What Makes Fred & Friends Special

A true entertainer
Fred is a funny, natural entertainer who can engage any audience. His magic illusions are flawless, and his shows are fast paced and fun

Engaging & educational
Magic is an ancient art, but Fred has kept up with the times, making use of the latest technology in his shows and magic disco parties.

Fun for young & old
Whether it’s a group of 4 year olds, tweens at a disco or adults at a 50th birthday party, Fred can tailor his show to suit any age group.
Fred's friends
the fun starts here!

Elvis the bird
This multi-coloured mischievous bird is much more of a hindrance than a help to poor Fred.

Geoffrey the dragon
Geoffrey’s bad manners and hilarious outbursts often land Fred in a whole heap of trouble.

Nellie the elephant
Squirting and spraying water, naughty Nellie has guests crying tears of laughter.

P-p-p-platypus
He’s a duck-billed, web-footed, funny-looking platypus - guests love the catchy platypus song.
