FUN IDEAS FOR WEDDINGS, PARTIES, EVENTS
I have listed under this category acts other than bands and comedy acts although some of these may contain an element of music or comedy. Our speciality acts include wedding/party/event crashers, magicians, ventriloquists, caricaturists, silhouette cutters, mime artistes, children's entertainers - but if you require something other than these then JUST ASK. (Perhaps a Photo Booth, a Fun Casino, a Silhouette Cutter, Spoof Security Guards, Fake Paparazzi, Dinner Buskers, Comedy Cleaners, Fake Protesters, Spoof Health & Safety Officers or a Lookalike).
