We have been performing for children’s parties since 1981! Experience is invaluable.
We are the children’s party specialists! We have performed at thousands of parties over our 30 year history having started the trend back in 1981! In fact, we are now performing for the children of the children of the children these days! We continue to play an integral part in the creation of wonderful childhood memories. We are often spotted driving to and from shows and regularly have adults pulling up beside us at traffic lights calling out, ‘Hey you did my party when I was 5. I’m 25 now!’ It always gives us that warm, fuzzy feeling.
On arrival Chris will greet the birthday person with a cheery Happy Birthday and then set about sitting the children down to watch the show. It takes him about 2 minutes to set up his gear and is fully self contained. The shows are presented in the true Ship-O’-Fools tradition.
All his shows include 3, 4, & 5 ball juggling, club & cricket bat juggling, plenty of magic tricks, music, a game and for the finale, club and cricket bat juggling on a 6’ foot unicycle! Throughout the show the children and adults are kept very amused with Chris’s quick wit and very funny patter. Chris is excellent at improvisation. As you can imagine, anything can happen at a children’s party and Chris is well equipped to handle any situation that may arise! The actual performance is about 35 minutes long and is chock-a-block full of what we call “WOW” factor!
Following the show, he will make all the children a balloon sculpture of their choice. He can make an array of sculptures including, puppy dogs, mice, birds, swords and flowers to name just a few.
