“This show was fantastic! All of the children had so much fun interacting with the puppets and singing along. With lots of smiles and laughter this made for an extra special celebration for all, including Mums and Dads.”
Troggg & Friends is an affordable puppet show featuring 30 minutes of age appropriate songs, games, jokes, skits and comical interaction between the puppets and the audience. The style of puppetry is like The Muppets and Sesame Street.
The show is performed from behind a puppet stage, which is about 2.5 metres wide, and Brett uses about 1.5 metres behind it to lay out the puppets, props, audio equipment, and himself for performing.
Access to power is always nice, but if it’s in a park or somewhere not close to power access Brett has a battery operated speaker to work with as well. Be sure to mention whether power is available or not in your booking enquiry.
This is followed by a 5 minute presentation after the show where Brett comes out and explains how all the puppets work. Then a 5-10 minute meet-and-greet with Troggg the blue monster – the star of the show. Kids (and parents too!) often like to get photos and selfies with him during this time.
You and all the party guests are welcome to take as many photos of the puppets as you like, and share them on Facebook, Instagram, etc. if you wish to. 🙂
Also – just a bit of adult supervision (or crowd control) on the day during the puppet show is always helpful. The adults usually all watch and laugh along as well.
The puppet show, the “how the puppets work” demonstration, and the meet-and-greet and photo session usually all lasts up to 45 minutes in total.
For this puppet show, Brett arrives at the party or venue approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to showtime to set up the puppet theatre, sound equipment, props and puppets ready for the show.
Cost: This solo performance by Brett has a range of costs for birthday parties and childcare centres / kindergartens based on region.
