We are based near Northampton but can travel to any location in the UK. We have experience entertaining children of all ages and can perform either to just a few children or to a whole school.
The most requested show we are asked for is the 'end of term' show and at either Christmas or pre summer holiday but we can also provide many other shows, activities and workshops. With being established for over 20 years you won't find any other entertainer with more experience.

MAGIC SHOWS
We usually perform a 45 minute show featuring comedy magic, loads of audience participation and puppets including Scruffy the dog, Roofus the rabbit or Hilda the hen. The children have a great time, the teachers have a break and it makes the end of term something really special.
1 ½ hour show - features all of the above plus a mini disco with games and competitions, prizes and party dancing etc.
PUNCH AND JUDY SHOW
This year is the 350th anniversary of Punch & Judy. In 1662 Samuel Pepys first mentioned the show in his diaries so why not celebrate this historic event by booking a live performance at your school.
Professor Chris Cullen has been performing Punch & Judy for over 20 years and its popularity is better today than ever before. With an authentic Mr Punch voice, this is slapstick comedy at its best. So join in with Mr Punch and celebrate his 350th anniversary, there has never been a better time to book the show.
This is ideal for projects such as Victorian or seaside themes etc., and can also include a short talk before the show if required. The 45 minute spot can be extended to a full half day session by including a Punch & Judy workshop where the children make and keep their own miniature Punch & Judy show.
PUNCH AND JUDY WORKSHOP
Our Punch & Judy workshop is always a great success at every school we attend, in fact most of the schools rebook year after year. Children love making puppets and in our Punch & Judy workshop they make and keep their very own Punch & Judy Show. After a short break the children get a real surprise when they enter the room to see our colourful stripey booth. The children then hear all about the 350 year history of the show and after a demonstration of the puppets involving some of the children, we finish off with the Punch and Judy Show which includes the characters Mr Punch, Judy, Baby, Policeman etc. and of course a sausage munching Crocodile.
This is ideal for school projects such as Victorian and Seaside themes etc. We can also provide the same type of Puppet Workshop but with Fairytale puppets such as Little Red Riding Hood and the 3 Little Pigs etc.
PUPPET WORKSHOP
Educational fun for children of all ages from 30 minutes to half or full day workshops featuring glove, string, rod and shadow puppetry. This incorporates a wide range of puppets from Ethnic Origins where children use their imaginations and make and create their own play situations. The puppets and the puppet theatre are all provided. The children can work as a team, building up their confidence and establishing better communication skills. Because of the educational value of these activities, it may be possible to obtain funding from the Local Education Authority.
RECYCLE MAGIC SHOW
This is a brand new show we have been working on for the past 12 months. We all know how important it is to encourage people to recycle more. With this new show we believe we can encourage children in a fun environment all about how and why we must recycle more. The show features comedy, audience interaction, competitions, puppets and magic recycling machine and lasts approximately 30 minutes. This can then be followed by a recycling workshop where children turn every day household items into sculptures they can keep. We can adapt this to fit around your timetable and is ideal for a morning or afternoon session or if time is an issue you can just book the Recycle Magic Show on its own.
