Our Shows
|
We have performed thousands of shows in our 20-year history. Our
clients include Newcastle Knights (Chris has been Sir Rusty since March 1994), NBN Television, Fox Studios,
Western Suburbs Leagues Club, to name but a few. We also have a
regular corporate function and Christmas show client base, and as far as
private functions go, we have performed at many weddings, milestone
birthdays, christenings and of course, we are children's party
specialists!
We perform a range of characters. The following are a sample of the most popular characters we
perform. Characters can be created for just about any event or theme!

WILLIAM DOODROP
WORLD’S GREATEST JUGGLER
is one of Chris’s more popular characters.
He performs juggling with balls, clubs, cricket bats fire
torches and machetes. He does hat tricks, performs magic, rides and juggles on his
6’ unicycle and interacts with the audience to create a fun
atmosphere. He can
also tie balloon animals which is incredibly popular with young
and old alike. |
|
| BUBBLES
THE CLOWN is one of
my favourite characters. She
is Mr. Doodrop’s side-kick and torments him no end!
Chris and I work together
to compliment each others performances with slap-stick,
partner juggling and adding mood music via the saxophone
throughout the show where appropriate and work off-the-cuff very
effectively together. We
can read each others mind like a book and I usually know what Mr.
Doodrop is going to say before he does- sometimes I even say it
for him! I can also
make balloon sculptures and face paint. |

FAIRYWINKLE Is every child’s dream come true! She has very long wavy waist length
hair, beautiful blue mauve velvet and crystal organza dress with 8 colourful
petticoats. She is adorned with a halo
of flowers, petals and flower trails. She has glittering fairy make-up and
purple glittering shoes…and gossamer wings, of course! Fairywinkle is very enchanting and can make
magic happen. She has an array of magic
tricks, which call for some help form the little fairies in the audience. She has a magical fairy ring that can only
be entered after chanting some special words. She will also read a fairy story
or two and gild the children with fairy dust. Fairywinkle will transform the
children’s faces with paint and then give them a sweet heart-shaped balloon or
a sculpture of their choice. These
include a flower, puppy, mouse, bird and the like. During this time the
children will continue to be captivated with cascades of bubbles from her
‘bubble machine’. |

ARFUR THE JUGGLER is
one of Chris’s more zany characters. He
performs in true commedia tradition using his juggling and improvisational
skills to the full. He is dressed in
full court jester regalia and works tremendously well as an ice-breaker or
later in the evening to spur the celebrations on! He juggles with balls, clubs, fire torches (venue permitting), cricket bats and
machetes. He juggles and rides his high unicycle at the same time and really
gets to know the audience by involving them at every opportunity. He has a keen sense of comedy and wit so
hecklers are a delight to him. He can
also incorporate various details about the celebrators. Whether it be some embarrassing moments from
their past or just some idiosyncrasy of their personality that their friends
and relatives will recognise. This is
not an integral requirement for a successful performance but it can be of great
comic value when performing at a private or corporate function where the audience knows each other.
TUPPENCE is Arfur's female couterpart. She is also costumed in a bright red and yellow matching court jester
outfit and has massive bosoms built in! We perform partner juggling and magic with an abundance of verbal jousts
between the unsuspecting spectators and us. Music can be added. Works well with oodles of colour and movement.

FAT ELVIS is another enormously popular character. He can rove through the
crowd serenading on saxophone or guitar in his pure white and heavily bejewelled jumpsuit. He also dons
authentic-looking Elvis glasses and hair do!
Plenty of humour comes off-the-cuff at the same time as he uses his circus and magic skills as a vehicle for his
comedy. He is truly loved by Novocastrians and beyond. He can be just a little naughty without using offensive
language but he can read the audience like a book and adjusts the risque comedy bits to suit! If you need him for a
family-oriented function he can easily leave out the naughty bits and still have a pile of fun.
PRISCILLA is HUGE! It is the only way to describe her. Everything about her is big! Big giraffe
eyelashes that can cool off any audience with a flutter! Big pert bosoms boast the question - Are they or aren't
they real? Add to this a big sound on the saxophone from an otherwise petite little thing in my glittering
sequined gown. I can partner Fat Elvis in all aspects of the show and can include the famous Zigzag Lady magic
illusion by request.

THE DRUNKEN SANTA has to be seen to be believed! It is very much as ADULTS ONLY performance. If you're having
Christmas in December or July the Drunken Santa will add that extra bit of madness to the season.
He is dressed in the traditional bright red Santa suit with white trim boots and all! He also wears an authentic looking
white beard an hair, bulbous nose and spectacles. Oh, and yes, he also sports a large phallus. There may be innuendo
but no swearing. Chris can read audiences very well. He will know just how far to go without being offensive. On the
other hand, if you want the show a bit more naughty, he can accommodate this as well.
Jovial - Yes! Irreverant - hmmmmm? Great fun - Of course!

BIG FAT BAND and other music
The BIG FAT BAND is our very own backing band featuring FAT ELIVS as the front man. This is our most popular
theme used for Las Vegas or 70's theme nights or where there is no theme at all!
The band members are not only musicians but are actually performers as well. We are all multi-skilled and the members
have remained constant for many years now. We have known and worked with each other since the early 1980s, which makes for masses of
improvisation and on-the-spot gags.
The whole band is dressed in theme to compliment each other, and our repertoire ranges from easy listening dinner music
through to blues, rock and roll and even a sprinkling of comedy originals.
MORE MUSIC You can even combine a floor show with a night of music. Chris has his own Blues Band. As well, he
has a duo, trio, foursome or moresome depending on the size and type of your function. The repertoire consists of a wide
range of styles including blues, rock and roll, middle-of-the-road and even some oldies but goodies!
