CHILDRENS ENTERTAINERS

Childhood memories are so important.

Every parent knows the importance

Children place upon their own birthdays.

Each birthday is a new milestone.

Traditionally a time of celebration, birthday parties for children are a rather special gathering. It is a time, more then ever, that mums and dads make that extra special effort, the reward being simply that extra special smile.

We understand what makes a birthday party special. Our experience shows us there are many different types of children. Years of doing shows every weekend, watching other peoples shows, listening to the children and their parents have allowed us to put together arguably the very best in children’s entertainment.

The most important thing we know is that children soon get bored sitting down and watching. In our shows they are continually taking part, especially the birthday person. (Though we also understand that not all birthday boys/girls want to be the center of attention, we take everything into account!)

Your children's party is our business. We never forget that the greatest form of advertising is by word of mouth. If we do an excellent show, you and the children will be happy to pass our name on. We welcome repeat business.

At FUNTIME!!! our talented entertainers are chosen with great care and trained in the art of children’s variety performing. Only when they satisfy us that they can maintain and improve the companies high reputation are they allowed to work under our name, in a show we know works!

To describe the show in words, is like trying to describe the taste of chocolate without eating it. It is best simply to experience it to get it's full flavour, but I will try my best to give you an idea.

First of all the whole show starts like a pantomime with the entertainer getting everybody cheering & in the party spirit.

We then find out who the birthday person is by a comedy mind-reading routine that involves all the children.

We sing to the birthday person a specially written song.... which is totally out of tune! The children’s help is needed, so everyone sings 'Happy Birthday To You!".

Then everything goes a little silly. The entertainer gets everyone to drink a cup of invisible lemonade, which of course the children have to shake by jumping to make it really fizz! When we drink the pretend fizzy lemonade, it makes everyone jump up & down going "Hic" and "Burp", then children take delight in singing "Hiccy Burpy To You!"

From there we move into the magic show, where we've borrowed a leaf or two from Tommy Cooper, because everything keeps going wrong! So of course we need the children to help the magic go right.

This is a great way to get them involved. As well as using children for the magic tricks, the puppet Sooty and a magic wand are handed out to the audience. Of course everyone has to shout the magic word for the humorously performed magic to work. There are plenty of prizes handed out to those who help with the tricks.

The grand finale is the puppet show with famous characters such as Tweetie Pie, Sylvester, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sooty, Sweep & Sue.

In our show the puppets are handed out to the children, so they can even join in the puppet show holding their TV heroes. The story of the puppet show varies with our entertainers and occasions.

The presentation of our shows vary with each entertainers distinct character and particular special talents. It varies also with the audience they are presenting the show to. Experience has taught us that the younger age-groups (3-5) need a softer approach, the middle age groups (5-7) need a fairly high energy approach and the older age groups (7-10) need a quick witted and high energy approach! Parties involving a mixed age group is a challenge to our entertainers, because of the age groups different needs, but it is a challenge we always rise to and win.

For age-groups over 10, we recommend a children’s disco where a magic show and games can be incorporated . Of course we cater for this too. (In fact we offer exceptionally high standard Disco, Karaoke & Adult Cabaret for all occasions including weddings, 21st`s, officeparties etc. through our sister company SILVERSOUNDS DISCOTHEQUES, though further information/ bookings can be made through FUNTIME!!! Finally, we video most of the shows through our sister company QUICK SLICK FLICKS for optional purchase.
