A Very Funny Children's Birthday Party Entertainer in Somerset, Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Bath, and Beyond     

Children's Party Entertainer, Clown, Magician and Storyteller. 

A Professor Paradox children's  party show is an exciting adventure into a magical world of trolls and goblins, slapstick and magic, fun and frogs, and some very silly magic spells. 

Whether it's a Christmas show, or a Halloween party, or that special birthday party there will be excitement, fun, and a lot of laughter - will he make the magic rainbow in time, before we are all eaten by goblins? Will he be able to turn that frog back into a boy before his mum sees him and, oh no, did someone's dad volunteer to be a fairy?! 

Combine pantomime with fairytale, add magic, slapstick, silliness, and above all laughter, and you have a show that  keeps children enthralled for an hour and makes groan-ups forget they ever grew up. 

Now that special birthday party isn't just a wonderful time for the children - it's the most fun you and the other adults have had for ages!

NEW! For younger children Mr Silly Billy performs a very funny show that introduces children to the all important life skill of shouting 'IT'S BEHIND YOU!' Mr Silly can't find his spectacles (he's wearing them) or his suitcase (he's sitting on it) and oh no, his magic stick just whacked him on the bottom - AGAIN!.

Frequently Asked Question

What do you do at a childrens party?

To explain this, it’s easiest to start with what I don’t do. I don’t try to impress the children by doing something clever that they can’t do, I don’t play disco music, I don’t use a microphone, I don’t wear a red nose, or make balloon animals and none of my tricks appear to work. Children don’t enjoy seeing adults performing tricks they can’t do, and it’s not what clowning is about.

What I do is stick to simple ideas that children understand, make them feel that they are cleverer than me, and make them laugh and feel good about themselves.

The show starts with the children sitting quietly on their best behaviour (your job), then I enter and do a bit of warm up slapstick – I may have terrible trouble finding my hat “It’s on your head” and even more trouble getting it to stay on, but eventually I’m ready.

Then the tale begins as I draw the audience into a fairytale world where playfulness and imagination take the audience on a rather silly adventure to rescue everyone from the Goblins of Blackbogie Forest, or Captain Dribblesnot and the Pirates, who are coming to steal the birthday cake, or possibly eat the children, depending on their age. I’m upstaged by the children, the world’s smelliest sock, a rather naughty bunny rabbit, and a very disobedient walking stick that persists in flying through the air and whacking me on the bottom.

I fall over a lot, have arguments with my hat, my stick, an invisible rabbit, and the silly sausages that keep interrupting the show. Children get turned into frogs, grown ups get turned into bunny rabbits and the world gets turned upside down – it’s a world of fun, fairytale, and imagination, filled with laughter, fun and audience participation, including the adults who have to join in!

In the end we make the magic rainbow that saves us from the wicked pirates, and we all live happily ever after.

It’s very silly and everyone has a good time, including me, otherwise I wouldn’t do it. The show lasts about an hour
