How long is
Aardy at the party?
Aardy is at the party for approx 50 minutes to an hour depending
on how many children are at the party. there is a 35 minute magic
show and then balloon animals are made afterwards. Aardy arrives
earlier than performance time to set up and give you the DVD's for
the lollie bags.
Do I have to move
anything for setup? What do I have to do?
Other than a chair
and you can point out where a powerpoint it Sit back and enjoy
the show. I’ve performed hundreds of birthday shows in
houses of all sizes. I’m self-contained, which means I
don’t have to borrow a table. I simply need a small 6' x
6', or 6' x 8', performing area indoors, and can help you move
your coffee table, if necessary. I’ll arrive about 10-15
minutes before the show start time to set up. I’ve
performed birthday shows in homes, school classrooms, recreation
centres, rental halls, restaurants, etc.
Are your shows
kid-appropriate? Are your shows age-appropriate?
A: Absolutely! As a
full-time professional family and children's entertainer, I
don’t use any foul language, or suggestive jokes. In my
birthday shows, there are no extreme tricks, no fire, no blades,
and no scary tricks.
I design my
birthday shows in one of two ways:
Age-specific
audience – If the birthday child
and most of the guests are the same age, then I provide an
age-appropriate show, so the birthday child and their friends
have a more enjoyable experience. I would do a different
show for a group of 4 year olds, than for a group of 9 year
olds, because they have different entertainment and
developmental needs. Although some of my birthday shows
are age-appropriate, parents and siblings find they enjoy the
shows just as much.
Wide age
audience – If most of the guests
are a wide range of ages, then I provide a show that is suitable
for a wider age range (I treat the show like my family audience
shows).
Are there animals
in your show?
A: No, I
don’t use live animals, which may make a mess in your home, or
bite your child. My focus is more on the audience participation.
I want the children to be the STARS of the show, not an animal.
Should Aardy
perform inside or outside?
Inside works
best, but as you can see from the video- the show can be
performed outside. It's up to you
What does
Aardy need from the parents?
Not much
really, Aardy needs the following:
- A Chair
- Access to a
power point (if out doors)
Can the
parents watch the show- would they enjoy the show as well?
It is optional
for parents to be at the show- you can either sit back and relax
elsewhere- but if you want to watch, Aardy's show can entertain
you.
