Max Donaldson is a professional speaker who has
entertained a wide variety audiences across the US -
- part comic, part showman, historian, and entertainer
who provides an unusual insight into Americana.
This
unique assemblage of historical trivia, of the famous
and infamous, began in 2001 when he discovered an engraving
error on the tombstone
of jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker's grave in Kansas
City. The inaccuracy of "Bird's" legacy inspired
his very first rubbing (a graphic reproduction of the
actual tombstone).
This
private collection of grave rubbings, combined with
a plethora of historical trivia, along with historical
background, has grown to include frontier legends, film
stars, musicians, authors and many other notable historical
figures...
His
extensive collection of celebrity grave rubbings are
included in his show titled "Stories Under The
Stones" - a delightfully and insightful account
of history that includes subtle trivia along with the
"truths and lies" (after the fact) of a multitude
of memorable American celebrities.

2009 - "Max Donaldson is truly a
master storyteller! He weaves his performance
with humor, fact and drama! He may even
sprinkle it all with a little “inside
dirt”. His mid-West style is blended with
a metropolitan flair! Max will keep you
entertained along a journey that will
have you laughing until you cry! You will
be surprised and delighted as his tales
and celebrity research 
unfold
before your eyes. The inspiration for
his “Stories Under the Stone” will have
you reminiscing about people and characters
we all know and love! Max can definitely
enlighten you to the rest of the story!
The Eureka (Kansas) High School Alumni
Association booked Max to entertain as
our main program 
for
our banquet! His performance had everyone
on the edge of their seats and laughing
during the entire show! Max is a must
see for any event and occasion!"
Max
Donaldson recently appeared before our
group and more than exceeded our expectations.
He is both an excellent speaker, humorist,
and entertaining showman. He displays
an uncanny passion for his unique hobby
of grave rubbing and literally captivates
his audience with interesting obscure
facts of his celebrity subjects. My fellow
Lions and I thoroughly enjoyed Max's outstanding
presentation. His books are equally entertaining.
I would highly recommend Max Donaldson
to any group seeking something new and
different. You will decidely not be
disappointed. -
