I could not thank these wonderful talented people enough for giving my daughter the best birthday she could ever have asked for. Everything was perfect, the Facepainting was amazing, the entertainment was incredible and the Punch and Judy show was a big hit with the kids (and the parents!). I would highly recommend, thank you both. You made the day completely stress free for me and you made my 5 year old so happy on her special day.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Banana Brain Fun Shows. They delivered a fantastic party for 40+ five year olds, which is no small feat. Chris kept the children absolutely riveted throughout and Julie’s face painting was brilliant. Several other parents commented on how good they were. From our perspective, they were incredibly helpful, flexible, and a pleasure to deal with. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you.

Lovely team, held 50 kids captivated across the 2 hour party. Entertaining for the adults too. Would definitely recommend

I had both Chris and Julie come to my 50th birthday party! Chris was the most efficacious magician I have ever seen! He walked around tables and met with everyone, encouraging even the most grumpiest to join in! Julie held master classes in balloon modelling with people considering a career change after their finished creations were put on display!! She made me the most impressive unicorn hat! I wore it all night long! Definitely would recommend for any age, any party, any time! They were the best! Thank you both!

Banana brain fun shows put on a brilliant birthday party for our 5 year old. She loved every minute as did all of her friends (and adults). There was so much fun and laughter the whole time. The face painting was brilliant too. Would highly recommend!

Thank you so much for such a brilliant afternoon. Bea had a fabulous time at her party, you kept the children all completely engaged and they loved having their faces painted so wonderfully. We had so many comments on what a wonderful party. Thank you!

We just wanted to say thank you so much for entertaining the children at Harley’s birthday party. He loved it and we’ve had such great feedback about the show, interaction with the kids and the wonderful face painting!

Great entertainment for my daughters birthday party. 37 kids seemed to agree! Julie’s face painting was top notch and Chris knew how to engage with the kids. And the parents for that matter. Good value for money and they know what they are doing, turned up early and got set up in no time with an impressive backdrop and props. Would recommend. Great stuff.

I just wanted to extend my sincere thanks for your show today. I appreciate coming into a party mid way through and taking over from a bouncy castle and slide party was less than ideal but it was FAB! You had all the kids attention (and those kids were causing mayhem only half hour before) and my son Eli thought it was brilliant. So many parents said how great you were. So thanks a million for helping us make Eli’s first ever birthday party memorable!

Thank you so much for your hard work on the party today. Many parents have messaged us saying things like “this is the best kids party I have been to” Face painting was fantastic and entertainment outstanding- classic live entertainment. Long may this kind of entertainment live on !! Frankie had an amazing time especially the magic. Balloon sculptures amazing. You are both so talented.

Chris and Julie were absolutely fantastic for my daughters birthday, by far the best party we’ve seen so far! Highly recommended

Absolutely brilliant, had the kids entertained for the two hours, giggling, dancing and having a great time. Amazing face painting to top it all off. Second time we’ve booked and will happily use again!

My son had a fantastic 6th birthday thanks to these guys. All the kids had so much fun! Amazing face paints and awesome laughs all around. Thank you!

A belated huge thank you for such a fab party on Sunday – Lexi loved it as did all her friends.

Thank you for hosting a brilliant party yesterday for Ada’s 5th birthday. Your show was really fun and kept everyone engaged and entertained. The face painting was beautiful. Thank you for working your magic

Julie was amazing at our Funday. Really good face painting with lots of happy kids. Professional and friendly service. I would definitely recommend Bananabrain and look forward to booking them again for our next event

Thank you so much for doing our sons 5th Birthday party he absolutely loved it he had so much fun and enjoyed taking part his friends and their parents also really enjoyed the show!

Thank you so much for todays show at the club! The boys (and us) absolutely loved it, and we’ve had amazing feedback from everyone else that came

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for performing at Juniper yesterday. The children loved the Punch and Judy show. A few children loved it so much we let them miss the races activity to watch it again!! Julie Harris, our EYFS lead, said one of the little children in reception is usually so serious and doesn’t laugh much, couldn’t stop smiling, they saw pure joy on her face. Thank you for being part of our Jubilee celebrations.

Fantastic entertainment, highly recommend. All the children thoroughly enjoyed it, even the adults! Julie and Chris were amazing the face painting,magic, balloon modelling, even Scruffy the dog had all the children laughing and screaming when they got wet

We booked Chris and Julie for our son’s 6th birthday and we are so impressed with Banana Brain Fun Shows! To have 30+ kids engaged from the beginning to the end was incredible in itself! They all loved it, as did us parents! Lots of requests from other parents for details as they said it was the best party they had been to! We especially loved Scruffy.. and the face painting was amazing! 100% recommend this company.

