They are wonderful. Respond quickly and very informative. You can tell they love what they do.

My name is Jay. I went to a birthday party for my nephew this last Saturday, about half way through, Marion the Balloon girl showed up and the energy of the party doubled in about ten minutes.

From my wife, since she's not a Yelper: We were looking for something special to help my out-of-state sister celebrate an important milestone, and Absurd Entertainment delivered ... and then some! The singing telegram was a huge hit. Marion readily accommodated our special request to sing a personalized song that we wrote (to the tune of "Your Are My Sunshine"). She delivered it perfectly (much better than we would, lol) and made sure it was meaningful since we couldn't be there in person. We also added flowers to our order, and we were thrilled with the quality of the arrangement that Marion provided -- my sister gushed over it. All in all, we were so thankful to be represented so well. Weeks later, my sister is still over the moon with joy. Thanks, Absurd Entertainment! read more

My wife and I hired Giggles the Clown to deliver a birthday greeting and gift to our 5 year old granddaughter. We were thrilled with the results. Giggles arrived promptly on time at 7:30 in the morning (bless her) in a wonderful non-scary costume full of color and wonder. She had wonderful props and made our granddaughter a crosage of poppies. She put the corssage on her heart and told her it was there to remember her grandfather, Pop-pop. Her delivery was full of love and caring and she was received well by our daugter and son-in-law who laughed and videoed the performance. Our granddaughter was delighted and we know that through Giggles we delivered her our love. We highly recommend Absurd Entertainment Harry - Novato, California read more

A great service for planned social events, especially if you like CrAzY balloons.

My wife at the last minute hired Marilyn Monroe to sing Happy Retirement to me in front of about 30 Managers at a meeting and brought balloons and gifts and was the hit of the Managers meetings!She had dressed the part and sang wonderfully.The Company will never forget that retirement party!!If your looking to put a spark in your party,Call Absurd Entertainment! read more

I'm probably exactly like you in that I have always wanted to hire a guy in a gorilla costume to deliver a singing telegram. You have too, right? Anyway, I planned a retirement dinner for my in-laws in Folsom last night and I finally had my opportunity. I did a quick Internet search and found Absurd Entertainment. 10:30pm, I made my reservation and paid online easily. The next day I got a confirmation call and went over the details with Joseph. We arranged to have the singing gorilla and his very nice announcer/handler Marion meet us outside the restaurant for the big song so that the in-laws could enjoy their dinner afterward without feeling embarassed. He even gave me some great business advice (about his online booking system -which is easier and more user friendly than mine). On the night of the party, Joseph (in full gorilla regalia including a pink tutu!) and Marion showed up at 7 on the dot, did a fantastic performance, brought balloons and even gave a banana to my three-year-old son, who was totally enthralled. They both hammed it up and cracked everyone up. Marion even took pictures. They were friendly, professional, talented. I'm already plotting my next guerilla gorilla performance attack as soon as the right occasion comes along, though I see from their web site that they also do characters and magic shows for kids' parties. Joseph and Marion turned our little dinner party into something really fun and special. I would definitely work with these fab folks again. read more

Loved the entertainment and show I had this weekend. K hi the magician was the best and at a great price left us all wow'd Thanks for showing up early also staying for a extended period I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Crazy balloons and tricks read more

Absurd Entertainment - Clowns Near Me

Hired Giggles for a 1yr old birthday party and she was a highlight. She was on time and got straight to work & needed nothing from me. She entertained the kids for a full hour & in that hour she was able to get so much done. The kids loved her. Will definitely use her again for future events. read more

Giggles was absolutely a hit at my sons party loved her energy and interactions with the kids highly highly highly recommend her !!!

We hired Giggles to come help entertain the kiddos for my son's 6th birthday party out in the park. As soon as she came, the kids swarmed around her and loved her! She came with a bunch of ready made balloon swords which cut the time it would have taken to make them individually onsite for 20+ kiddos. Each kid went home with their requested animal balloon and face painted. Giggles even stayed past her time to fulfill some last minute requests...she couldn't say no to the kiddos :). I will definitely hire her again...she is very friendly and fun loving and you can tell that she loves what she does! read more

We used both Giggles the clown and Winnie the Pooh (plus the magician) for both of my children's 1st birthday parties. And I would highly recommend them. They were professionals when they called me back and then when the called me the day before the party. Both entertainers arrived early and stayed in profesional mode till it was time to have fun. And the fun wasn't just for the kids, the parents were also laughing and having a good time. In both situations, the clock was not the main issue but to entertain and make their audience happy. Giggles never broke her character even when she was leaving our party. She actually stopped to entertain some kids that were not part of our party. She gets 5 stars for putting the importantance of staying true to her craft rather than the money. read more

Just want to say thank you!! She not only responded quickly to my call, but also made it happen in just two hours! She was perfect! Exactly what we wanted for our friends birthday. Worth every penny. Your rock!!!! Its a gift from the heart. Thank you again! read more

What can I say, Paul was wonderful! He followed up with me quickly and answered all my concerns and questions. They went today for my grandmothers birthday and surprised her at work. They sang her two different versions of happy birthday and brought balloons. My grandma was thrilled and made it a very special birthday. I requested the gorilla in a Tutu which was a hit at work. Thank you so much Absurd Entertainment for making my grandma laugh on her birthday! read more

