This company knows no barriers when it comes to creating imaginative, captivating mobile performances. A wondrous array of mythical characters, playful puppetry, eye catching stilts and hugely entertaining story telling. Powerful performances include the eccentric Ice King, the enigmatic Ringmaster, the crazy roller-skating Gondolier and the spell binding silence of the Travelling Obo and Bramble Pixie. Reviews from Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011

"Paul Currie, a surreal, visual comic. There was something extra original about this guy – it was like watching the Monty Python version of stand up comedy." Fringe Guru 5* review

“Next up is Paul Currie, a man who can only be described as what would happen if Tim Burton created Mr Bean." Informed Edinburgh

"Paul Currie mesmerised the audience. His strength of mime provoked deep pathos and yet immense laughter. As he meandered through a series of sultry situations, he charmed the audience through the bizarre, but most successfully through the truly understandable misery that his characters presented. Currie makes sadists of us all, as never has watching another’s turmoil been such fun." New Current 5* review

A living statue, that interacts and entertains by the smallest gesture, the tip of his hat or the wink of an eye. A simple wave can have people smiling and giggling. “The Gent” will act and react with any audience, be it a street filled with families and busy shoppers, to any type of formal function or corporate event. The authentic looking oxidised bronze statue will bring any crowd to a standstill. His silence and gentle comedy is infectious, to all ages.

The ancient Grandmaster storyteller walks the land in search of stories to tell and tales to listen to. This 700 year old stands at a grand 7 foot. His eccentric tales of adventure will have families and children of all ages in stitches, as he stumbles and bumbles his way through classic fairytales. The puppet is a completely original design and hand made by the puppeteer, who is Jim Henson trained, to the highest quality. Perfect for parades or family pageants.

The Obo's have been walking the great lands since the dawn of time. Similar to Gnomes or Hobbits they are small in stature yet large in heart. Jim Henson trained puppeteer

Tilda Tigerbalm is a great crowd puller and stirs the public’s curiosity; she is a completely original design. Tilda walks the streets chatting and interacting with the general public asking the most surreal and inappropriate questions. A gentle pensioner, she can banter with the children, gossip with the adults, chat with the animals and charm the plants.

Tilda is a "Half Body" manipulated puppet, and is a unique style of puppetry. The puppeteer is fully visible to the audience/ public but, by utilizing years of manipulation and movement skills, the puppeteer can leave the audience drawn to the puppet and not the puppeteer. This style and technique of puppetry is often seen in Puppetry Theatres around Europe but rarely is it seen on the streets, especially in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Paul Currie is a Belfast puppeteer and puppet builder, street performer and clown, with over 15 years puppetry experience. He is also a Jim Henson Muppeteer (Potto on Cbeebies - Sesame Tree).

A hilarious and very surreal family favourite. Gather round and hear the words of wisdom given by the Head Lecturer in Crowology at Sheaffield University, Prof John Davenport, as he teaches the Kids and the Adults what being a scarecrow is all about. A walkabout that always has the entire family and the crows rolling in the fields, as Davenport "Professional Scarecrow" tries to recruit new students and help expand the public mind as to the importance scarecrows play in maintaining the worlds economy. A very silly character played in a very serious straight fashion, Davenport will bring smiles to any seasonal event. Ideal for autumn or summer events.

Hear of tales from the meadow

Hob-nob with Berty Bounder, the Victorian Gent, a cheerful chap perfect for adding charm to any event.

A bonny big lad, standing at 9 feet high, The Big Yin looks and sounds spookily like a certain Scottish comedian!? With his frizzy ginger locks and beard he can keep a crowd entertained with his raw Caledonian banter. In his trademark ruffles and tartan troosers, he is perfect for any seasonal event, especially Hogmanay.

The great Hollywood director Barnum T Firefly is on a street near you and ready for ACTION!!

He double checks the list that Santa has made every year... going through everyone that he meets and checking their name for a second time for the Big Guy. He checks everyone from parents to kids to pensioners and traffic wardens and police... no one goes unchecked when Toby is Head List Check-er Off-er, and not everyone is on the "G" list!!. So you better watch out!! A loud excitable, over sized Elf, Toby knows Santa personally and is ready to divulge his Santa anecdotes if you stand still for long enough, and even if you don't he will follow behind you telling them anyway. A very rosy, jolly, excitable Christmas walkabout character, perfect for ANY Christmas holiday event, big or small.

The chill of winter will soon disappear, with the majestic presence of the heart-warming king of cool. A hilarious character with many tales to tell and a breathtaking costume, standing at nearly 12 feet (with icy crown) and dressed in shimmering white. The Ice King is a wonderful interactive character for both children and adults. Perfect for Christmas and autumnal/winter pageants.

A short-sighted “ticket everything but the traffic” warden, he tickets trees, bins, prams bus stops and even buildings (especially fast food restaurants) for obstructions and crimes against architecture in the streets of all major cities and towns. If it stays long enough, it’s busted.

Some serious nautical nonsense with the legendary salted sea dog Captain Ramsey. He tells tales of the high sea and sings shantys in the low "F" (thats as good as it gets folks). Can be stilts or ground based.

Dante Palento is far from Venice! This crazy Italian is the world’s only Roller Skating Gondolier. He can (almost) glide through shopping malls, on his Mama’s old skates

"And lo did King Arthur and his trusted servant Patsy doth gallop their way across hill and dale to find fellow knights to recruit in their quest for the Holy Mug. And yay this be a classic walkabout . Armed with the sacred coconuts Patsy follows the Legendary King of the Britains on their quest, finding and testing young and old knights with silly questions and silly tasks to test their silly skills to become silly knights of the round table at (you guessed it) Silly Camelot. And yay they did useth all types of tricks to have fun with the natives. Testing for witches and rescuing maidens in distress. And the costumes they woreth being hand made and a perfect replica of those worn in the original film." Amen This beautifully simple walkabout is perfect for any street, medieval or family event. A hilarious walkabout for those who know the film and even more surreal for those who don't. Now "runaway!”

Double (or Solo) waiter clown act. Brothers Sean and Seamus Hack from County Kelp Catering Co are a must have at any glittering Ball or Corporate function. With their very unique and famous brand of outdoor catering and waitering, the Hack Family provide the finest in mouth watering cuisine. Everything is fresh from a can or fridge. Selections of various tinned animal parts, and the finest spread of plastic wrapped yellow world cheeses. They have a fridge stocked with the best dry white cider and monastic tonic wines known to man (and beast). And for the desert they order in the most delicious hand picked sweets, chosen personally by the Hack brothers from the local Co Kelp garage store that very day. The CKCC is a hilarious and obnoxious walkabout act that will bring belly laughs to any large formal function. The bigger and more lavish the event the more out of place and hilarious these waiters are.

This is death warmed up in the true sense. Towering over his public at a spine-chilling 10 feet tall, with giant sickle, “Death” will have you crying…with laughter, as he tells his many tales of failed attempts at drama school and how he was picked on at Reaper college. This hand made costume is completely mesmerising, with its black faceless hood, and spooky skeleton hands. Watch as people stop dead in their tracks as his long bony finger picks out his next victim who will have to listen to his tales of woe and gossip from the afterlife. Families warm to this especially the younger children. Perfect for pageants, carnival and Halloween events.

She may be lovely in name but Tulip is far from this in looks. She is famous the world over as the tallest of all witches (10 feet), and has a very distinctive 3 feet tall hat. Her manners are terrible, she has a voice like a foghorn, and she loves teasing people, and trying to recruit children as junior witches and warlocks. Despite all these faults the public still loves her, and laughter and screams are never far away from Miss Ginderhorn.
