A few frequently asked questions (and their frequently answered answers).

Are you a clown?
That depends on your definition of ‘clown’. I don’t wear a big red nose or face paint, I wear the costume of a jester. It is more fairy-tale than medieval. But my performances are fun and playful whilst creating a wonderful time for all to enjoy, so maybe I am a clown. You can decide.

Are you always a jester?

For medieval events I wear traditional 14th century jester’s garb and perform historically accurate skills.
History buffs might notice that the shoes in this photo are not authentic medieval century shoes. I have since replaced these with a copy of a pair of poulaines (pointy shoes) in the collection of the British Museum.

At Christmas time I often holiday perform themed shows as an elf.

And for very young or very shy children I even perform as myself.

What ages do you perform for?
I specialize in entertainment for children between the ages of 4 to 9 years old. If an audience is outside this age group then I change the style and content of my show to suit the age of the children.

Can you perform for special needs children?
A major part of my work has been with children in hospitals. This includes not only sick children, but also children with developmental delays and special needs. I change my performance style to suit each audience, keeping in mind that children with special needs often respond in their own unique way.

Where do you perform?
I live in a seaside suburb on the north-side of Brisbane, but I perform almost anywhere. I have performed for audiences of 10 children at backyard birthday parties, and on stage for audiences of more than 2000 people at international children’s festivals. I have done live shows all over Australia, from big cities to the remote Australian outback and have performed on television and in movies. From time to time I’ve traveled to far away places including Norfolk Island, the Middle East, South East Asia, France, The Netherlands, England, Scotland and even Tasmania.

How much do you charge?
This depends on the type of performance, the duration of the show and the location of the venue. Contact me with the details of your event and I will be happy to give you a written quote.
