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.
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.
Most of our shows can be adapted to fit most party themes, just let us know what your party theme is during booking.
Yes, we offer a multiple booking discount of $25 off per show, for 2 or more shows booked on the same day.

As early as possible. Our show calendars are constantly being updated, so the sooner you book the better the chance that your ideal date and time will be available for you. We do take last minute bookings as long as ample travel time is available.
Simply contact us via email or and let us know that you would like to make a change to a booking.
We offer several different payment methods for the customer’s convenience. You can either pay before the party by making payment online with a credit card or PayPal account. Or you can pay on the day of the party by handing the performer cash or check payment after the performance. Our payment process is very simple and is explained in full upon confirming your booking.
As for my arrival time, I usually arrive just about 15 minutes beforehand as my setup is quick, simple, and compact.
I can arrive a little earlier if need be, but just to let you know my setup is easily transportable, not overly large, and non-disruptive to any nearby guests.
Yes, we perform outdoors as long as the weather permits it. It is good to have a backup plan for outdoor kids entertainment just in-case of any unexpected weather conditions such as heavy winds or rain.
Should you need to cancel your booking for any reason, simply contact us via or email and we will make the cancellation. Payments for canceled shows are fully refunded. As a courtesy, please give us enough time to re-schedule your time slot when possible.
