Choosing your act & adding extras.

Captain Franko Reliable Entertainment offer a variety of acts suitable for specific themes, and thru carefully selected partners can offer a full theme package including Entertainers, Games, Balloon Decoration & scenic props.

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.

For some acts, you can see Photos here & Videos here.

Medieval, Swashbuckling, & Pirate
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.

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 - 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: High-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.

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.
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.

Christmas
We can provide Santa himself for Town/City centre switch-on ceremonies (not shopping centre Santa's), and you can also hire Santa (or just the 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 our Christmas-themed stilt-walkers are either a snowman, an angel or an oversized elf.

From partners: Santa's Grotto, the kiddies roundabout (ideal for use outdoors, even in poor weather) & 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.
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 Elvis, 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 your theme isn't listed...
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 your luck is in; and 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!
