Does Milo Do Birthday Parties?

Milo does a very limited number of birthday parties that will be booked at corporate rates on a first come first serve basis. Milo is there for approximately one hour, and what he can do in that hour depends on how many guests are present. The usual show consists of balloons and a comedy magic show starring the birthday child with help from the guests as well. There are giggles galore even from Mom & Dad!

Milo brings a special personalized coloring sheet for the birthday child along with a card and a small gift! Each of the guests gets a coloring sheet and a small gift as well! You can also pick a puppet from the "Puppets" section below to come with Milo and sing Happy Birthday! Feel free to take as many pictures as you like during the show and Milo loves to pose for that special birthday shot with the guest of honor!

What Can Milo Do At Corporate Parties and Special Events?:

Balloon Art:

As an instructor level balloon artist, I offer a wide variety of balloon creations ranging from simple dogs and hats to elaborate headdress and spaceships. I can also offer "themed" balloons such as balloon reindeer at Christmastime! More than just a "balloon machine", I entertain with balloons!

Comedy Magic:

I am a member of the Halifax Magic Club, and offer an interactive child oriented comedy magic show, tailored to the age levels and customized for the season I am performing for. Special Halloween, Christmas, Easter and multi-cultural themed shows available!. Everyone gets to join in on the fun and laughter!

Comedy Skits:

Besides being just plain silly by nature, I draw from 24 years of community theatre and improv experience, performing mostly in comedy or song and dance roles. I have also been a proud award-winning member ofClowns Canada since 1993, and most recently became an award-winning member of Clowns International. This strong comedy background allows me to provide good clean fun for the "young and the young at heart"!

"Strolling Entertainment"

Mix and mingle with the crowd entertaining with pocket magic, balloons, puppets, coloring pages, one on one jokes and goofiness or just a time to meet and giggle with MILO! Milo has been known to ham it up for the camera for those "special" pic-a-lictures too! 

"Puppets"

The kiddies will fall in love with my goofy puppet pals "Hugs Bunny" and "Koko the Koala". "Hugs" is a funny flop eared bunny who just loves to give Milo a hard time, but his favourite thing is giving hugs to the children! "Koko" is a big cuddly muppet style koala bear, created originally for television by local puppeteer Terry Angus! (For more info visit him at Butch G. Catto see some other GREAT puppets!). "Koko" insists on being the center of attention, and upstages Milo whenever he appears with his cute looks,quick wit and singing ability! (He told me to say that by the way! He also requests eucalyptus leaves wherever he goes! Boy are THEY hard to find unless you live in Australia! )
Both appear on stage or doing "walk-about" at special events, and have been known to occasionally bring along a few of their friends as a surprise! Such as a few new additions to the family from :

 

 

"Buzzard" "Vern The Bird" "Silly Bear" "Wild Thing"

 

Meet the newest member of the family, "Buzzard", all the way from Milton, VT, USA. He just flew in and BOY are his wings tired! You'll get to meet him at an event near you, and if you ask nice he just may let you call him "Buzz".

"Bunny" "Sheep Dog" "Lambey Davis & Lambey Davis Jr." "Moomoo The Cow"

Bubbles, Bubbles and more Bubbles. . .

MILO arrives with a bucketful of bubble mix and his "Bubble Thing".
The "Bubble Thing" can produce bubbles up to and sometimes in excess of, 3 feet across! You have to see it to believe it and the children love it! 
MILO also brings along some bubble wands for the youngsters to try their hand at making 5 bubble clusters. 
(* Must be used in an open and preferably grassy area)

The "Milocycle"!!! Great for outdoor events and parades!

Bring your cameras! This is, as they say, a "Kodak moment". Let the kiddies climb aboard this colorful antique (1953) adult size 
tricycle for a photo they'll always treasure!

MILO arrives on site riding the Milocycle with his little covered wagon full of fun in tow! This bike even made an appearance in the movie "The Real Howard Spitz" which was filmed in Halifax in 1997. The Milocycle is a really "unique" cycle!
