The Bubble Show is great fun! Everyone loves bubbles, their rainbow colors and the way the float through the air. We make long bubbles, big bubbles, and little tiny bubbles. Every child will go inside of a giant bubble! The bubble show is very interactive with many chances for the children to make different bubbles themselves. The bubble show is 60 minutes and includes juggling. We bring plenty of tarps to make the bubble show great fun on rainy days. Choose from friendly clown or fairy costume.

Invite a fun costumed entertainer for balloon sculpting service. Children and adults alike will be entertained while colorful balloons are twisted before their eyes. Adorable balloon animals, crazy hats, butterfly wings, beautiful flowers, twisty swords, jet planes, decorations and more! Choose from friendly clown, fairy, or pirate costume.

We also offer sparkle face painting and glitter tattoo with a fun costumed entertainer. Children and adults alike will be transformed into fairies, princess, superheros, and more with creative one of a kind artistry. We use professional face paint and come equipped with glitter and rhinestones. Choose from friendly clown, fairy, or pirate costume.

A Stilt-walker is a great addition to any party. Adults and children alike are amazed by stilt-walkers. A variety of costumes available including clown, unicorn, bird, ring master, suit and tie, angel, fairy, plain clothes, and more. Can be combined with any other service.

We specialize in cirque entertainment for corporate events, private parties, galas and fundraisers. As the holiday season nears, consider a cirque performer to amaze your guests. We have stilt-walkers, clowns, jugglers, acrobats, aerialists, unicyclists, balloon artists, face-painters, and more. Available for meet and greet, ambiance, or individual acts. We have many costumes to choose from to suit your theme or color scheme.

Our Circus workshops are fantastic fun for all ages. All we need is a large cleared space, we bring the rest. The goal of our workshops are for every person to be a winner. Learning a new circus skill not only boosts confidence, it also improves balance, hand-eye co-ordination, dexterity, and encourages team building and sharing.
Our workshops teach basic circus skills such as juggling, unicycling, clown, stilt-walking, rolla bolla, object balance and basic gymnastics. Other skills available upon request. An after workshop performance can also be created.
We also teach workshops for adults. Turn co-workers into a team and neighbors into a community with a juggling seminar. Juggling is an accessible skill for all ages and abilities that improves co-ordination and focus. Our juggling seminars focus on a team work approach to juggling, making a more effective and creative team.

* "Kristen the Friendly Clown was a wonderful idea. 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 at 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!" * (Kim, Santa Clara)

* "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!!!" (Teah, Walnut Creek, CA)

* "You guys were so flexible and friendly loved it!!! Over all lot of fun! Wish to work with you again in future and will recommend you to all my friends. All the best" (Sneha, Santa Clara, CA)

* "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." (Antonette, Union City , CA)

* "Dear Ms. Christine, Thankyou for putting up such a wonderful show. You're the best Bubble Lady! We had so much fun by just watching." (Altamont Creek GATE Committee)

* "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, costume, 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." (Lisa, Livermore, CA)

* "Wonderful show! Thank you!" (Stephen, Berkeley, CA)

• Love that they were able accommodate my request with only 2 days notice! -- Erna D, Oakland, CA, 1/29/2012
• 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 only negative thing i can think of is that this show is for strictly for 14 and under. the older kids 16 and up would prefer more magic. -- Carlos M, Pittsburg, CA, 3/24/2012
• Barrel Full of Monkeys was very accommodating to our change of venue due to rain. He 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. -- Nancy A, Mountain View, CA, 3/31/2012
