AS SEEN ON AMERICA'S GOT TALENT!! Liven up your next event! Since 1988, "Edutainer" Jungle John® has been delighting audiences ages 1-100 with his reptile shows. Meet "Wally Gator," a 5-1/2 foot American alligator, "Larry Boa," a 10-foot boa constrictor, and over a dozen other reptiles & amphibians. Educational & fun! He has been seen a state fairs, first nights, and more! Jungle John® is a two-time Guinness World Record Holder, and has appeared on the "Guinness World Records: Primetime", "Ripley's Believe It Or Not!" and – most recently "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT!" television shows. We also offer incredible balloon twisting, a "Man Eating Balloon Show", and other specialty shows which are described on our website. Available for private parties, birthdays, corporate events, trade shows, libraries, schools, day care facilities, and everything in between. Licensed and insured. I have been known as "Jungle John®" for the past 26+ years. I consider myself an "Edutainer." After receiving my degree in Zoo keeping from Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida in 1982, I became the supervisor of the Brandywine Zoo in Wilmington, Delaware. I was there for 6+ years; in addition to my animal care and supervisory responsibilities, I also did animal shows with their "Traveling Zoo" program. In 1988 I left to begin my own business: Jungle John® Entertainment. Since 1988 I've entertained audiences ages 1-100 with my fun and educational reptile shows. Always with me is "Wally Gator," a 5-1/2 foot American alligator, and "Larry Boa," a 10-foot boa constrictor, in addition to over a dozen other reptile and amphibian friends (and a few from the insect world as well – nothing dangerous or poisonous). My shows include interesting facts and stories that are presented with a fun and entertaining style. I perform over 500 shows a year and have been seen at the Grand Opera House, the Museums of Natural History in Delaware and Philadelphia, the Governor's mansion, and many other venues. I'm a featured attraction at "First Night" festivities in many states, including Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia. I am also a two-time Guinness World Record Holder, and have been seen on many local and National TV shows including "Guinness World Records: Primetime", "Ripley's Believe It Or Not!" and, in June of 2014, "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT!" I perform for corporate events, trade shows, day care facilities, birthday parties, schools, libraries, retirement and nursing homes, and everything in between. I am also available for movie, television and print ad work. In addition to the reptile shows, I am also a very accomplished and award-winning balloon artist. I do balloon twisting at different restaurants 3-4 nights per week. I also have several other shows that I perform, the most popular being my "Man Eating Balloon Show." The finale of that show involves me climbing inside of a giant 6-foot round balloon that I blow up with a leaf blower. I also perform comedy magic and have quite a few shows that have been tailored for specific events (i.e., a Halloween Safety Show that I do for daycares). One of my specialties is being able to customize the entertainment for the event. I can also work as an "event planner" as we have done many times over the past 26 years. We can provide face painters, balloon twisters, stilt walkers, magicians, caricaturists, etc. for any event. I am a full-time entertainer. I will always get back to you promptly, have never missed a "gig", and no one has ever been harmed in any way at any of my shows. References are available upon request. I am licensed and insured. Thank you!

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on January 8, 2018From West Chester, PA

We had a wonderful experience with Jungle John, the kids especially liked the alligator and big snake. He had 4 and 5 year olds quietly sitting and listening for 45 minutes, and that is no easy task! He interacted well with the kids and knew just what to teach them about each animal to maintain their interest. Both my 5 year old and 9 year old are already talking about when Jungle John come next year. Perfect for a winter birthday party!
