TOM ROLFE: DEFYING GRAVITY
'A fun-filled, jam-packed magical experience for all ages, all occasions and all
kinds of events.'
Tom provides an action packed two-hour Birthday Party Package; everything is taken
care of from the moment the first guest arrives: all you provide is food, cake & party bags! (oh yes and some guests). He really is a bundle of energy.
The guests arrive to favourite party music during which Tom gives them their own personalised name sticker, it’s easy to make friends that way.
Once all are in: it's Showtime! Tom presents a bright and colourful show combining circus skill: juggling, unicycling, magic,diabolo balloonology and puppetry from the hilarious (but very naughty) Spinach The Dog. Many of the children can volunteer as magic stars of the show but of course the birthday person is always the top-of-the-bill-headliner!
Then, about an hour in to the party, it’s time for food Tom continues the entertainment throughout the party food with creative balloonology around the party-table to keep all the children amused: he’ll make anything from a dog , a sword, a googly-eyed octopus to a giant love-heart or even a motorbike - he can cover it all! Tom even provides the music for Happy Birthday as The Birthday Cake comes in.
Once the cake has been cut, the candles have been blown out and the Birthday Wish has been made it's time for the games - Musical Corners, Pass the Parcel & many more including hula-hoop competitions and perhaps a magical treasure hunt that will ensure more laughs per smile. This also gives you time to share the cake into party bags
The last section of the party is all hands on deck as the children (All Grown-ups are welcome to have a go) get chance to try their hand at juggling, plate spinning, diabolo, balancing and much more!
For a PIRATE themed party, with the Galleon at a small extra charge, then the entertainment, games & the balloonology are themed to the pirates’ way of life
Why are pirates are called pirates?
I don’t know, why ARE pirates called pirates?
Because they AAAAaaaaaargh!!!
Tom’s already had ten years in Panto, so he knows plenty more jokes!
KRAZY KEV
Krazy Kev is one of the top balloon entertainers in the UK.
If you are looking for someone who can make your next occasion extra special and fun then look no further! Don?t accept simple dogs, swords and swans anymore!
Birthday Parties - Shopping Centres - Weddings - Christenings - Store promotions - Restaurants - Book launches -Trade Stands - Galas
Specialising in HUGE balloon models that are big enough to sit in: pirate ships, helicopters, Ferraris...
Krazy Kev’s magic show is great for children’s parties; during the show the children will have a chance to become part of the magic and get a ‘bigger’ balloon sculpture. Not to be outdone, the birthday child will get an even bigger one based their favourite cartoon character or whatever they are into! Each child then receives a balloon model to take home (numbers permitting). He will also supply the music.
Balloon Twisting Tuition
You too can do it! Since it’s such fun having a go, why not book a special balloon workshop for your school, nursery or children’s group?. Grown ups need not be excluded either! Ideal for the workplace if you want to impress your customers or just fancy a get together to try something different
TRUDI PATIENT
We have a wonderful stilt walker available, Trudi who will stalk about, interact, juggle and even balloon model.
She is also a circus trainer and can run mini-circus workshops
She will arrive with a glorious costume that works on stilts, and she can run a circus workshop whilst entertaining with her lovely circus skills and balloonology.
Everyone is encouraged, nay - expected to join in!
THE RAPIDE BROTHERS
The RAPIDE BROTHERS arrive in a beautiful car and set up their hilarious clown show – no one is scared of Malteser and Izzo the clowns.
At outdoor events, they’ll set up a circus ring and get everyone - we mean everyone - to have a go at circus skills, they’re great teachers and love to share their skills.
GEOFFREY THE LION
Geoffrey the Lion is loveable and huggable. He can add character and
cheeky fun to any event by interacting with the crowds.
Geoffrey has a kind friendly face which will entice even the most
timid of spectators, even though he’s six foot tall.
Geoffrey can also style himself and dress to suit any theme – a Union Jack waistcoat, Christmas outfit, etc. He brings a minder to work with him and enhance his appearances.
RUSSELL KING
Russell is THE traditional entertainer for children. He’s a very experienced family magician who revels in entertaining huge family groups.
He always gets a good response from wide age-range parties.
In the middle of his very funny magic show a live rabbit appears - a real show stopper for children.
After a break he runs a crazy fun and games session (he doesn't provide Pass-the-Parcel), ending with balloon modelling.
He can either run the event as a combo of magic and games and music for 90 minutes, or provide two 40-minute sessions round a break.
"...He kept the children entertained, sat on their seats for over an hour which was wonderful.
Even my daughter who is usually very shy indeed, warmed to him and ended up at the front wearing a magical hat and cape - I was extremely surprised as she'd not normally be happy being the centre of attention.
Her face when she made the white rabbit appear was an absolute picture - all the kids spent the whole afternoon playing with the wonderful balloon creations he made them.
