I'm sorry to say I was very disappointed and shocked at my 5 year old birthday party. I and the fellow parents found the entertainer quite inappropriate - with adult insinuations of male genitalia with the toy wands one of the more notable ones. Really not appropriate for a 5 years old birthday party. It was as if he was trying to accommodate the adults with a terrible sense of humour and entertain them as well as the children- and he was actually insulting to the one parent who had a shocked face on her due to one of his other tawdry insinuations- singling her out via microphone, asking her well did you pay to come in? Well no, tough ... and further rhetoric. Another parent said to me "he clearly does not want repeat business."
Thankfully, the children didn't pick up on these innuendos and they did have a good time. My concern is what if they had noticed? They picked up on other things said as 'jokes'.
I did complain to the owner who has followed it up and asked other parties if they were happy, and apparently they all are. However, the allegations were denied by him and instead a complaint lodged that one of the children was a 'nuisance''. I can only summarise this was my daughter who literally stood up several times when asked to sit down- not outrageous considering she was excited at her party - I would expect an Entertainer to be prepared for that. She certainly wasn't a nuisance and I'm the first to call my daughter out on naughty behaviour. I'm more infuriated that a serious complaint of inappropriate innuendos was turned around into a complaint on a child at the party. I would video the entire thing it if you book him so you can avoid this concern.
This review is not a critique of the company as a whole as I don't know what the other entertainers are like, but I find it very hard to believe that 20 parents at my daughters party are the first to notice these innuendos. Clearly humour is subjective as was pointed out to me in the reply to my complaint but 20 parents noticing sexual innuendos at a children's party is not subjective. It's fact.
