I'd like to say a big thanks to Garry Mr Mayhem and Gary (GDK) for sharing their kids party games with us.
I did a 5 year old party on Sunday and I used some of these games as the basis for my show, building around them with a bit dancing, fun and banter, and ideas inspired from other websites.
The show went down quite well (for my first attempt at such a show!) and this was confirmed by repeat bookings taken at the end of the show! I was still a little under-the-weather after my bout of flu but managed to get through the show with my voice intact (just!) and without collapsing after dancing and bouncing around with the kids (and I'm 16 stone so that's no mean feat!). As Mr Mayhem has said, it was a good feeling when the kids are enjoying themselves and shouting my name (big ego trip, there!). In fact, I was expecting the booking to be a one-off but now I'm looking at offering a kids party service as part of our growing list of services that we can provide.
Also, I'd like to say thanks to Steve Hanley who had offered to help out if I still wasn't feeling too good. If the gig had been a week earlier, Steve, I'd have passed it to you no problem as I simply wasn't well enough then. It's a great feeling to know there are good, local people out there who are willing to help out when things aren't quite going to plan.
Anyway, I don't often publically thank people but I think that, this time, it's definitely warranted!
Thanks again, lads! :)