He went above and beyond what I expected, even helping to set up the gazebo when it looked like rain.
Thank you Russell for making the day very special indeed..."'
"Russell was very professional, funny and entertaining and he held the children’s attention completely throughout his show. He was completely on the children’s level (and there was a range of ages there) and they were totally into him and his act."
PROFESSOR ROBANTI
Globe-trotting Punch & Judy Showman Professor Robanti is one of the leading exponents of this traditional form of puppetry, a favourite with children (and adults!) for hundreds of years.
Over his twenty-year career, the Professor has performed throughout the UK (and other parts of the world) at all different kinds of events:
Fetes, Galas, Festivals, Carnivals, Fun days, Corporate days, Consultation galas & Country Fairs. The show is particularly suitable for schools, and he is often asked to perform at end of term or Christmas parties
Birthday parties are a speciality. As well as the Punch & Judy show, he performs magic: this involves the children helping to perform the tricks and of course the birthday child will always be invited to help. He also provides all the music for dancing and organises games and other party activities.
HENRIETTA RABBIT - The One with the Pink Hair
Hen can entertain for the whole party (two hours) with a magic show (45 minutes) then have a break for party food, then the games session (45 minutes) which includes my own version of pass the parcel.
I greet the children as they arrive with the bubble machine and a chance to add their name to the personalised birthday poster which Birthday Child will get to keep once I have secretly laminated it.
If the party is in a hall, we can have fun with the giant Parachute Cube (in a hall only) which is amazing; and games such as the Disappearing Child and the Squeaky Nose Game.
The party closes with a balloonology session, bubble machine and i-pod-disco which is never too loud – I use professional equipment so that the music doesn’t lose quality when it’s turned down to an acceptable level.
Everyone goes home clutching their favourite balloon animal, or maybe have a Glow-Stick Disco!
I have BRIGHT pink hair, black rabbit ears, a red ‘balloon’ dress and DMs. I can entertain up to 30 children.
“Thanks for the great party- you were great! Mums were asking after you so hopefully you will pick up some more parties. You did a fantastic job and we hope it was all ok for you…
We have another party in March so we will be in touch again!”
ROSIE RAINBOW
Rosie is our top and most experienced entertainer, after Henrietta Rabbit
Rosie opens the event with coloured hairsprays in rainbow colours, and makes a rainbow poster which all sign. This is secretly laminated for presentation to the Birthday Child later.
Each child receives a special sticky label to wear with their name on in rainbow lettering. When all have arrived, the bubbles are switched off and Rosie starts with some good old traditional games but she has her own special version of every game. She brings all the 'kit and kaboodle' required for the games, Pass the Parcel, prizes, etc. Also trendy i-pod disco so the choice of music is huge.
Then it's time for party food - over to you! Then all settle down for one of Rosie's hilarious magic shows, closing with bubble disco. The SNOW MACHINE appears for am exciting blizzard at the end of the party. The whole two hours involves magic, games, bubbles, balloonology prizes, colour hairsprays, personalised poster, pass-the-parcel, and snow machine.
“Rosie, hello!! Sorry, I had intended to mail you earlier but the celebrations for Violet's birthday went on throughout the weekend!! Thank you SO MUCH for Saturdays ‘performance’!!! Violet and her 37 pals had a ball!! I don’t know how you do it but you had them all eating out of the palm of your hand for nearly two hours and we can’t thank you enough!!!!!!!! Never again will we attempt to ‘entertain’ alone again!! Having you there took the pressure off of us and allowed us to enjoy the party too and all we’ve heard from Vi & her pals all weekend is ‘Rosie, Rosie, Rosie’ so you were obviously a very big hit!! Many thanks and see you again for sure! Very best wishes, “ (A Famous Person).
"Hi Stephanie. . . .
A big thank you to Rosie Rainbow, she was great! All the kids loved it, especially the magic show and the bubble and snow machines.
Ashil still keeps talking about it, it's been a memorable party for him, thanks again.
. . . A xx"
SANDRA, THE FAIRY CUPCAKE
Watch in amazement as Sandra, The Fairy Cup Cake works her magic around the room. She’s not ‘disneyfied’ or too girly and glittery which means the boys like her too! She wears a real fairy dress with wings and can read the birthday boys’ or girls’ mind which is really funny.
She will provide an adorable 2-hour party with a little magic, as her fairy tale adventure unfolds with balloons modelled as fairy wings and wands, cutlass, parrots and other wonderful and appropriate prizes. The children are enthralled by thousands of shimmering bubbles, beautiful music and wonderful games including the enormous fairy ring (colourful parachute).
During the first hour her telephone rings and it’s the Fairy Queen with a very special message for the birthday boy/girl.
