Well, yes it is. Brendan is Billy’s actual name. He originally studied and served an apprenticeship under one of the worlds foremost children's entertainers who in turn acted as an agent for Billy in the early years. To protect his investment in Brendan he licensed the name Billy Bubbles to him to use. By the time Brendan took over the operation the name had become too well known in its own niche to abandon it. And so he continues to perform under this alter ego.

Billy usually set his show up in the living room, typically in front of the window that looks out onto the garden and the children sit on the floor in front of him. When he runs the whole party the living room is used for the entertainment and the dining room or kitchen for the food and birthday cake. Most average sized houses will accommodate up to 25 children and his show in the living room.

While Billy does have a special outdoor show for festivals and family fun days all his birthday shows are always indoors. At birthday parties there are too many distractions and potentially dangerous situations that can arise outdoors. For instance, a bee decides to attack a child half way through the show or a child picks up some grass and throws it...suddenly you have 25 little darlings having the mother of all grass fights. This does not happen at our outdoor festival shows as the children are not well acquainted with each other and do not copy what another child does. Put this together with the potential for a rain shower, sunburn for the children and performer and the many other variables that come with outdoor parties it is easy to see that for your party to be it's most successful it is far better to opt for an indoor event.

Yes absolutely. Do bear in mind however that the acoustics in halls and leisure centres are dreadful and you really do not get the full atmosphere of an intimate home party. Many people hire such venues because they are nervous about having so many children in their homes. Given the way in which Billy runs the entire party for you there is no need to worry about this as he ensures to keep all the children totally engrossed in his show, therefore eliminating boredom and in turn nullifying the risk of guests running amok in you house. This also saves you on room hire costs.

Nothing. Billy is totally self contained and requires nothing more then the area the show will take place in and of course an audience...oh and maybe a cup of coffee.

Each child gets a punch balloon and some arts & crafts items that relate to the show. They also receive a link and password to Billy’s digital downloads page where he teaches on video three amazing magic tricks the children can learn. We do not put food or sweets in our party bags as children usually have plenty of that at a party. If you would like to add some sweets into the bags you can do that on the day.
