Sam is the BEST entertainer I have ever hired. I did not just want to say children's entertainer because kids & parents alike LOVED the show! He engaged the audience, kept us laughing, and we felt so comfortable with his engaging with the kids. We felt 2 hours was not enough because it was so good! It flew by fast! We plan to hire him regularly for future birthdays! It is so worth every penny! Especially with all the smiles he got including my 1yr old Grandson who's Circus Themed Birthday this was for! A million thank you for your show & all you do!

We booked California Kids Magic and puppet show for our 5 year olds Birthday. It was a major hit. We had 20+ 5 Kindergartners, they all loved it. Sam was just so engaging and funny. Kept it very interactive. It was just a fantastic show. Highly recommended

We had such a fun birthday party thanks to Jungle Joe! My daughter and all her friends were laughing so hard. California Kids Fun made everything easy! Highly recommended.

Jungle Joe did an awesome job for our Sunday school class at church this past weekend! We had ages ranging from 2yrs to 12 yrs old and the kids laughed the whole time and were very engaged. I was so impressed by how well he connected with his audience and his puppet and ventriloquist skills....SO GOOD!!! I would highly recommend him to anyone for any event and will most likely use him again in the future! Thank you for also the behind-the-scenes great customer service experience as the communication was great and planning, logistics, follow up, etc. were flawless!

We hired them for our daughter’s 3rd birthday and Sam was a hit! The kids and parents all loved the show. He made sure every child got a turn to participate and didn’t leave until everyone had a balloon. Sam was so patient and managed to keep 20+ kids entertained for hours. Would definitely hire again!

Jungle Joe exceeded expectations. Our first time hiring a performer we were unsure of what to expect…Jungle Joe was kind and patient, wonderful with children and happy to include everyone. Our 4 year old laughed throughout the performance and spent the entire evening performing his own version of the show. Thank you Joe!

My child and I watched Jungle Joe’s puppet/magic comedy at an event and loved it. So I invited him to perform at my child’s birthday party. It was worth every penny! All the kids ranging from 3 to 8 year olds LOVED it. The kids laughed so much and sat through the entire show. Jungle Joe was responsive during the booking process, showed up on time, and surely made the birthday kid feel special extra special. After the show, several parents asked me for his contact info. One of the guest children loved it so much that she kept asking her mom why wasn’t Jungle Joe at her birthday party.

What a show! 20(ish) 7-year-olds and their parents were completely engaged and entertained for the entire performance. Jungle Joe delivers! He’s an absolute pro from start to finish.

We have booked a just a day before our son's first birthday. Booking process was simple. Joe was on time and was flexible to start the balloon twisting as guests start arriving. Kids loved having individual swords balloons, bracelet type and much more. The moment joe startd puppet show, he was able to get kids alignd in a row with much ease. Kids were so engaged that parents loved watching them enjoy. Many personally asked joe's contact. It made our day.

If I could, I would give Jungle Joe 10 stars. I did a lot of research and reached out to quite a number of performers to put on a puppet show for the joint fourth birthday party my daughter had with another child. Jungle Joe's price point was excellent for what you get in comparison, and based on his reviews here, I decided to book him. From the beginning, he lived up to every rave review. He was quick to reply, thoughtful, and caring in our communications. He made the planning process so easy. As for the event itself, it was held in a public playground and his set-up was very straightforward and something he handled entirely on his own. And the performance- he couldn't have done a more incredible job! The party was nearly a month ago, and the children who attended are STILL talking about him! He gets the humor of four-year-olds perfectly, and the kids were literally falling over with laughter. In fact, the grown-ups didn't really watch the performance because they were so delighted watching their children have some of the biggest laughs of their lives. Not only was the performance outstanding, but Jungle Joe managed the young crowd flawlessly. Several times, an audience member would get so excited that he or she would rush up, or jump up when it was another child's time to interact with a puppet. Each time, Jungle Joe didn't miss a beat and very kindly  but firmly got the child to sit down so that there would be no disruption to the show. I was also blown away by Jungle Joe's sensitivity and ability to read different children's needs. My daughter was very eager to participate in the show, but the other birthday child was very shy and strongly preferred staying in the audience. Jungle Joe figured that out immediately, and both birthday children got the treatment that made them feel the most comfortable and celebrated. Afterward, the children were overjoyed with the show nearly all the adults asked me where I found Jungle Joe! You should definitely book him for your event- it's one of the best choices I have made when planning any event!
