ENTERTAINMENT

What types of entertainment do you offer?

  • Silly Puppet Show (Performed by “Sam the Puppeteer”)
  • Comedy Ventriloquist Acts (Performed by “Jungle Joe”)
  • Balloon Twisting (Basic and Fancy)

We specialize in fun, interactive entertainment designed for children ages 1–10. Our puppet and magic shows are perfect for birthday parties, school assemblies, preschool events, church functions, community festivals, and more.

All of our services can be customized to match your party theme, making the show even more special for your guests.

What age group is the show best for?

Our silly puppet and magic shows are perfect for kids aged 1 to 10 years old, but we always adapt the energy and humor to suit your group! whether it's toddlers, preschoolers, or early elementary school children!

Is there a limit to the number of kids?

We recommend one show for up to 100 children to ensure a fun and interactive experience.
If you have more than 100 kids, we suggest splitting into two groups and booking two back-to-back shows.
✅ Bonus: Get $50 off each show when both are scheduled at the same day and location!

Can your shows be adapted to fit a particular party theme?

Yes! All of our shows can be fully customized to match your party theme! whether it’s princesses, superheroes, dinosaurs, jungle safari, unicorns, or anything else your child loves. From themed jokes and puppet characters to custom balloon designs and music, we make sure the entertainment feels unique to your celebration.

Can you provide references or testimonials from previous clients?

Absolutely! We have over 235 five-star reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from real customers across the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento–Stockton–Modesto regions. Our clients include local families, schools, libraries, and community organizations who trust us to make their events unforgettable. You can read their feedback on our Google Business page and Yelp page.

Do you do kids entertainment at homes/parks/clubhouses/restaurants?

Yes, we do! We regularly perform at homes, parks, clubhouses, community centers, restaurants, and more. Whether it's your backyard or a reserved party room, we bring everything needed to create a fun and engaging experience! just let us know the setup details when booking.

When is the best time to schedule your show during the event? (eg: before or after food/cake)

It’s suggested to allow 15 to 30 minutes between the party’s start time and the show’s start time just to allow for late arrivals to make it in so they don’t miss the show. Aside from that, show scheduling is up to the customer’s discretion based on how they would like their event to be scheduled. We do not have any personal preference for when our shows should be scheduled during the party. However, we are here to help should you need help with scheduling.

Is food allowed during the kids entertainment?

We try to avoid having the kids eating or carrying any food items during our kids entertainment. Our shows are interactive so things tend to get spilled when the kids get up, and the kids’ hands may be dirty with food residue when they touch the puppets. Exceptions can be made for food that is not particularly messy, just ask during the booking process.
