Speciality Entertainment
Slightly away from the mainstream, some speciality entertainers can literally draw crowd at any place and at any time, particularly if you’ve chosen a cartoonist or a portrait artiste to delight your audience. Or, if you prefer, you may want to tear your way through an evening with a spot of origami or some silhouettists.
Your guests could be temporarily deprived of a wallet or a watch courtesy of a lightning quick pickpocket act. Alternatively they may enjoy seeing if expert bar staff can hold their drink – or at least catch them – as the finest bartenders in the world juggle with bottles and glasses ala Tom Cruise-style in the movie ‘Cocktail’.
Many an audience delights at the amazing ins and outs of some of the most flexible contortionists on the modern day entertainment circuit, whereas a spot of clowning around never goes amiss especially when the custard pies start flying.
Fortune tellers, jesters, robotic dancers, fire eaters, acrobats and stilt walkers offer you a towering choice of novel acts to help make your special event even more so.
For the younger generation we offer a whole host of children’s entertainment including balloon-modelling, face-painting and comedy magicians. Speciality entertainment has never been so diverse, but if you can’t find what you want just let us know and we will go out and source that certain something that will help you make your mark with your chosen audience.
