Absolutely fantastic. Louise kept boys and girls ranging in ages from 3 to 10 years old, entertained for 3 hours straight, while I had my baby shower at the same time in the same hall. The kids loved the creative hand painting, balloon making and range of games she had to offer. Thank you so much Louise.

Leizel was fantastic! Would highly recommend her!
Kids Party Entertainers
$150
Chantelle was incredible. All of the children and parents were so happy. Chantelle painted everyone's faces and made sure that every one was painted prior to leaving. Dressed for the occasion as a fairy, our daughter was so happy with the extra effort put into her face painting also. We would highly recommend Chantelle for any event and if required in the future would use again. You will not be disappointed in booking with Chantelle

What does entertaining include?
Music & dancing
Every event needs music, so why not step things up a notch with live musicians and dancers? Stir emotions with a talented bagpiper, traditional drummers, or a folk guitarist and singer. Or get a DJ to mix some of the latest hits and get the dance floor going. Impress guests at your restaurant or party and hire belly dancers to mingle and dance amongst the tables. Your performers will engage the audience, encourage participation, and ensure your guests have an amazing time.
Balloons & face painting
When you’re looking to hire a children’s entertainer, you can’t go past a balloon artist and face painter. They’ll bring their own equipment, tools, and supplies, and get set up before the children arrive at the party or event. They’ll do their own setup and clean up when they’re finished. Your children’s entertainer may work for the whole of your event, or for 30-60 minutes in between other activities.
Clowns & characters
Create a special atmosphere at your next children’s party and make their dreams come true when their favourite characters turn up! A costume character entertainer or clown will do more than just get dressed up - they’ll spend the entire event acting in character to entertain and enchant guests. Characters are also a great way to add fun to your corporate event or even your business promotion!
Magic
No matter how big or small your party or event guests, they’ll love watching a magician perform tricks. Your magician will bring all their equipment and get set up ahead of time, staying in character any time a guest approaches. They’ll do a series of tricks as part of a magic show, which may include disappearing tricks, card tricks, illusions, and more. Many magicians will encourage audience involvement, moving about amongst tables, and requesting volunteers to participate. At the end of the show, they’ll pack everything up, taking care to minimise disruption to the rest of your event.

Paid live comedy audience role
$100
Darlinghurst NSW, Australia
12th Mar 2024
I am a live comedy and social media producer and I need someone who has a very loud laugh and is willing to act in real live comedy crowd. I am filming live comedy (with a real crowd) for social media content and I need someone who is comfortable acting as a "plant" in the audience that can laugh very loudly, which will encourage others to laugh more, which will sound really good for the video. The show is at 8:30pm and will last roughly an hour. If you do this job well, I will have many other gigs like this I can give you at the same rate, if not higher.
Did not complete the task to my expectations

Looking for a face painter for an event. The event is in the CBD. The audience are mostly children, but could be adults too.. why not? We’re looking for designs such as those. Table and seats are provided , we will need the face painter with their equipment.
Jiyana did face painting during our event. She managed to organise crowds of children while she paints. She printed the designs that we agreed on as a menu for the children to choose from.
