Charlie the Magical Clown from Portsmouth in Hampshire is one of the most experienced and sought after childrens entertainers on the party circuit today. What makes him so popular is his great sense of humour and his very gentle nature. His clown make up is kept to a minimum, and he is not at all over powering as some clowns can be. That along with his patience with young children is what makes him so in demand with parents and bookers of many schools, playgroups and nurseries across the south. Also being a dad himself helps Charlie to know exactly what makes little ones tick. He is also able to keep up-to-date with all the latest children's trends, films, and characters.
Charlie served his apprenticeship at Butlins holiday centre in Bognor Regis, West Sussex. where he started as an entertainer performing to hundreds of children every night, where he worked his way up to running the whole of the children’s entertainment. Since leaving Butlins Charlie has used the vast knowledge and experience he gained over those years to great success, and has entertained many thousands of children at hundreds of parties and events. He has performed on Television several times, appeared at many prestigious venues for children of many well-known celebrities, and was even chosen to perform in front of the Royal Children on more than one occasion.
Charlie is also a very well respected award winning professional magician, so not only does he perform the hilarious routines that you’d expect from a clown, such as juggling, plate spinning, balloon modelling, holding a flower that droops when he’s not looking, bendy magic wands, funny gags and silly antics, but he also blends this with some very clever magic such as making dozens of bananas appear from nowhere, making things disappear from his bare hands right before the children’s eyes with his sleeves rolled up, creating the illusion of “real magic” that the children (and adults) will be talking about for many years to come. Leaving them spellbound and giving them wonderful memories of their very special, magical day.
Charlie’s shows (whether it’s the 45 minute comedy magic show or the full 2 hour stress free package with music and games) are full of fun, audience participation, laughter, amazement and your child will be made to be the “Star of the show” from the offset. Charlie supplies all the great prizes and giveaways needed in the show and everyone is made to feel a part of the performance and there are lots of opportunities for the children to join in. Charlie always makes sure that no child is ever left out, and gives everyone something plus a full colour glossy souvenir photograph to take home with them, as a keepsake of the special day.
Other than performing at Birthday parties, Weddings, Christenings, Schools, Pre Schools and fetes, Charlie is also a great mix and mingle walk about entertainer, which is ideal if you don’t just want your entertainer to perform static shows. Charlie will mingle amongst your guests making them laugh, performing close up magic, plate spinning, juggling and will also make some amazing balloon models such as aliens, penguins, aeroplanes, motorbikes, Bouquet’s of flowers, the list is endless.
So if you want a stress free party or performance that is full of laughter, happy children and smiling faces guaranteed, then look no further. But don’t take our word for it check out the many testimonials Charlie has received from his very satisfied customers below.

Charlie was fantastic, some children arrived early and he even entertained them and had them laughing as he was setting up. Charlie was very accommodating and the birthday girl was made to feel very special indeed. I’m sure Charlie will be getting a few more bookings from the party, if the many positive comments were anything to go by.

Hello Charlie, You came to Max & Oliver’s party at Byfleet on Saturday. You were amazing, I’m so sorry I didn’t have time to thank you to you on the day, (you know how it is at parties saying goodbye to everyone) I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did to make the boys day so special. Everyone is still talking about it, all the adults were enthralled as well. A thoroughly enjoyable party all thanks to you.

Hi Charlie, Thank you for performing at this years open day at HMS Collingwood. Once again you were a great hit and the children loved the magic and comedy show. I received a lot of positive feedback from the parents. Thank you Charlie, and I hope we can use your services again next year.

We have had Charlie the clown now for many years at our playgroup and have never been disappointed. He is so patient with the little ones and his soft and gentle manner is just what we are looking for, as we have so many children who are probably seeing an entertainer for the first time. I would whole-heartedly recommend him.

Please pass on my thanks to Charlie the clown, he really made my son Sam's birthday a very special one. I really appreciated that Charlie involved Sam's little sister Amy so that she didn't feel left out. Several of the parents commented on their way out how much their children enjoyed the party. It was really great to hear them all laughing so much.
