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!

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.

Joe made my son's 7th birthday incredibly memorable! Initially, we requested a time slot that wasn't available, but Joe kindly adjusted his schedule to accommodate us. Not only did he arrive a few minutes early to set up, ensuring a prompt start, but he also graciously entertained the guests beyond the scheduled time, which we truly appreciated. We were unsure if Joe's performance would capture the attention of the older siblings (Grade 6) who attended the party, but to our delight, they were thoroughly engaged. Laughter and excitement filled the room, even from the older kids. Despite our son being typically shy, Joe connected with him so wonderfully that he felt truly special.

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!

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.

Jungle Jim and his cast of safari animals were AMAZING! Very engaging and interactive with the audience, both kids and parents all had a fabulous time. I love hiring Jungle Jim for events at the Zoo, he makes the whole process so easy from begining to end. I highly recommend this company and especially the ventriloquist puppet show!

We hired California Kids Fun for my daughter's 1st birthday and everyone had a blast! Booking was easy and staff was wonderful when called. I received several confirmation emails days prior to our event. On event day, 'Jungle Joe' arrived early to set up. He was soft spoken, entertaining and engaging with the kids. Kids LOVED him and are still talking about the "puppet man" days after. Thank you Jungle Joe and staff for making my daughters 1st birthday a memorable success!

I like the 4 puppet characters each with unique performance . The kids have a lot of fun. They engaged very well and keep laughing

We had such a wonderful experience today for our daughter’s birthday. The performer came on time and was so good with the kids. All the kids were literally rolling on the floor laughing. The grown ups too enjoyed a lot. Totally recommend him for any kids party.

So interactive and interesting… all kids enjoyed so much from start to end of the show.