I recently used.. Joseph aka Bosco the Magician of Absurd Party Planning & Entertainment for my family reunion. Bosco was a smash hit! I can still hear the laughter and giggles of the children at the picnic. Bosco/Joseph's skills are so impressive...he even WOWed the adults! What we liked most about Joseph/Bosco's show...was that he went to each table and personally entertained the family...very interactive. I highly recommend hiring Joseph/Bosco...you will not be disappointed! read more

We recently used Absurd Entertainment for my son's 1st birthday party. We requested an Elmo for the Sesame Street theme. As 1st birthday parties are mostly for the adults, there were a couple kids there. The performance was fantastic. Magic show and balloons! The kids loved participating, and the adults were enjoying the reactions of the kids. Although my son probably won't remember any of it....we have some great pictures for his baby book. We will definitely be using this company in the future. They were very professional and easy to work with. read more

I hired Giggles for my son's 5th birthday party and she was fantastic! She was extremely patient with the children and her magic show and jokes had both the children and adults entertained! The children also loved the balloon animals and face painting. read more

Casey came to our son's 6 the birthday party dressed as a batman. He was a great hit both with kids and adults. Was on time. Very professional.played the role very well. Talked to Bosco to make the reservations. Great people. Will hire them again for the next party. CASEY U WERE GREAT!!!!!!!!!! read more

Hired Giggles on short notice for my adult/kid party. She was awesome. I was already scatterbrained from preparing for the party and guests arriving, giggles arrived and didn't need anything from me to make herself comfortable and setup, she was a hoot from the get-go, kids and adults loved watching. I didn't even want to walk away to finish my party preparations. The price was reasonable, she managed the time very well to get all kids taken care of (balloon animals and face painting) in the time we planned, and did not nickel and dime us down to the minute, extremely flexible and accommodating. Will definitely look for an excuse to hire her again! read more

I tried calling at 9:30am wanting to book a reservation for my niece birthday although we need their service for the same day. I left them a voice mail to call me back. I also went online to make a reservation and it allowed me to book it for the same day at 2:30pm. I received a confirmation in my email about the reservation. I called at 11:00am to confirm my reservation and left a voice mail again. Since i did not receive a call back i was assuming that they will arrive at 2:30pm. 2:30pm came and no one showed up. Around 2:35pm i received a call from a guy saying that him and princess are in los Angeles and couldn't make it. They could have returned my call in the morning to tell me that instead they called on the actual time to tell me that they could not make it. On the online reservation it should have told me if there was a time limitation to book the reservation plus the website made it sound like they have more employees to cover the services.plus the service is not cheap yet we were willing to pay for the service for an hour. read more

After an initial snafu, Absurd Entertainment made everything right and then some. Great customer service and Santa Mitch is great. Hope to have the opportunity to work with this company again soon! read more

My husband who was turning 65 decided at the last minute to have a party. With only 3 days to plan I searched Yelp for ideas on entertainment. I found Absurd Entertainment and spoke with Joseph in detail as to what I was looking for. He was a delight to speak with and his recommendation was right on. We hired the Marilyn Monroe impersonator to come and entertain the group (a party of 60). She sang him a birthday song and entertained the crowd with her wit and charm. She showed up on time and was very accommodating when people wanted to take her picture. I would certainly hire this group again and would recommend them full heartily. I had many of guest ask me where I found her and without hesitation I told them. Very honest, great customer service, reasonable and accommodating, who could ask for more. read more

Unfortunately, I have to give Absurd Entertainment a negative rating. I had hired them for a singing telegram for my parents' 60th wedding anniversary party last weekend. When Joseph (as a gorilla in a pink tutu) and his amplifier assistant entered the room, he found my parents right away. This was great! What happened next was not so great. He sang two songs, and something was off with the amplifier, so not only were the words to the songs unable to be understood, his microphone kept cutting in and out. The gorilla costume he was wearing didn't exactly fit, so the head kept moving around, and you could see his nose in the eye holes, etc. It probably would have worked out better if the venue was a much smaller room. He also arrived later than the determined time. Needless to say, the $175 for the 15 mins. wasn't one of our best purchases for the party. read more

For some time now I have been wanting to find an occasion to hire a magician. When I saw K-Hi at a children's party I knew I needed to have a party. After obtaining a business card for Absurd Entertainment I had the vision of having a strolling magician for a holiday party at our house. I am a planner, so I contacted Bosco the Magician early on just in case he was already getting booked for the holiday season. He always promptly responded to my inquiries and seemed genuinely interested in my party planning. The day of the party, Bosco called me an hour prior to his arrival time to let me know he was on his way. A nice touch for a frazzled hostess preparing for a party. Bosco arrived on time if not early and came right in and got down to business just as I requested. We hired him for an hour and half and it was a fun filled evening. He must have done at least 5 different magic shows throughout each room of our house throughout the evening. Bosco remembered our guests names, addressed them personally throughout the evening and did a fantastic job making sure he interacted with everyone. Bosco is a seasoned entertainer and an incredibly smooth magician. Don't bother trying to catch him in the act, you can't. And why bother, it is much more enjoyable to watch the magic the show and see your guests having a great time. read more
