How much do you charge?

I'm sure you want the best party possible for your child after all, who doesn't want the best fun and memorable party ever?   That's why Mr Giggles offer several unique party packages to fit your specific needs.   For example, different characters including Pirate Pete Parties, Wizzi Wizard Parties, Clown Parties and Magic Shows.   Because each party host has different needs your party entertainment is structured to maximise your fun and take account of any special requests you may have.

Just so we don't recommend a show that isn't right for you (and therefore give a quote that isn't right for you), please have the following information when calling:

             Name of Birthday Child
             Age of child
             Location of Party
             Date and Start Time
             Length of Time of Party
             What Character would you like?
             Would you like us to supply the Birthday Child with a Special Deluxe Present?

We have taken both the worry and risk out of organising children's parties to make your job easy.  Because we perform at many parties each year we know what children like.   You on the other hand know your child much better than we will ever do so between the two of us we are able to develop a unique party experience for your child and his/her friends.

How far do you travel?

Mr Giggles travel throughout Scotland to meet the demand for our children's entertainment services although most parties are held within the Central Belt of Scotland.   Distances out with a twenty mile radius of our home base incur a small additional charge to meet the extra travel costs involved.

So don’t despair if you live further away just be prepared to meet the necessary travel costs. 

Remember we customise our show to fit your needs and fit in with whatever theme you may have in mind.   Yes you’ve guessed it.  We just love to party whether it is a Birthday Party, Wedding, Holy Communion or any other reason you want quality children’s entertainment we want to be there to share in the fun.

How much space do you need?

Having performed many birthday party programs in almost every situation imaginable, we have learned to BE VERY FLEXIBLE!   From one bedroom flats to a formal stage aboard a ship.   Mr Giggles and Friends adapt to all circumstances.

Practical considerations come into play.   For a schools PTA event with say a hundred children you would expect to require a small hall.   For a typical Birthday Party a typical living room setting works just fine but many parents today prefer to hire a hall.  We can help you by recommending a hall near you that would fit in with your needs.

Where can I find party decorations and supplies with a Pirate, Wizard, Circus or Magic theme?

When guests arrive, you want them to know that it's time to party and have fun!   Whenever I see great decorations, I always ask a birthday party mum where she got them.   Most of the time it's  Party Box.   Party Box get lots of rave reviews from birthday party mums and I fully endorse just about anything they produce (piñatas, plates, napkins, cups, decorations, favours, etc.) The quality is good and the price is very reasonable.

Do you do outdoor performances?

Yes indeed - weather permitting.   Did I mention that we are VERY FLEXIBLE?   Speaking from experience, we don't usually recommend outdoor performances.  With children (and adults too), it's important to keep distractions to a minimum.

When outdoors, the sun can shine into guests eyes, it may be overly hot, a cool wind can be pleasant when moving about but can be chilly especially if sitting in the shade.  No one can predict a sudden breeze which blows props off tables or a wasp that takes a fancy to your guests.

Distractions like this can really disrupt the flow of the presentation.  Having said that Mr Giggles and friends are very experienced and know how to work with these kinds of distractions which means that they rarely are a problem.

Moreover, 90% of the time these things never even happen because we plan ahead and guide you in what will work and what may not.  It's up to you whether or not you want to take the chance.  Ask us what ideas we have for working the odds in your favour.

What age groups do you perform for?

Mr Giggles and Friends speciality is entertaining a family audience.   This means any group of children with some adults possibly present as well. Over the last 10 years performing for very different age groups, we have learned how to carefully create different programs and performance styles that are age appropriate.

What entertains a three year-old would not necessarily entertain an eight year old. So while Mr Giggles and Friends regularly entertain children of ages three years through to ten and sometimes at family occasions when all the ages are present, each show is slightly different in order to maximise the fun for his audience.

My child has seen you a number of times before is that a problem?

Our vast range of props and wide experience means that we can perform a number of unique shows so that even if your child has seen us before we can still present a completely different show.  Indeed many of the children that we perform for have seen us before and this is why we have a number of different characters and why we are constantly updating our shows.

How Far in Advance do I have to Book a Party?

Please remember that popular entertainers are in constant demand and therefore to avoid disappointment please book early, especially around festive times such as Christmas and Halloween and at end of school terms. The month of May is also very busy due to First Holy Communion Parties.

Do you require a deposit?

When you schedule your performance we will hold the date for you to allow you time to forward a deposit.   Upon receipt of your deposit we send a confirmation letter showing all the details we have agreed.

In the unlikely event of a misunderstanding this gives us both ample time to rectify matters well in advance of the party day. This is appreciated by parents and by organisers of club parties who are answerable to a committee.

Also included with the agreement letter are party tips and suggestions that parents have found useful to ensuring all eventualities are thought of. This agreement is your assurance that we will arrive and that we will arrive on time.

Why did you become "Disclosure Scotland" Approved?

While I have performed in many schools, nurseries and children's organisations without any Disclosure Approval I believed my applying to be vetted is an additional safeguard which parents, teachers and leaders of organisations can look to when choosing their children's entertainer.

I voluntarily applied to undergo a police check on my character and reputation and my certificate confirms that I am suitable to work with young children.

What else should I ask you?

I understand that busy parents do not organise parties every day and because we organise many hundreds of parties every year we can say with confidence that we know a thing or two about what makes a children's party swing. I also understand children's humour and know what's in and what is out!

I want what you want - your child's party to be special; not only for the birthday child but all the guests as well.  With today's children attending parties almost every week it is difficult for parents to come up with fresh ideas. This is where I can help.

Feel free to discuss any ideas you may have and don't be afraid to ask my advice.  I might not always agree with your idea but I will tell you why it is not practical if that situation arises but most times I can accommodate parents ideas.  After all this is what I am famous for.

We try harder so you have the best children's party possible
