Children's Entertainer, Clown, Magician and Storyteller...

Professor Paradox is probably the funniest children's entertainer you will ever see - A clown with over 20 years experience, his hilarious shows that combine slapstick, clowning, magic, storytelling and stupendous inspired sillyness. His experience in theatre and the arts is as well suited to his work as a children's entertainer for birthday parties as it is to theatres, schools, and arts festivals, and his shows can be adapted to suit almost any event. He's a clown, magician, children's entertainer, fool, funnyman, and buffoon!

Professor Paradox brings a unique style to his work. More than a series of magic tricks, or clown routines, it is a theatre performance with a story that takes the audience into a fairytale world where ordinary objects assume a magical quality, a sense of excitement and mystery develops, and the children are taken on an adventure into a world of goblins, trolls, heroes, slapstick, and some very silly magic spells! It has the excitement that children love without being too scary!

More About Professor Paradox - Character Clown, magician, storyteller

Author of several children's stories Professor Paradox has a unique way of entertaining children by combining storytelling, clowning, juggling, and magical performances using his clowns skills along with those of musician, magician, jester, and fool. Yes there is music, magic, mime, theatre, and even dance. Is it theatre, art, or entertainment? Whatever the answer, he brings a rare talent to the order of magicians, storytellers, clowns, party performers and musicians, and he really puts the ART into pARTies!

Professor Paradox can perform shows for all ages including pre school because he understands what makes kids laugh, and although he is often asked to do a show for the kiddies to keep them quiet, his shows don’t keep anyone quiet! All the world's a stage and although he never was a circus clown, he has performed as a street entertainer, a busker, a character clown, a silent clown and a fairly noisy clown!

Professor Paradox performs high-quality interactive theatre and really enjoys children's parties. He doesn't do balloon modelling or discos or bouncy castles, or even face painting or puppet shows and bubbles only make an occasional appearance.

Punch and Judy shows are wonderful because they educate children through play, and Punch and Judy is an essential part of every child's education. So links to puppeteers and face painters are being added to the links pages, along with other children's entertainers and magicians. If this children's party magician isn't suitable you'll find a clown, or puppeteer or storyteller who is.

In the UK children’s party entertainers are often called magicians. In Ireland a party entertainer is a funnyman – someone who makes children laugh. Professor Paradox is a funny man who does some magic tricks as part of his birthday party show but it is more than a magic show and includes stories, jokes, slapstick, conjuring, humour, clowning, circus and comedy.

He has a special show for playgroups and pre school groups called Mr silly Billy which combines children’s theatre with the best elements of magic shows, with entertainment suitable for younger children and pre school children and their parents of course.
