Who are we..
We are a family of professional Childrens Entertainers originally from Kingswinford, near Dudley. We are exceptional entertainers, providing quality content in our performances, guaranteeing lots of happy families leave our shows, with repeat performances always being requested.
We have worked for Alton Towers, Severn Valley Railway, Dudley Zoo, Conkers, BMW, Barclays, Premiership Football Clubs, Virgin, all Local Authorities and hundreds of Schools amongst others. We have also had the pleasure of entertaining in Rome for the UK Ambassador, for Royal Visits and for a Royal Variety Show at the Royal Albert Hall.
We have Enhanced DBS Clearance, are Equity insured and all electrical equipment is PAT certificate tested annually.
2 hour Parties . As Flip and Dippy, we provide a unique 2 hour complete party. We organise the party from when the children arrive to when they depart. The idea is for us to lighten your load!
The first thing we do is greet the children as they arrive, we then perform the SHOW OF YOUR CHOICE(see below), after this we allow a SHORT BREAK for you to feed the children. Then we start our DISCO section with flashing lights, GAMES, current POP and PARTY MUSIC. We play games like pass the parcel, clown corners, musical bumps, musical animals and dance all the action songs with the children so they can copy us if they have not done them before. We will supply all the PRIZES required, STICKERS for all the children and a GIFT for the birthday child. All of our shows are fully interactive with lots of audience participation and children assistants. Each show also has its own themed banners.
Flip the Clown suitable for 3-11yrs
These are still my most popular shows and are tailored to the age of the children in front of us, soft and gentle for younger children, right upto wacky and wild for older children. In our Clown shows we perform a variety of hilarious routines, spinning plates, magic tricks, juggling, unicycling, walking on globes, sometimes even a puppet is included in the show, everything seems to go wrong and the children have no hesitation in letting us know. There is lots of slapstick and silliness in these unforgettable shows.
Puppet Show suitable for 3-6yrs
Our puppet shows are soft and gentle shows,e bring 5-6 puppets to each show, they are all large hand puppets who perform various routines, magic tricks, singing, musical instruments and playing games with the children. There are both animal puppets and people puppets, all of which fully engage the children in their activities. We have many puppets that come with us some of which are, Trevor the Turtle, Cowboy Joe, Petey the Penguin, Princess Amelia, Bumble or Bertie the Bears, Pinkie the Pirate.
Greatest Showman themed show. suitable for 5-11yrs
Presented by a Ring Master in full tailcoat, this show will be a circus themed show with some of the music from the award winning film. This performance will showcase balance, danger and comedy. Some of the sketches that we are looking to include are the World of Fear, Tightrope Troubles and the Skateboards of Doom. For the full effect the second half of the party can be a Circus Skills workshop, where the children get to learn how to juggle, stilt walk, diabolo and balance on lots of different apparatus etc.
Circus Skills Party suitable for 6-60 yrs
We bring a huge variety of props for the children to learn. First we perform a short 10-15 minute show instructing the children in all the apparatus they are about to try, after this they are let loose to try, juggling scarves, diabolo, stilt walking, twirling poi, balance boards, pedal racers, peacock feathers, skippers, lolo hoppers etc. All the while we are going around, helping the children master the equipment. Any parents that stay will be welcome to join in and learn new skills for themselves.
Super Hero School suitable for 5+yrs
This is predominantly a magic show where we will tell a fully interactive story of us going to superhero school, a Superhero puppet will be on hand to teach us all about being a Superhero. With the children's help we will learn to read minds, teleport items around the stage and be brave in the face of danger. Dragon and Unicorn Show suitable for 4+yrs
This is a fantasy based magic and puppet show. There will be 2 main puppets Merlin the magic Unicorn and Dudley the Dangerous (a 4' Dragon) Using the children's imagination we will magically produce a picture of Merlin the Magic Unicorn, before he is introduced to the crowd and performs his magic routine. There will be a fantastic 4 player dragon game to act as the introduction to Duggie the Dragon, who will then perform his show.
Childrens Game Show suitable for 6-11yrs
