"The best incursion we have ever had!!! It was beyond expectation! The performance was very busy and exciting and kept everyone well entertained. It was great that the performance moved fluently and didn't linger on one aspect for too long."
Scoresby Primary School
"The puppets were great and they would mingle and interact with the children and the adults. There was loads of laughter from the children and also the older children, being thoroughly engaged throughout the whole show. I would recommend the puppet

Roll up, Roll up! Come and see the hilariously funny puppet show, "Circus In Disarray'! Be captivated by Larry the cheeky dancing Lama and awed by the talents of Ralph the plate spinning dog! Marvel at Vern, the most beautiful bird in the world and be dazzled by the powers of Ikis the crystal charming snake.

See lots of fun puppets performing live circus skills! Amazing characters, bubbles, audience interaction and rogue penguins make this a fantastic show not to be missed!

David has been entertaining crowds for over 15 years and has many years of puppetry experience including working with the "William May Corporation' (Producers of "The Hobbit' and "The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe' etc) on general performances since 2003. David also has performed over 700 children's puppet shows at "Hocus Pocus Puppets" were he was a resident puppeteer for four years.

We were blown away with the performance on Friday, it was so well setup and kicked off our Inquiry perfectly.
