Each section below has ideas for a specific theme,
but check them all - entertainment is not black &
white!. All of our acts are designed to provide maximum
interaction, and feature experienced, highly-skilled
entertainers.

The acts are surprisingly versatile, and are suitable
for a wide range of age groups.

| The
Acts: |
|
|
|
| Medieval
/ Swashbuckling |
|
For your medieval theme, why not hire a Alvin - our smoke-breathing
dragon puppet accompanied by a knight - & a jester of
two. As well as meet & greet, we can included a short
cabaret show to spice up the event. For a Pirates of the Caribbean
feel, use "Buckle & Swash" to meet & greet,
then maybe include a short sword fight as part of a cabaret
show.
From partners: Medieval stocks & balloon decor to create
the right atmosphere.

|
| Oscar's
/ Hollywood |
|
For your complete Oscar's nite, we can provide the
host for the awards ceremony, either from our cast of
characters or a skilled entertainer in a smart suit.
Also well suited for Hollywood/Oscars meet & greet
are Chaplin, the Blues brothers, Austin Powers and Dr.
Evil & Mini Me.
From partners: Amazing quality 8ft tall Oscars, James
Bond-theme backdrops, and tasteful balloon decor.
|
|
| Wild
West |
|
Our meet/greet & walkabout act 'Saddle Sore' is
perfect for a wild west theme, & can include a short
cabaret show featuring whip-cracking & rope spinning.
From partners: Amazing Western backdrops & props
to really create the atmosphere, with balloon decor
for a fun finishing touch.
|
|
| James
Bond / Austin Powers |
|
For Austin Powers we have Austin, Dr. Evil & Mini
Me - these are available on stilts as well. For James
Bond we have Ernst Blofeld. These characters are excellent,
easily recognisable and popular meet & greets.
Although off-theme, a cabaret show can be added, just
for fun!
From partners: Amazing quality James Bond-theme backdrops,
and tasteful balloon decor.

| French
/ Moulin Rouge |
|
Why not have a French-speaking Meet/Greet, featuring Henri
de Toulouse-Lautrec & Marcel Marceau (yes, I know the
second one doesn't say much!)? You can also add a cabaret
show performed entirely in French - which works even if the
audience don't understand the language - by an entertainer
who spent six years in France (& actually worked right
beside the Moulin rouge).
From partners: Balloon decor in a decadent Parisien style.
|
|
| Christmas |
We can provide Santa himself for Town/City centre switch-on
ceremonies (not shopping centre Santa's), and you can
hire a Santa suit as part of a Christmas Party booking.
All of our shows are popular for Family events, especially
the Magic Clown Show & Punch & Judy.
For walkabouts try our ever-popular "As long as
you've got your 'Elf" ventriloquist walkabout,
featuring a full size elf & an Elf puppet. Our Christmas-themed
stilt-walkers are either a snowman or an oversized elf.
From partners: Santa's Grotto, the kiddies roundabout
& a 'Rodeo Reindeer'. Balloon decoration to help
a room look more festive. |
|
| Easter
|
|
Delightful Easter "Teddy Bears' Picnic" show -
including fun for all the kids & their bears, music, games,
beautiful balloons & can include other entertainers (stilt-walkers,
balloon modellers, magic shows...) for a fun-packed event.
|
|
| Oldies
/ 30s / 40s / 60s |
|
George Formby is the perfect meet & greet for a variety
of events - from pre-war thru to the early 50s. Also for a
WWII theme, as well as George in a 1940s uniform, we also
have a comedy inept German officer (actually uses a post-war
DDR uniform to avoid offensive symbols, but works just as
well) for meet & greet. For the 60s, Our Austin Powers
& James Bond characters area available at regular or stilt
height, and you can also have Dr Evil & Mini Me.
We can also include a short cabaret show, with a George Formby
sing-along and/or some comedy stage magic.
From partners: Amazing quality James Bond-theme backdrops,
and tasteful balloon decor.

| Blues
Brothers |
|
Good fun theme, use our Blues Brothers meet & greet act
as they come in, & why not include a short cabaret act
to add to the fun.
From partners: Blues Brothers backdrops, small props &
appropriate balloon decor.
|
|
| Hallowe'en |
|
Carefully crafted variations on some of our most successful
acts are available for Hallowe'en. One of the most popular
(& scariest!) is our 'dead cowboy ostrich rider'. Our
live statues are a terrific addition to your Hallowe'en festival,
appealing to a very broad age range.
Another popular walkabout is 'Buckle (deceased) & Swash',
inspired by Pirate of the Caribbean, featuring a 'dead'
pirate and living Commodore Swash.
We also have themed stilt-walkers - Frankenstein's Monster
(& Doctor Frankenstein himself as well), 'dead' versions
of the Pirate & Cowboy, as well as our other costume characters
who fit in well with the fancy dress theme.
All of our shows work well at Hallowe'en, particularly the
Magic Clown Show.
From partners: Balloon decoration featuring Hallowe'en balloons
to reinforce your theme. A kiddies roundabout ideal for use
outdoors, even in poor weather.

If you don't see your theme drop us an email, we
may well be able to develop a new act to fit your theme. Many
of the acts on this site were created for specific client
needs. If we feel that there will be enough future work to
recoup development costs, you won't even have to pay extra
for an act tailored for you!
