Booked for Birthday party for kids

Well what a fantastic Party we had thanks to Mr.Potato (Eddie) it really was the greatest party my son has had so far thanks to this entertainment act. The Facepainter was absolutely fantastic and so talented the kids all looked great and Eddie was superb, the balloon animal, swords, hats etc were unbelievable and every child had one which they loved. The kids and adults all had a great time having ago at the circus pieces and the kids were so entertained by the whole act! The disco at the end was a great finish too with music,lights and bubble machine. I couldn’t thank Eddie and his friend enough I was blown away. I will definitely be recommending this act to everybody and will be booking again in the future thank you so much for making my sons birthday fantastic xxx

Booked for Wedding

We absolutely recommend Squeaky. We hired him for our wedding- much better, we thought, than standing in a queue for face-painting or similar. He arrived early and stayed late. The 25 children at our wedding, from the 2 year olds to the 10 year olds, followed him around like he was the Pied Piper of Hamlin. I have to admit, I'm not the most massive fan of clowns and it's not particularly my bag but he was fantastic with the kids and they absolutely loved it. I don't think you'd regret booking squeaky.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
