"THE WIZARD’S TALE"

This modern day fairytale, hosted by Wacky the Wizard, has a large cast. it includes a fairy, a horse called Nellie, and a naughty little boy called Jason who gets turned into a spider by a witch. Grandad arrives to save the day, but he too has a spell cast upon him, and turns into a chair!
This show based on the traditional ‘fairytale’ style is a great show for those trying to entertain a wide age range of children. Suitable for children between 4 and 10 years old (approx.) Has been very popular, especially at schools, libraries and festivals.

"THREE ANIMAL STORIES"

During this session, children are entertained by three different stories. They meet "Sammy The Seal" , "Silly Billy Dog", and spend some time on "Uncle John’s Farm". The children also learn a song, feed Billy the dog and receive a colouring in poster.  Written initially for Playgroups, but has since become our most popular show for  children aged between 3 and 7 (approx.) Being made up of three sections, the children’s attention is well maintained. Great for kindergartens

"CIRCUS WITH PUNCH"

After a short cleaning session, Mr. Punch is ready to host his famous circus. Madness and mayhem abounds however when he hears that the performers have gone on holiday. Mr. Hardley is then tricked into walking on the tight - rope, Judy rides the lions ( thinking they are horses ) , Blue the fish squirts everybody, and finally Mr. Hardley returns and ‘loses his head’ in the lion taming act !
Full of bright, non stop action. This show is somewhat more slapstick than others and therefore has proved more successful for older children or at events such as festivals and fetes, or for shopping Centre promotions. Full of laughs and enjoyed by children between 5 and 12 (approx.)

"PUNCH & JUDY"

After behaving badly in this show, Mr. Punch says "That’s the way to do it !" The audience however, have been pre warned of his reputation and respond by saying ; "That’s NOT the way to do it !" After a visit to the circus, crashing his wife’s car, and refusing to pay his medical bills, the audience help decide on Punch’s fate.
Our version of this famous show has been modified so that the audience discusses the rights and wrongs of Mr. Punch’s actions. As with "Circus With Punch" this show is aimed at older children , 5 - 12 years old (approx.) and has been a great hit at Holiday programs, Festivals and the like.

"DEAR SANTA"

Father Christmas narrates this story which is broken into three parts. We meet Jason and Kylie who are busy decorating their Christmas tree,  Mr. & Mrs. Grump who are entertained by a singing bird, and in part three the audience are asked to help Santa as he and Mario the milkman both get strange notes from house number 6.
Santa is busy at Christmas time : many schools, social clubs, kindergartens, and markets use this show to round off the years activities ! Suitable for 5/6 year olds up to 8 year olds (approx.).

"EASTER SURPRISE"

With the help of the audience, William solves each clue of his treasure hunt. Finding himself in the forest, however, a fish explains that he is on an important mission to help the Easter Bunny who thinks children are scared of him. William does his job well and he and the audience are rewarded with a chocolate egg. A show with plenty of audience input, makes this ideal for Shopping Centres, and is also popular for kinders and other Easter events. Enjoyed by children between 3 or 4 years old and 8 years old (approx.)
