Paul and Giggles the clown were wonderful to work with! I can't recommend Absurd enough. Great communication and execution from start to finish. We had Giggles at my son's first birthday party. Both the kids and parents were entertained. She made tons of balloons, had cute jokes, and lots of bubbles. We had kids between 1-7 years old. I wish I could post photos here because Giggles is super adorable and sweet!

We hired a Santa with absurd entertainment. He was fantastic! We gave him some information about each child which he managed to go over and make each child feel special! He survived some serious question and answers from the older kids. His answers were creative and hilarious! He ended the night signing Christmas carols and keeping the spirit alive and well in our house! We will definitely be booking again!

I am so happy with Absurd Entertainment! I wanted to do something special for my sister's 40th birthday! Came across Absurd Entertainment and knew I had to book. I had spoke to Paul over the phone (since I live in Louisiana) and we scheduled a Friday booking. Well, with my luck of course my sister decides to take the day off, oops! Called Paul and we rescheduled to Monday during the day. He even gave me an option that if she didn't come to work that day, they would go to her house that evening. So accommodating! Thankfully, the Gorilla got to do her thing and caught my sister totally off guard! Thank you so much, she loved loved LOVED it and I'm glad we got to make her 40th super special.

I hired Giggles the Clown for my 3 year old daughter's birthday, and my daughter and her friends had the best time! Giggles came in and did a short and entertaining "magic" show. She made a balloon animal/object for each kid at the party, and also did face painting for every kid! You can imagine how excited these kids were. As soon as she walked into our house, she had everyone's attention. Even the adults stopped their conversation to watch her entertain the kids.
A lot of her jokes were even targeted to the adults, which made the entire experience much more fun for everyone. Giggles helped us sing happy birthday to my daughter and provided such a fun party experience for all. I had a great experience from the beginning with this company. When I first called to inquire about this service, I was given a lot of details and options about the different entertainment that was offered. The day before the party, I spoke with Giggles to confirm the party details, and she did the rest. I was definitely happy with having Giggles at our party!
