Arctic Explorers

These Arctic Explorers are still trying to claim unknown territory for the Empire. It could be a car park, shopping mall or street. Be assured there will be challenges on the way, with benches to scale, flags to plant and patriotic tunes to hum. From Strangelings

Strangelings can also be found in; Walkabout

 

 

Balloonatic Elves

Led by Michal Kahn, a very creative and exciting balloon modeller, the Balloonatic elves are perfect for any occasion.

 

 

Bernie Bennet

As if poor Santa hasn’t enough on his shoulders. He now has a cheeky elf as well to bear. Very funny stilt act with juggling, music, magic and balloons.
Santa incorporates a small sound system so that the pair can carry on a lively banter.

 

 

Bernie Bennet can also be found in; Shows and Walkabout

 

 

Bjorn the The Polar Bear and his herder Ursula, from Los Kaos. 

Bjorn is a fully animated pod puppet. A highly skilled performer is inside operating all the movements including the facial animations - blinking eyes, sniffing nose, opening mouth and also live polar bear sounds.

 

 

Los Kaos can also be found in; Walkabout

 

 

Bruce Airhead

Bruce, clad only in shorts, inflates a six foot balloon, into which he disappears bit by bit. Once inside he dances, protruding hands and feet. 
Then comes the climax. To a countdown the act ends with the bursting of the balloon, to reveal Bruce fully dressed – as Santa Claus!

Bruce Airhead can also be found in; Shows & Cabaret

 

 

Firefly

Stiltwalkers with themed costumes. ‘Star and Moon’ capture the feel of a frosty night in the deep midwinter.

 

 

Fred

Fred, The Christmas Tree, stands 8ft high and looks like a normal Christmas tree until he starts moving by himself, chatting with spectators and playing his own Christmas carols! Fred is brought to you by the Bureau of Silly Ideas

Gliding Santa

Santa with a difference, from Bob & Bob Jobbins. This one glides about on his throne giving hearty cheer, seasons greetings and mince pies to those that he passes.
