MARRIONETTE PUPPET SHOW
There are two shows, including some well known childhood characters (eleven in total) in the form of marrionette puppets. They are as big as two and three year olds brought out in a calm gentle way to nursery rhyme music with a lively disco beat. The children will get a chance to cuddle, dance, jump and march with them.
Also included is some light hearted story magic with a rabbit production. The rabbit sits on the rabbit throne on the birthday child's lap if they wish. The child strokes the rabbit while they receive their special balloon sculpture.
For the three and four year olds both entertainers are capable of turning this into two hours, with a break for food, by adding music and games or making balloon sculptures but it generally lasts 45 minutes to an hour.
Mr Ballooney spent many years reseaching children's likes and dislikes between the ages of 18 months to fours. It has become a huge success. We have extensive experience in working with this age group, the shows have been running for twelve years. The end result is these two shows carry the magic and fun guarantee.
This show is aimed at the 18 months to four year olds. And even if older children are at the party, they will have a good time too. Ideal for birthdays, nurseries, toddler and pram groups or any other occasion involving younger children.
PUNCH AND JUDY
Puppet shows are more suitable for homes, although it can work in halls under the right conditions. For ages four to sevens and mixed age groups.
This not a traditional Victorian macabre theme but a more up to date version. It's not violent and is politically correct, with more slapstick humour! The four main characters involved are Mr Punch, Judy, Crocodile and The Policeman.
Before starting the show there will be a clowning routine where Mr Ballooney wears his giant nappy which will have them in fits of laughter and the moving flowers that will have them screaming with excitement.
After the puppet show, there will be more clowning followed by comedy magic with a live rabbit production. The rabbit sits on the throne on the birthday child's lap while they receive their special balloon sculpture. All the children can stroke the rabbit and recieve a flying balloon mouse. This is based on a one hour show. To extend this to two hours with a break, it will be filled with comedy magic and music and games.

Let him amaze you with his fast paced hilarious circus show...
See his tricks with the giant yo-yo, it jumps up into the air and bounces back onto the string then flies around his legs with comical consequences.
Follow his comedy juggling routine - he doesn't just juggle three balls but will have you on the edge of your seat as he builds up to seven.
Be amazed be his club juggling routine involving a child volunteer (they get their own back by putting a custard pie in his face at the end of the show!)
Watch him clown around on the one wheel bike.
Finally the show finishes with comedy magic - a magic production with a bunny rabbit and the birthday child strokes the rabbit while they recieve their special balloon sculpture. All the children can stroke the rabbbit and recieve a flying balloon mouse.
We do use real live rabbits for our shows, they are our pets. At no point do we compromise the rabbits' health. They are treated with respect and they love the attention!
The magic tricks are 'rabbit friendly', ensuring the rabbits do not come to any harm. They are trained from young for the show environment, to make sure they are of a suitable temperament.
