Larrikin Puppets Party Entertainment Brisbane And Surrounds – Kids Parties

“Every guest in our backyard had a fantastic time. The show was hilarious, full of energy, and kept the kids completely hooked from start to finish. There were at least six different puppets popping up throughout, so there was always something new to see.
The way the performers got everyone involved was wonderful.”

Larrikin Puppets delivers some of the most vibrant and laugh-out-loud party fun you can find in Brisbane!

A Special Puppet Party for Children and Families

Perfect for children aged 7 and under (plus grown-ups who enjoy a good giggle), this bright and lively theatre-style show is performed by professional puppeteer team Brett Hansen and Elissa Jenkins, both trained by Jim Henson puppeteers from Sesame Street and The Muppets.

Featuring original music, wacky comedy, dancing, and loads of audience involvement, the performance is a whirlwind of fun that will have your party guests talking about it for weeks.

Since 2012, Larrikin Puppets has been delighting audiences across Brisbane, the Moreton Bay Region, the Sunshine Coast and beyond. We are also happy to travel interstate or overseas for birthday parties that deserve something extra special.

Your Puppet Party Package Includes

• 30 minutes of non-stop puppet fun with music, comedy, and interactive moments.
• Two skilled puppeteers bringing a colourful cast of characters to life right before your eyes.
• Post-show meet-and-greet with Troggg and Marina for hugs, photos, and plenty of high-fives.
• Fully equipped setup including a portable puppet theatre and professional sound system.
• Theatre-style experience anywhere – turning your home, backyard, or hired space into a stage full of magic.

Your Own Theatre Show at Home

Our puppet stage measures about 2.5 metres wide, with room behind for the performers and all the puppets. A 4m x 4m space works perfectly (3m x 3m minimum), plus space in front for the audience to sit. The size needed depends on the number of guests. We provide a professional PA system and just need access to power.

From cosy living rooms to spacious halls or backyards, we transform your party area into a lively puppet theatre where the kids cheer and the adults laugh along. Please note, we do not perform in public parks.

Turning Your Party into a Standout Event

We know you want something that stands out from the usual party ideas. Our two-puppeteer performance is a top-tier entertainment option that leaves lasting memories for everyone involved.

Guests are welcome to take photos and share the fun online. All we ask is for adults to keep an eye on the audience during the show so that our puppets and gear stay safe.

Birthday Party Puppet Shows for Ages 7 and Over:

For older kids (Grade 2 and up), we offer a show with even more interaction, clever humour, and engaging activities. This 30-minute performance includes songs, games, comedy sketches, and lively audience participation in the style of Sesame Street and The Muppets. There are extra props and smart skits compared to our younger kids’ show, and we may also include a mini puppetry workshop where guests can try their hand at performing a puppet. We find older kids love getting involved and being part of the action.

After the main show, Brett and Elissa present a 5-minute behind-the-scenes segment showing how the puppets work, inviting volunteers to join in on stage. This is followed by a 5 to 10 minute meet-and-greet with our puppet stars Troggg and friends, which is perfect for photos and selfies. Altogether, the show, demonstration, and meet-and-greet last up to 45 minutes.

Performers: 2

Power requirements: We use a powered PA system with two microphone inputs. A 20-metre cable can reach from the performance space to the nearest outlet inside your home, garage, or shed.

Venues: Suitable for back yards, front yards, garages, lounge rooms, restaurants, halls, clubs, pubs, and play centres with power access. Please note: As most council parks do not provide power, we are unable to perform our ages 7+ show in those locations.
