A Childrens Entertainer Prepares:

If Im doing a princess birthday party, I have to make sure Ive lots of pink and purple balloons

. I like the neon ones best as the colours are really bright and other worldly. Also, if its one of the princess parties, Ive to make sure that the balloons are in the purple velvet bag with the balloon pump ready to sling around my waist where I keep the balloons to hand so that Im ready for action at the party. Theres usually not a moment to waste at childrens birthday parties. You can lose the kids attention easily, so all the props have to work smoothly and be in place ready to go.

Then I tune my ukulele, I pick out age and gender appropriate pass the parcel prizes and wrap them up several times in wrapping paper, I wash and disinfect my face painting brushes and sponges, load up my squirty camera with water and pack everything in the boot of my car.

Sometimes Im doing a couple of birthday parties for kids on a Saturday or Sunday. I do princess parties, pirate parties, themed disco type parties and also clown parties. So I have to change my clothes in my car while going from one party to another. I usually feel like wonder woman or whoever it was who used to change in the telephone box. Not that I think Im a super hero! Far from it! Its more the changing in cramped spaces similarity Im referring to. I can change myself from a childrens clown to a princess or a pirate in about 10 minutes.

If Im not available for a party I can pass it on to one of the childrens party entertainers who work with me. We are all actors and have lots of experience being kids party entertainers.

I call myself Silly Sally as it was a name a friend of mine called the first kids clown I used to do on the streets over 10 years ago. And the name just stuck. I like it because it gives me leave to be very very silly and ridiculous.

To contact Silly Sally please call Brid at 087 4117843 to find out about weekday party reductions, recent price cuts, special offers and to book a party. You can check out detailed breakdowns of each party on my website www.sillysally.ie.
