I don't mind him doing it...but why don't they have kids the same age handing out the bills...even that sound a bit off to me...but it would be better than adults.

...they’re in a bar...he’s allowed to perform in the bar with his parents present and obviously there are regulations/guidelines which are being followed as he seems to be a very accomplished performer...he’s performed with some Ru Paul’s queens at very swish functions......(..adult functions, so his performances there would be to adults as well..)...

...I don’t know what the working laws are for children in the USA or is it Canada, I’m not sure...but in the U.K., we have child actors/child performers/child models etc...who so long as all legislation is adhered to ...and a parent or guardian is present at all times etc...