If your little darling is a girl they will dance with the magic mushroom, float on air and learn all about The Fairy Cup Cake's friends. If your little darling is a boy they will ride the waves with Captain Jack, sword fight with Peter Pan and learn to fly an aeroplane in a mystical adventure full of fun, games, dance and a little drama At smaller parties (eg: up to 15 children) Sandra,
The Fairy Cup Cake can also FACE PAINT as a starter for no extra charge. 60 minutes of interaction, great party music, party games, dancing, pass the parcel and much more. Break for party food/Birthday Cake.

End Game
Mr Dan will end the party with a silly sword fight - all children will get a balloon sword to take part and keep.
This package includes:
“. . . . .He entertained 17 children aged 7-10 yrs old (both boys and girls) and had them all mesmerised for his entire show. He was very funny and is very clever...... and his huge balance ball..... well, after falling off it so many times he then he leapt on and walked the ball amongst them whilst juggling, wonderful stuff!
He kept them entertained 100%, controlled them well and even juggled for them whilst they ate. His circus workshop was also a great success,
all the children loved the chanceto be clowns and to spin plates and do tightrope walking. Marvellous, now the talk of the playground.
Made Ceri’s party the tops, thank you Dan, you are the man!. . . . .”
WONDERPHIL
A great magician, and, unusually for a male magician, is really brilliant at communication with the younger age group – he works
as a playgroup leader.
He’ll provide a great magic show, and after tea, games and quality music (he runs disco too) and balloonology.
He has a bubble machine....and NOW A LEVITATION act, too where a Helium Balloon floats the Birthday Child……
Here’s what customers think of him:
“I just wanted to send you a message to say thank-you so much for entertaining the children at Christian’s 5th Birthday party.
You were absolutely fantastic and all the children and Mums have been telling me how good your show was. The magic was amazing!! Your manner with the children is wonderful and I notice how you made the birthday boy feel really special which I thought was lovely.
Thank-you again for coming such a long way to the party I really appreciate it and next time we have a party I will give you a call and recommend you to all my friends. “
”I wanted to pass on a huge THANKS to you and Phil for his fantastic magic show. He was a big success and feedback was excellent. He worked extremely hard on the day and managed very well considering the amount of visitors. We definitely had a lot more people than expected at the event.”
Victoria at Harlow Carr Gardens.
WONDERWORM
A fun active disco party with dancing & gamesPete White's SUITCASE CIRCUS
Pete White's Suitcase Circus is a feast of fun and excitement for all ages. Juggling, magic, audience participation and circus fun in a show which lasts up to 60 minutes, or 2 x 30 minutes if appropriate. Pete is a very versatile performer, shows can be on stage, in a hall, outdoors or in your living room. With a reputation as a first class family entertainer, Pete performs at national festivals and stage events, as well as local parties, schools and events. He has performed Suitcase Circus at the Royal Albert Hall on four occasions. 'Your entertainment always goes down well and this year was no exception! Also, many thanks for compering the show. You did an absolutely superb job – it really couldn’t have been better and you contributed enormously to the success of the evening.' Peter West, Head of Music Service, London Borough of Camden.
' Just to say once again how much we enjoyed your performance. Charlotte said she loved the 'magician' and has been practising with her feather all evening! Your attitude with the children - gentle, but teasing was very very nicely done and I wish more entertainers were like you! Some of them just stand there and bark at the kids... You answered all their (sometimes pertinent) questions with very good humour too!' Many many thanks, Clare
PROFESSOR DAN SLATER
Roll up, roll up...
After entertaining hundreds of children at countless events last summer Professor Dan Slater’s Punch and Judy is available for the 2012 season. His authentically-swazzled show will entertain with traditional slapstick humour.
Dan’s show is quirky, fast & funny and will have children mesmerised, and is available for all kinds of events.
His two hour birthday party is full of music, magic and prizes. It opens with a 45 minute explosion of magic with Rocky the Raccoon, Dan’s trusty assistant. Robbie the Rabbit causes mischief and more laughter and Joey the Clown will fool ‘em all. The show has children laughing and shouting all the way to the end. Punch and Judy can be added to the show if requested.
After the party food break there’s 45 minutes of classic games including Pass the Parcel, Music Man and more. All games are non-elimination and all children win prizes. The Birthday Child takes centre stage as everybody sings Happy Birthday; Dan presents the B C with a unique balloon-model to make the day really special.
"Just wanted to let you know that we were really pleased with Professor Dan on Saturday for Oscars 5th birthday - he kept both kids and adults well entertained!!
Thanks very much,
Nicola xx"
"...the very excited children enjoyed it all, but even my husband sat through the whole magic show, too!..."
Like all Henrietta Rabbit Entertainers, Professor Dan would not be invited to become a member of the team without the all-important membership of Equity, a CRB check and PL insurance and a tremendous amount of talent. Dan is also a member of The Punch and Judy Fellowship and serves on the national committee.
