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 so we'll start there.
END OF TERM SHOW
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.
90 minute show - features all of the above plus a mini disco with games and competitions, prizes and party dancing etc.
We can also offer the following:
Traditional Punch & Judy - 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!
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 puppet workshop where
the children make and keep their own miniature Punch & Judy show.
Educational
Magic Show - Comedy
magic is performed with an educational theme (colours, numbers,
shapes etc.), this is an ideal way to educate children whilst
having fun.
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 to 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.
Craft Workshops - Children find it very enjoyable making our masks, hats and
puppets. All the materials are supplied and this can also be adapted to many
themes e.g. Christmas, Easter etc.
Fund Raising Shows - These are usually held after school where you charge a small
fee for the children to watch either a 45 minute magic show or 90 minute magic
and mini disco. These can also be adapted to a themed event i.e Halloween etc.
The children have a great time and your school gets much needed additional funds.
