Bubble performer hire in Australia: the complete guide

Bubbles are the act that works on children too young for anything else. A toddler who cannot follow a magic trick or sit through a story will chase a bubble across a lawn for twenty minutes without drawing breath, and there is no other booking on this site that does that job.

There are two products here. Roving bubbles fill a space while something else is going on, and a bubble show is a proper stage act with giant bubbles, smoke filled bubbles and a child inside one at the finish. Live prices are below by city, and the two models sit at different ends of that range.

The roving version is atmosphere. A performer moves through a crowd making bubbles, children follow, and the act needs no stage, no sound and no attention from the schedule. It is one of the easiest things to add to a fete, a market day or a party that already has a main act booked.

A bubble show is the opposite: a seated audience, a focal point, lighting that catches the film, and a routine that builds to the moment a child stands inside a bubble. It runs for a set length, it needs setup time, and it earns the middle of your program rather than sitting at the edges.

Bubble performers spend their day surrounded by small children, and a show usually brings volunteers up to take part. Ask which working-with-children clearance the performer holds, since the schemes differ by state and territory, and ask to sight the card yourself.

We list acts and nothing more. Nobody on this site is checked, screened or verified by us, so do not treat a profile as a substitute for looking at the document. One question, one photograph of a card, and the matter is settled.

The live figures below run by city. Roving work is generally priced by the hour with a minimum, and it is one of the more affordable ways to keep small children happy for a stretch of an event. A full bubble show costs more, because the solution, the equipment and the routine all take real preparation.

Many performers offer bubbles as one part of a wider children's act. If you are booking an entertainer anyway, ask whether bubbles are already in the hour before you pay for them separately.

Wind is the enemy. Outdoors on a breezy afternoon, bubbles are gone before anyone reaches them, and a performer who has driven an hour to a windy park cannot do much about it. Ask what their plan is and have a sheltered spot available, because a courtyard or a verandah usually saves the booking.

The other one is the floor. Bubble solution makes a hard surface genuinely slippery, and a room full of running children on wet polished boards is an accident looking for a place to happen. Grass is ideal. Indoors, ask what they put down and where they need the audience to stay.

The strongest use is alongside something else: during the gap while a party moves from games to food, at the entrance of a fete to pull families in, or through the long afternoon of a community day when the main stage is between acts. Bubbles do not need the room's attention, which is exactly why they fill the parts of an event nothing else covers.

For photographers, it is also the cheapest good idea going. Late afternoon light through a bubble does half the work, and the pictures from that twenty minutes tend to be the ones parents keep.
