented man! He can sing any & everything, AMAZING! OMG ! I have 2 see him in concert!
I watch this video daily at times. One of my FAVORITE Puddles videos. The funny thing about me loving this video is that I have always HAAAAATED the F word with a passion.

Kathy Stricker it's impossible to hate Puddles

Excellent job my friend.💚
My gosh that man can sell a song..I just thrill to his rendition of this classic tune..Hes a marvel.
I can't get enough of Puddles, Zuma, & the crew. Magnificent.
Puddles,you were BORN to be a torch singer!Magnificent!
Amazing voice! I love this.
This guy is great.
Another great performance. I really like the tubes where the audience respects Mikes performance.
I like how every one stops and takes him seriously.Mile takes respect.
Please come to the uk,we would welcome you with open arms,so refreshing to watch real talent you are a genius.
Puddles is an outstanding singer.
I've avoided all clowns I see in malls or birthday parties but now I really want to see Puddles
Simply amazing
Absolutely magnificent! ❤️
A Cindy Walker classic. Puddles is worthy. Puddles is mighty.
I love that zydeco,I grew up in Louisiana..
And I just found Puddles and now a fan..lol..Thanks for sharing.🌹
I just heard of this last night freaking to awesome for words
It’s a long way to the top, Thank GOD you made it!
I lost it when he dropped the F bomb
props, Big Mike. Puddles Pity Party is something else. xo
The awkward silence that makes us laugh because we all have those times. Puddles keeps going. It's okay to be awkward.
Freaking Genius!!! LOVE IT !!!
Oh puddles great job!!! 😢😳
This is before the fame.
It must have been a WTF moment for the audience.
One of my favorite songs, though so few can sing it well, and fewer can compare with Ray Charles’ version. This is most definitely one of those few. This man’s voice is amazing and the way he performs on stage adds so much. I strongly suspect he’s one of those amazingly talented individuals who is even better when seen in person. Hopefully I will some day get to do just that.
When an artist can add a part of themselves and still maintain the purity of the original. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
you are a true artist!
One of my all time favorites! Well done, Puddles. Very well done.
Your face always tells a story all by it's self. Love it
I would love to get his CD and possibly have him come to Provincetown somtime.,
Puddles rules!
She really doesn't know Puddles... you don't ever want a 7ft tall clown angry at you. As for that ****ing guy? You'd better watch your ass!
Puddles needs to bring this back to his pity party.
OK fourth video....
Dude you're no joke, great performance... Shawn I.
Awesome!
The piano player is so very good.
WHAT A VOICE!!! WHAT TALENT!!! I am now a fan!!!
I'm so in love with this giant clown.
Love the bit with the lamp, looking for an honest man?
Love Big Mike aka Puddles Pity Party.
I love this clown so much.
Go on America's Got Talent! You're brilliant and awesome, Howard Stern and Howie would love you!
He did this year, but Howard wasn't there :'(
Howie sure did love him!
New spin on great material. Such a powerful voice.
QUESTION: Is it weird that I kinda want puddles to sing at my wedding?
You're getting married
It took him two minutes to get ready.
Totally not weird. I would put him in a Church.
yeah maybe next year
Amber Merchant Not at all weird!
Absolutely Magnificent Performance and Voice as well!!!
Got the whole package I am now a fan.
Great performer and singer.
The internet is coming after you Puddles. It's just a matter of time.
What a great spirit lifter
watch the faces of all the musicians, from the very beginning as puddles approaches the stage, through to the very end
I've been listening to "Postmodern jukbox" for a while now. The greatest singers the group has is...Robin Adele Anderson, and Haley Reinhart. The clowns name is Mike Geier. Check out ...Von Smith, Cristina Gatti, Morgan James, Annie, Goodchild, The genres are Jazz, Ragtime, Swing. (But, not like you think)
Always amazing!
all i can say is this guy is good
Puddles is freaking brilliant !!!!!!
BRAVO! to the sad clown with the golden voice!
I love the awkward pauses as much as I love the music!
silence cuts like a knife
Great stuff Mr. F/Mr. P.....👍👾
His eyes are bewitching. His voice catches you but then you watch the performance and you are hypnotized by his face and the expressions he makes. Is it wrong to have a crush on a 6'8 clown?
Patti Good no, sister :)
