Mr Banana Head

Goodbye, and welcome to the ever so slightly bonkers world of Mr Banana Head, the ridiculously silly and occasionally odd children’s entertainer.

My parties and shows have a mixture of Mango the Monkey, very silly and average magic, games, music, dancing and bubbles, all complete with gibbon-like behaviour throughout.

I dance like a confused baboon and sing like a juggling gazelle. It’s not clever, it’s not pretty, but the children might laugh so much their heads fall off. Please note this is not guaranteed so you don’t need to worry unduly.

100% recommend. Fantastic entertainer! I explained that my little one could be quite shy and withdrawn in front of strangers (we went to a friends party the week before his and he spent 1.5 hours sitting at my feet rather than joining in). With this in mind Mr Banana Head engaged my son absolutely perfectly from the 1st minute. The kids adored him and he kept all their attention. He used my partner in one of the tricks and all of the parents watching were in hysterics. Would recommend without hesitation and will be booking Mr Banana Head again for next year!

I just wanted to thank you for my daughters 5th birthday party. You were absolutely fabulous. The children loved the act and the parental involvement made it especially funny for them. As a parent it was the easiest 2 hours for me as you kept them entertained for the whole time and even the parents enjoyed it and were laughing- so any of them came up to me at the end to say how much they had enjoyed it and ask for the contact! Overall a brilliant, professional and very funny party! Thank you!

Fantastic entertainer! This is the 2nd party that we’ve used Mr Banana Head for and he didn’t disappoint… His magic, tricks and humour entertained 30+ children and the grown ups too! My (shy) daughter absolutely loves him and Mango and I would definitely recommend Him to anyone.

“MR BANANA ROCKS – GREAT ENTERTAINER – Kept 35 kids thoroughly entertained the whole time. My advice would be, just book Mr Banana Head, yes it’s a bit pricey but worth every penny!! We had so many parents and KIDS say how much they enjoyed themselves! KIDS don’t lie! He made our daughter’s 5^th birthday party a very special and memorable day. I was slightly worried that his entertainment might be more pitched towards a boy crowd, but they all loved him! He knows exactly what his is doing, very professional and had all the right kit to deliver as well as his talents!

Mr Banana Head, thanks so much for a brilliant day today AND all your efforts to get to know Zari and research her likes before getting here. All our friends thought you were brilliant and we absolutely loved all that you did. You made the children feel comfortable, excited and most importantly you made them laugh. I think the fact they were holding your leg at the end not wanting you to leave says everything! Thanks again, we loved it.

Dear Mr Banana Head, thank you for a fantastic party on Saturday – Evie was buzzing all evening! I really appreciated how you took the time to chat with both of the girls and also how you tailored things to suit them. We’re still not quite sure how you manage to hold the attention of 35 5 year olds for all that time and to have them quiet as mice one minute and shouting their heads off the next! Lots of Mums and Dads have told us how enjoyable the party was and how good they thought you were so it’s a big thumbs up from the grown ups too!

Brilliant entertainer – 100% recommend! We had Mr Banana Head for my son’s 4th birthday and all of the kids and the adults thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment, which is no mean feat! My son can’t stop talking about his party, and he has put the card and certificate given to him by Mr Banana Head in pride of place in his bedroom. Mr Banana Head was reliable, came on time and set up and tidied up with no fuss at all. I would most definitely use Mr Banana Head again for a future party.

breaking and exciting news

As I’m so generous, kind and a bit hairy, the birthday boy / girl / Panda at all my birthday parties now receives a beautiful card and present. You can choose a bubble gun or a Beanie Boo monkey called Coconut. Please note this unfathomable gesture of loveliness is in no way a sneaky way to curry favour and bribe children so they want me for their parties.

I’d like to tell you about my greatest achievement since I ate seven Filet-O-Fish burgers and three apple pies at Jason Portman’s McDonalds birthday party in 1979. I was named runner-up for the East of England in the Netmums awards to find your favourite children’s entertainer. I haven’t let this go to my head but I do now require a dressing room at all parties complete with dancing baboons.

A while ago before electricity, America and Kate Bush were discovered, I was crowned the Watford Association of Magicians Children’s Entertainer of the Year. I was then invited along to the Blackpool Magic Convention where I competed along with five others for the title of UK Children’s Entertainer of the Year. You can read a lovely article about the win and see me grinning like a slightly confused hyena here.

I’d like to recommend one of my favourite films that you can watch together with your children any day of the week. It’s called Goodfellas and includes a stunning Oscar winning turn from Joe Pesci. Due to it being extremely sweary, violent and altogether inappropriate for anyone under 18, any of your children under this age must be fast asleep when you watch it together.
