Street Entertainers and Performers in Scotland

Obviously many of our Magicians, Jugglers, Clowns, Stilt-Walkers, Robotics artistes etc can be used to entertain people in the street or at events. However, we have given the entertainers below their own page because of the unusual nature of their entertainment.

Comedy Performers

Ever helpful and ever willing, our roving packs of Street Performers will ensure that lunacy rules at your Event, Promotion, or Street Party. Just imagine the Monty Python team high on Iron Bru and Tunnock's Caramel wafers - and you'll have the right idea.

The Paparazzi

Always looking for that perfect shot and exclusive quote, these 'flash-popping hacks' spot celebrities at every turn. 'Hang on...there's Babs Windsor!'

The Old Butlers

Good old-fashioned decorum from the last bastions of more civilised times. Teacakes are proffered with just a hint of senility, they've been 'in service' for some time. (may also be BUTLERS or OLD MAIDS).'

The Elvis Cleaning Company

Highly efficient and dedicated, the Memphis Crew spread the word ... 'Cleanliness is next to Presliness'. They love their work, and often burst into song as they polish up the town.

The Brooklyn Wiseguys

What's the matter wid yew? De're hitting the town with money to burn... 'How ya doin'? Where's da Casino?' 'Here Baby, buy ya mudda a noo dress ... Disco! Disco!'

Redman Blueman

Prowling Redman tracks down hapless Blueman for a cartoon showdown - leading inevitably to 'boxing with flaming loaves'.

Bond & Company

An assortment of villains including vague resemblances to Blofeld, Jaws and Solitaire, the occasional Henchman, and sometimes Mr. Bond himself. On a good day they have been known to have a ski-chase through the dining room.

The Banditos

Hey Gringo! These Banditos whoop into town looking for some urgent dental treatment and tequila. In fact, tequila will suffice. 'Ay Caramba!'

Emotional Security

Sometimes what the public needs is a nice cup of tea and a cuddle. These sensitive guys are ever vigilant.

Alien Bus Party

Accompanied by a tour guide, these extra-terrestrials love to explore and communicate with Earthlings in the interest of inter-galactic cultural exchange. Especially on short parades.

Hotdogs in trouble

Hotdogs stick together on the streets ... there's some mean looking condiments out there ... like Mr. Mustard and Mr. Ketchup.

The Cossacks

These traditional acrobatic performers can leap up to two feet into the air (with the aid of their mini-trampoline). Tend to suffer injuries on a regular basis and often need to be accompanied by a qualified nurse when engaged in demonstrations.

The Glamourpusses - Donnasmella Verscratchy and Sophia Lo-Rent turn up at all the classy events, with 'friendly' advice on make-up, fashion and men for those less fortunate than themselves.

Heavy Metal Roadies -As far as they're concerned, nothing is loud enough. It needs to be 'miked up', checked, and tested for feedback. 'One two, one two, one two, one two etc etc ....

The Van Goghs - A whole gang of Vincents (slightly hard of hearing) enthusiastically create 'impressionistic masterpieces' worthy of a five-year old, as they crowd around their subject - be it litterbin or passer-by (may also be 'ANDY WARHOLS' or 'FRENCH MASTERS').

The Big Babies - Toddlers can be quite a handful can't they? But never fear, Nanny has them under control....sort of .....

The Unsolicited Advisors - These Civic Guides are eager to help. Too eager. Directions, health tips and fashion advice are all dispensed with earnest sincerity.

Three Dim Kings - Along with their camels they are searching for a star. Or a stable. Or a baby. Or a map.

Dreary Shoppers - Just one more present to get, and Auntie Mabel's such an awkward size ... 'What I'd give for a nice cuppa tea...me feet are killing me..'.

The Snow Queen - She is cold, magical and glamorous, and she shall have snow wherever she goes. Accompanied by acolytes, she is quite happy to chat about her penguins back home and discuss the latest styles in fridge freezers.

The Bunny Boys - Glasgow's 'premiere erotic dance troupe' cannot be recommended in any way. They are rank. And the last thing you want is to find one sitting on your lap.

The Laird - Often accompanied by his trusty Groundsmen, and occasionally his wife, the Laird likes to mingle at Cultural Events and promote his Highland Estate. And his brewery.

The Nervous Trees - Well you would be 'nervous' - with a crazed and myopic lumberjack in hot pursuit. Especially coming up to Christmas.

The Stanislavsky Brothers

Expelled from the Warsaw State Circus for twanging the tightrope and chasing the female contortionist, the Stanislavsky brothers have sought asylum (any asylum) in Scotland so they can subject innocent bystanders to their interactive rehearsals in public, in a vain attempt to create their circus masterpiece.

Like the Scottish Parliament, onlookers can only but gape at their laughable attempts, crazy ideas, and experiments...especially when they are drawn in to help. Using the World-famous Russian "Smirnoff" techniques of jugglery and fast action comedy-acrobatics, they perform a series of ever shifting mini-shows which test the reactions of their surrounding public.

Did you understand all that? No? Well don't worry...neither do we...and we're their Agent. However, it's great fun to watch!

Duration of act: 1 hour - or can be broken into smaller spots.

Ladies and Gentlemen...The Stanislavsky Brothers...from Russia with love.

Alien Creatures

From beyond our dimension, these strangely human Alien Creatures mingle among crowds and explore their environment using their otherworldly senses and alien behaviour causing wonderment and curiosity among their human companions.

The two four-legged, stilt-walkers can also be combined with two energetic acrobats on the ground to provide visual entertainment on different levels.

Alien Creatues can also be booked as a 15 minute choreographed club act without the 2 acrobats.

Striking, weird, wonderful, avante garde entertainment.
