Kristen was great! She arrived on time, made a balloon for every kid at our event, and had an awesome attitude. I would use them again and recommend them for anyone who needs their services!

I was not at the event the day of, but handled the planning. Everything went smoothly and I am happy to say everything went off just perfect without me being there. They were very accommodating to my requests and professional. The feedback from those that attended the event said that Slim Chance (Doug) was “great”, and the stilt walking was “very cool” and they “loved” the magic-he caught the attention of the kids and adults. I would definiltey recommend hiring Barrel Full of Monkeys Entertainment and would do so again.

We hired Barrel Full of Monkeys Entertainment for our Carnival themed summer resident event (we are an apartment community). We had a bounce house, carnival games, face painting, and of course these guys! They were on time, professional, and played to everyone so well. The younger group absolutely LOVED them, and they even had the adults chuckling. It was the perfect way to kick off the event, and I would absolutely hire them again!

They captivated and entertained children for over 2 hours at my parents anniversary celebration. Kids and adults had a fabulous time. I highly recommend them.

Barrel Full of Monkeys was very accommodating to our change of venue due to rain. Doug arrived early to get set up and proved to be entertaining to the children aged 13 years old to 12 months. He made very cute balloon animals for all the children. He was professional with the adults also.

The performance was excellent for young kids. My 7 year old loved it. Her younger and older cousins all had a ball. I recommend this for young kids b days. We had bad weather and the performance still went on, right on time. The clown magic show is for 14 and under.

Kristen the Friendly Clown was a wonderful idea.  We discovered Kristen on Craigslist and was happy to have found her during our research online.  Her prices are very competitive and her service was wonderful.  From the moment Kristen came into our house, she captured the attention of all 12 children @ our party.  Kristen twisted balloons and entertained the children in our yard and she was a huge hit amongst the children and parents.  The children loved her balloon making so much that we never had the time to see her juggling act.  Next time!  She was very warm and friendly to the children, and when it was time for Kristen to leave, my son insisted on kissing her good bye.  Thank you Kristen!

I was trying to come up with some way to prevent running wild kids at my annual holiday party.  I looked around for face painting and found Barrel Full of Monkeys Entertainment.  After talking on the phone, they recommended a bubble show and balloons for the age group of our party (1 – 6 year olds).  I had no idea what to expect thinking of bubbles in my living room.  It turned out to be the highlight of the party.  It was so much fun.  Kristen and Slim were an awesome team and kept all the kids engaged with their fun personalities and fancy tricks.  I will definitely have them back again!  Thanks for making  our holiday party extra special for the kids and adults!!!

Just wanted to drop a line to let you know that our children’s program staff at the emergency center brought a group of kids to the circus yesterday and said they had a blast. Apparently one of our kids was part of the performance even! Anyhow – congratulations and thanks again for the invite!

Hi Kristen, the kids were still talking about you yesterday.  Thank you so much, you were a wonderful addition to our event. I passed out your cards to some parents that were inquiring.
Thanks again!  And we’ll see you at our next kids party.

Dear Ms. Christine,

Thank you for putting up such a wonderful show. You’re the best Bubble Lady! We had so much fun by just watching :)

The Bubble Lady is Awesome!
Thought you might want to know about our bubble event today. It went very well. Your bubble lady Kristen is awesome. She had to drive all the way from Berkeley, in the rain. She was well prepared with her colorful make-ups, costome, all the fun toys to play bubble with and funny jokes. She is very professional. We’ve only got 15/16 kids including some younger siblings. I liked small group myself, so everyone had their chances to try the bubbles – even twice. Our kids told her thank you by the end and one of them even said “fly safely back to the bubble land”.
It was a fun activity for us. I really appreciate all your help to make this happen.

Our son is way into lizards & snakes and he loved the Lizard of Odds and Ends Circus Show! He told me he liked the lion the best, but the witch made a big impression on him too because he told me about her 2 or 3 times. so i think he liked the lion and the witch! jack said you all were awesome too. thanx again for the invite, we love you guys.
