Lightning Rider - Auckland
A startling spectacular and outstanding short feature for conference. Lightning shoots off this guy in all directions.
Basically the act is best kept short... 2/3 minutes and consists of 2 million volts flashing and arcing from the coil/performer. This is based on the work of Nickola Tesla a Electrical physics from the beginning of last century.
Requires large clear area surrounding act.

Kozo Komatsubara - Juggler - Auckland

His Las Vegas style Tempo Juggling Routine will leave you at the edge of your seat, He spins his clubs so fast that sometimes the eyes and the brain cannot keep up with the speed!
Trixie The Fairy - Auckland
delighful entertainment for the kids
- Walkabouts, Magic, Balloons

I have 2 shows to choose from - basically both consist of puppets and magic tricks.
My pre-school 'Nursery Rhyme Show' is ideal for under 5's. The children get to meet and interact with a number of puppets from Nursery Rhyme Land and sing along to their favourite songs.
My second show is aimed at 4-7yr olds and is quite structured. The puppet show is based on the
children's book 'The Itchy Witch'. Both shows use the same magic tricks.
I make the birthday child a fairy wand and crown out of balloons.
I generally make animal balloons for the guests if there are under 20 children.
If there are more than this then I am still happy to make balloons but will shorten the show as it will be more time consuming.

Empress Stiltdance - Wellington Empress Stiltdance are a troupe of stilt walkers in amazing costumes. We have a seperate page for this act to do it justice
Tricky The Clown - Wellington
Professional family entertainment that will appeal to all ages.
'Tricky' performs for around 45 minutes: I start the show as 'Rick' and change into 'Tricky' by applying makeup and slipping on the costume. This helps keep the little ones, who may be afraid of a clown suddenly appearing, feeling safe; I'd hate to ruin a kid's day! It also respects the intelligence of the older kids who would challenge a clown appearing ('you're just dressed up'!).

This way I get all the kids onboard for a great time together through music, magic, juggling, and prizes - with lots of audience participation along the way.

Suitable for any size audience - and any age! Social clubs, staff's family day, and Christmas or private parties.

The Old Waiter-Wellington
He’s old, stooped, and slow …and mute - just what you would not want in a waiter. But this “Old Waiter’s” roving show is very funny and includes a bit of close-up magic that will leave your guests awe-struck.
Performed on many occasions with brilliant results, you may like to add “The Old Waiter” to your dinner/cocktail party menu as more subtle, low-keyed alternative entertainment to the “Manuel from Fawlty Towers” show.

Santa “Claws” -Wellington
Wouldn’t you too be pissed-off having to wear a red suit and white beard to look old and fat when everyone else is partying?!
So you take it out on the party-goers, using information supplied by work-mates to poke fun at people during their end-of-year staff party. Definitely “adult”, this is a new fun way to acknowledge the “silly season” that could also include “Santa Claws” handing out specially chosen gifts and “awards” to those who deserve it.

Man in Black -Wellington
Secret Agent / Bodyguard / Man of Mystery While your guests are gathering at your special event, ensure their enjoyment (and safety?) with the roving “MiB”.
Communicating through a “wire” to an imaginary HQ, the “MiB” downloads data on people and uses what seem to be “high tech” gadgets to scan people, and the occasional women’s handbag, with hilarious results. This roving show would suit as an “ice-breaker” for any occasion, as it will add intrigue and anticipation to your special event.

Jonathon Acorn - Auckland
is ....... a comic, a fool, an entertainer, an actor,a puppeteer. He's weird, wacky, bizarre, extremely funny, he's a catalyst, a dogalyst, musical, outrageous, challenging and he is FUN!
Acorn's show varies from traditional pantomime pieces to a Proctologist's lecture on Haemorrhoids; from playing the blues harp to Puppetry. .
Walkabout Characters are also on Acorn's list; from the worlds ugliest baby to a classic jester,a roving reporter,a traffic director,Scrooge and no walkabout is complete without the classic pirate!

Variety pieces,festival shows,film work,tv.work,voice-overs,street festivals and corporate shows are all part of the life of Jonathon Acorn- the 'Itinerant Entertainer'.(Jonathon likes to think that he is based in Auckland,New Zealand, however, in reality he lives in a suitcase! Which of course, is why he is so small!!)

Welcome to the realm of the Fool where nothing is sacred yet all is acknowledged.

Book him .... He's Good!
