Puppet shows can be appropriate for all age groups, but some may be geared toward specific age ranges. Most puppet shows will be aimed at a younger audience. However, some puppeteers can edit the content for a more mature crowd. It’s important to check with the vendor prior to booking to ensure that the performance will be fitting for your guests.

What type of events should I book a puppet show for?

expand

Puppet plays and shows are an excellent addition to all types of events. When it comes to children’s entertainment, puppet shows are both an affordable and fun option. This makes them perfect for birthday parties, festivals, and community gatherings. Many puppeteers can also include educational messages for school assemblies and library events.

If you’re trying to entertain a more mature audience at a corporate event or fundraiser, look for puppet shows and ventriloquists that focus more on comedy and audience participation.
