Magician and Storyteller For
Schools, Theatres, Festivals, Parties and Family Events in Somerset and
the West Country
Professor Paradox is probably the funniest children's
entertainer you will ever see - A multi award winning performer and clown with over 25 years
experience, his hilarious shows combine
slapstick, clowning, magic, storytelling and stupendous inspired sillyness. His
experience in theatre and the arts is as well suited to his work as a
kids party entertainer for birthday parties
as it is to theatres, schools, and arts festivals, and his shows can be adapted to
suit almost any event. He's a clown, magician, children's entertainer, fool,
funnyman, and buffoon!
Professor
Paradox brings a unique style to his work. More than a series of magic
tricks, or clown routines, it is a theatre performance with a story that
takes the audience into a fairytale world where ordinary objects assume
a magical quality, a sense of excitement and mystery develops, and the
children are taken on an adventure into a world of goblins, trolls,
heroes, slapstick, and some very silly magic spells! It has the
excitement that children love without being too scary!
A colourful show for children of
all ages
A Christmas party
show will be an adventure to save Santa from the thieving Goblins who want to
steal all the presents, a Halloween show is about witches
and ghouls, a children's birthday party can incorporate just about any
theme, and the Professor's Pirate shows are the stuff of legend.
Specialising in family and
children's shows for audiences with a wide age range there are shows for
theatres, schools, arts festivals, play schemes, birthday parties and
events, so have a look around the site to see photos, stories, party tips,

Themed
Party Shows
The Pirate Party Show
Professor Paradox can adapt his shows to fit in with
whatever the birthday child comes up with - and there have been a few
interesting themes over the years...
The most popular theme is Pirates, or Pirates and Princesses. It's great
fun as the professor and the children embark on an adventure to save
everyone from Captain Dribblesnot and the Pirates of the Green Bogie.

it's a bit late to start thinking about Christmas and this show does get booked
up, but you might just be lucky! Particularly suitable for schools and organisations, this show is
about a desperate attempt to rescue Santa from the Goblins of Blackbogie
Forest in time for Christmas ...
The Environmental
Show for Children's parties is popular these days - for more details
see eco show under themes in the column on the right, and there are lots
of tips and ideas for an
environmentally
themed birthday party in the tips and ideas section. Everything used
in the show is recycled, and of course the show is still very funny but
includes a gentle message to look after the world
And it's getting to that time to think about
A
Christmas Party Show again - You really do have to book early
Professor Paradox has performed at Arts Festivals and
Family Events throughout the UK and beyond for almost twenty five years. A
programme of shows for the day can be tailored to fit into the theme of
the event. There will soon be a festivals page on this site, but in the
meantime have a look at the

The Professor's shows are particularly suitable for
many special needs children, particularly entertainment for deaf or
hearing impaired, due to their highly visual content. The
simplicity and slapstick nature of the shows is also well suited to
entertain children with learning disabilities. If you need a children's
entertainer for children with special needs, Professor Paradox has
plenty of experience of performing to mixed groups and special needs
schools.
"Great show, lots of lovely laughter
from the children - enjoyed by everyone. Many thanks."

About Professor Paradox - Character Clown, magician, storyteller
Author of several
children's stories Professor Paradox has a unique way of entertaining
children by combining storytelling, clowning, juggling, and magical
performances using his clowns skills along with those of musician,
magician, jester, and fool. Yes there is music, magic, mime,
theatre, and even dance. Is it theatre, art, or
entertainment? Whatever the answer, he brings a rare talent to the order
of magicians, storytellers, clowns, party performers and musicians, and
he really puts the ART into pARTies!
Professor Paradox can
perform shows for all ages including reception,
pre school and early years because he understands
what makes kids laugh, and although he is often asked to do a show for
the kiddies to keep them quiet, his shows don’t keep anyone quiet! All
the world's a stage and although he never was a circus clown, he has
performed as a street entertainer, a busker, a character clown, a silent
clown and a fairly noisy clown!
Professor Paradox performs
high-quality interactive theatre and really enjoys children's parties.
He doesn't do balloon modelling or discos or bouncy castles, or
even face painting or puppet shows and bubbles only make an occasional
appearance.
Punch and Judy shows are
wonderful because they educate children through play, and Punch and Judy
is an essential part of every child's education. So links to puppeteers
and face painters are being added to the links pages, along with other
children's entertainers and magicians. If this children's party magician
isn't suitable you'll find a clown, or puppeteer or storyteller who is.
In the
UK
children’s party entertainers are often called magicians. In
Ireland
a party entertainer is a funnyman – someone who makes children laugh.
Professor Paradox is a funny man who does some magic tricks as part of
his birthday party show but it is more than a magic show and includes
stories, jokes, slapstick, conjuring, humour, clowning, circus and
comedy.
He has a special show for
playgroups and pre school groups called Mr silly Billy which combines
children’s theatre with the best elements of magic shows, with
entertainment suitable for younger children and pre school children and
their parents of course.
