California Kids Fun Puppet and Magic Shows

Mommies & Daddies Listen Here!!! HAPPY BRIGHT KIDS ARE THE BEST! In this crazy new virtual world planning my daughter's first birthday was very tough. I searched all over town & online to find entertainment to make my daughter's birthday special. We found Happy Bright Kids online and couldn't believe their terrific pricing and fun offerings. They also had excellent reviews (I really rely on reviews when picking a new vendor for the first time). We are so grateful for Joe & Happy Bright Kids. They were TERRIFIC - and both the kids AND adults were thoroughly entertained for 30 full minutes. JUNGLE JOE, his crocodile, bird & monkey were all HILARIOUS. Joe is a talented ventriloquist.. I mean wow you just have to see this for yourself!They offer to record the entire zoom party for you and at the end surprised me with a nicely edited video of the event for me to keep and even share with the family & friends who missed the event. Several mommies asked for the contact and intend to use Happy Bright Kids for their upcoming parties as well. I am really impressed by this company & plan to use them in the future. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH!!!

We booked Jungle Joe for a virtual show for my son's 6th birthday and it was EVERYTHING we could hope for in these strange socially-distanced times! Joe made it really easy to book and setup the time, and love the fact that I could invite as many kids as my son wanted (100 callers maximum made it easy to not worry who could come). Jungle Joe KILLED it - he left the kids unmuted so you could hear their oodles of laughter, but had command of the "room" so that it never felt chaotic or out of control. It was amazing to see both my son laughing so hard that he was doubled-over, and to look at the gallery view of the kids just in stitches. The humor is slapstick-y and good-natured - perfect for the 5-7 year-old set. The ventriloquism made the puppets come to life, and the magic was easy to follow-along. He also made it interactive - calling on the birthday boy, inviting kids to shout-out answers, so you didn't just feel like it was passive "screen time". Multiple parents told me afterwards that "I have never seen my kid laugh so hard" and kids themselves even told us how much they loved Jungle Joe and thought he was so good. It's so lovely for these kids to have a moment of levity (virtually!) in these dark times that was so genuine. We asked for a custom 45-minute show, for $145 - I totally felt it was worth it since the time flew by and the kids were having so much fun. We also got to stay in the virtual room after to say our goodbyes to friends. Would totally book Happy Bright Kids in a heartbeat in the future! You won't regret it.

I absolutely LOVE HBD. I cannot say enough good things about this company. This is the second year that I hired Bashir for our Eid party and he did not disappoint. His puppet show is so entertaining that the adults in our party stopped their socializing and gathering around the kids to watch. He is engaging and humorous and his way with the puppets really pulls young and old into the act. His cost is definitely reasonable and he is prompt and on time. My guests told me they had never seen their kids laugh so hard and that to me illustrates a successful act. I've seen other entertainment shows at parties and so far, no one else has come close to this show. You will not be disappointed.

It was such a pleasure having Joe entertain 30 kids (and 40 adults) at my son's 2nd birthday at CuriOdyssey in San Mateo. We hired Happy Bright Kids to do a puppet show with a Jungle Theme. Not only did he keep everyone engaged for an hour, the kids were excited to participate. Joe was very easy to work with; setting up his equipment fast and without any trouble. He was professional and punctual and his puppets were very high end. My nieces and nephews were still raving about the show afterwards.

The kids had a great time! The show was very funny and interestingI was worried since i had 40 kids but it was perfect! They were fascinated the whole hour and laughing a lotThank you Joe!

Jungle Joe was a HUGE hit at our 5 year old's birthday party. I am still receiving texts from friends days later that their kiddos are still repeating the jokes that they heard (and laughing delightedly). Thanks Jungle Joe!

My child and I watched Jungle Joe's puppet/magic comedy at an event and loved it. So I invited him to perform at my child's birthday party. It was worth every penny! All the kids ranging from 3 to 7 year olds LOVED it. The kids laughed so much and sat through the entire show. The show was entertaining and interactive. Jungle Joe was responsive during the booking process, showed up on time, and surely made the birthday kid feel special extra special. After the show, several parents asked me for his contact info. One of the guest children loved it so much that she kept asking her mom why wasn't Jungle Joe at her birthday party, lol.

Jungle Joe did a wonderful job in making my daughter and son's party a memorable and fun one, no dull moments, I highly recommend him!

If I could, I would give Jungle Joe 10 stars. I did a lot of research and reached out to quite a number of performers to put on a puppet show for the joint fourth birthday party my daughter had with another child. Jungle Joe's price point was excellent for what you get in comparison, and based on his reviews here, I decided to book him. From the beginning, he lived up to every rave review. He was quick to reply, thoughtful, and caring in our communications. He made the planning process so easy. As for the event itself, it was held in a public playground and his set-up was very straightforward and something he handled entirely on his own. And the performance- he couldn't have done a more incredible job! The party was nearly a month ago, and the children who attended are STILL talking about him! He gets the humor of four-year-olds perfectly, and the kids were literally falling over with laughter. In fact, the grown-ups didn't really watch the performance because they were so delighted watching their children have some of the biggest laughs of their lives. Not only was the performance outstanding, but Jungle Joe managed the young crowd flawlessly. Several times, an audience member would get so excited that he or she would rush up, or jump up when it was another child's time to interact with a puppet. Each time, Jungle Joe didn't miss a beat and very kindly  but firmly got the child to sit down so that there would be no disruption to the show. I was also blown away by Jungle Joe's sensitivity and ability to read different children's needs. My daughter was very eager to participate in the show, but the other birthday child was very shy and strongly preferred staying in the audience. Jungle Joe figured that out immediately, and both birthday children got the treatment that made them feel the most comfortable and celebrated. Afterward, the children were overjoyed with the show nearly all the adults asked me where I found Jungle Joe! You should definitely book him for your event- it's one of the best choices I have made when planning any event!

Joe did a puppet show performance at our four-year-old's birthday party, and it was spectacular! We had an age group from 3-9 years old and all the kids enjoyed the show, so much laughter all around! The birthday boy had the time of his life and was talking about the show for days after! Joe was engaging, funny, and kind and our son felt totally at ease interacting with him and the puppets! We had many people come up to us in the park and ask for Joe's details, so great impression all around! When I was organizing the show with Elaine from Confetti Cup, she was warm and so accommodating! I would highly recommend these amazing entertainers! Thank you, Joe and Confetti Cup!