We booked Julie and Chris for my sons 4th birthday and they were absolutely brilliant. They arrived on time, set up quickly and efficiently and put on an excellent show for 25 kids and their parents. The show was engaging, funny and the kids loved it! The parents also enjoyed the humour, and Scruffy the dog was my personal favourite! The kids loved the balloon models and face painting which is a lovely extra touch. Julie and Chris bought such joy to an important day and it was a memory we will treasure forever. Thank you Julie and Chris!

We booked banana brain fun show for my sons sixth birthday and they were fantastic! The kids were mesmerised by Chris from the offset, he was hilarious and Julies face painting was amazing! Every child has their face painted and they were real works of art. I recommend them to all my friends and would rebook them again without hesitation. Thank you both for making our sons birthday party so special.

Thank you so much for a great morning. We had so much great feedback, we were thrilled with how it went and we have one very happy 4 year old (and our 7 year old loved it too!). Success all round.

Soph had the best birthday party it was just amazing all the kids loved it and we are very grateful to you both

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for such a fantastic party yesterday! The kids all loved it and I don’t know how you managed to keep them all so engaged for 2 hours! The face painting was a huge success – all in all a fantastic party and we are very grateful so thank you!

Thank you once again for a brilliant show. Look forward to the next one.

Just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH for doing Albie and Josh’s party at the weekend. They absolutely loved it- everyone did. Thank you xxx

Thanks again for a fantastic party – the kids loved it and I’m still getting feedback messages this morning!

Chris & Julie were the entertainers at my daughter’s 6th birthday party and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Chris was great with my daughter who was shy at first but soon warmed up, Chris had the children laughing from the minute they arrived. Quite a few of the adults at the party commented how good the entertainment was. Brillant face paint from Julie too-my daughter didn’t want to take it off.

I would just like to say a massive thank you for your magic show on Sunday for my twins Oliver & Grace. They both absolutely loved it and all their friends did too. It was not stop talking about it at school!!

Lovely from start to finish today my 6 year old loved it….. Chris really had the children’s attention for the whole show and Julie’s face painting skills are amazing I will be recommending and using again! Fantastic party hosts thank you again

Thank you very much for your much needed entertainment yesterday at the party. We had a few more children than planned, so it was ideal to have them fully engaged for an hour. We have had grown ups still puzzled as to how you did the orange and black paper trick! Thank you for making it a spooky theme, both my girls absolutely loved it and said how silly you were. Always lovely to hear all the children really laughing!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT !!!!! Julie took my booking on extremely short notice and they showed up half an hour early after having to travel at least 40 miles to get there. They set up really quickly and just blended in. Julie did a fantastic job on the children’s faces and Chris did an outstanding job with the show ~ our Granddaughter loved being the star of the show. The children were kept thoroughly engaged throughout the whole show. We have already recommended them to a few more parents who have asked us who they were and hope to use them again next year !! Thanks again Julia and Chris ~ you made a little girl REALLY happy x

Many thanks. We had a cracking time and everyone enjoyed it. Our daughter loved and even the grandparent!! Julie thanks for being there, your face painting is amazing

Thank you so much for coming Saturday. Everyone commented on how much they loved the entertainment and how good you were. My Chloe also had a fantastic time and thank you for making her feel so special. Will highly recommend your services.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for today, Ethan and all the children had a great time and enjoyed every minute. Thanks again

Thankyou so so much for making Ollys birthday so special. He was Mesmerized by you! Everyone had a wonderful time! We will definately be booking you guys again! Thanks again.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for yesterday. The pupils loved it and so did the staff!! Thank you for making our seaside day a success

Thank you so much for being involved in our event yesterday, and being apart of truly bringing a family friendly feel to the event. All that you were doing looked great and both kids and adults alike thoroughly enjoyed it. I do hope we can work together on events in the future.

What a wonderful start to the day the children had thanks to you. What a wonderful magician you are and I look forward to booking you again in the future. Thank you Emma

This is the second time I’ve used Banana Brain Fun Shows. Both times they have been absolutely excellent, and provided amazing entertainment. The children loved getting their faces painted, even the adults had some faces painted! The magic and puppets were also fabulous and kept the children thoroughly entertained. I would recommend without hesitation.

Thank you so much for the amazing entertainment yesterday! We had so many comments from parents & the kids absolutely loved it. The birthday boy & girl were smiling all day. We would 100% recommend to you to any friends or family!!

Chris and Julie, thank you again for an amazing party. Second time of booking and just as good as the first time. Different act and amazing face painting. The girls loved Julie’s unicorns

Thank you! Everyone had a great time. They loved the fun games and magic and everyone commented on what lovely dance paints all the girls had. Thanks again.
