Chatterbox Entertainment: Full of Character
The services provided are unique to every occasion and therefore tailored to suit the age ranges, venue and people who are involved in your event. Although we cater for children's parties and love to be a part of the little ones smiles, when we say for ALL ages, we mean it. We want to help adults fulfil their childlike dreams too, in a sassy, fun and often boisterous way. Because adults deserve to indulge too. With years of comedy and improvisation experience, below is the characters and services currently on offer.
Enhanced DBS checked on update service and Public Liability Insuranced.
The Classics
Every occasion is the most wonderful time of the year.
Your seasonal favourites are never basic in this place. Your Easter Bunny with a twist. Your Halloween cretins. The sassy Mrs C and Jellybean the Elf. Full of innocence for the Children or raise an eyebrow for the Adults. Every character is cultivated to be of the highest calibre. Every experience is unique. And every age deserves the best.
The Villains
Why should the Princess have the glory, when being bad is much more fun.
As we all know, sometimes the villain is what can make the whole piece work. From our Seawitch to a Queen with a penchant for red, we offer you a small range at this time, but believe us when we say - the bad guys always win in the Chatterbox world and there will be more villainy to come.
The Host
In need of a force of nature who can command a room, just by walking in it?
You've come to the right place. We have hosted for five, we have hosted for a thousand, from tiny tots to our esteemed elders. Bespoke and adaptable, we work with our clients, to achieve their goals. We will dress to match the occasion or maybe you will choose a character to join you?
