PRIMARY SCHOOL DISCO PARTIES

Having Fred host your school disco fundraiser is a huge drawcard, as he is well known and talented at entertaining the crowd. His shows include music, lights, smoke effects as well as games and activities – all supported by his fast paced comedy banter to ensure that no one is bored even for a second.

Fred keeps up to date with the latest lighting and smoke machine technology, and regularly updates his equipment, which is also all PAT tested. He uses the latest LED lighting to create amazing light shows that are also far safer than traditional lighting.

FAST PACED SCHOOL DISCO FUN

One of the many things that makes Fred’s school discos so popular, is the fact that they are incredibly well organised. Fred will advise on splitting a school disco into key stages with specific pre planned activities such as dancing, competitions, talent shows etc. This allows for everything to proceed smoothly with no lulls in entertainment.

VIDEO DISCO MAGIC

What’s better than dancing along to your favourite artist’s latest song? Watching them on the big screen while you dance! Fred can include video disco equipment into his show, projecting music videos as the songs are playing.

AGE APPROPRIATE

Fred in the Shed is able to customise disco parties to any theme or age group, and while he may have a plan of action for the night he is also flexible in changing things up as the night progresses. In addition, all songs and music videos played are 100% child friendly.

Chris Barlow - Bearwood Primary School

Thank you so very much for entertaining the children yesterday at Plus Three Nursery Farley Wood's party to celebrate our 32nd Anniversary. The children had a fantastic time with lots of fun and giggles as did all the team too. Thank you for helping to make the day special.
Heather Woad - Nursery Manager

We love Fred in the Shed and so do all of our kids. He makes the children laugh, has them all under control and even manages to get the parents involved with some tongue in cheek humour to boot. We highly recommend him for corporate events and look forward to seeing him again at Christmas.
Tracy Adams - Avnet

Thank you again for keeping the children so well entertained at our wedding. We were so very grateful, and I know other parents were too. All the best!
Julia

Over the past 8 years Fred in the Shed has become a permanent and very welcome fixture at the annual Caversham Church Fete in Caversham Court. His brand of irreverent humour, which is frequently cheeky but never rude, is loved by children and adults alike. He is very good with children; his walkabout magic and balloon modelling are always popular
Nigel Smith - Chairman, Caversham Church Fete

Just say a big thank you for your performance this morning, the children and parents really enjoyed your show. I can easily say you are the best and funniest children's entertainer we have ever seen. We will definitely recommend you to our friends.
John & Joanna Roberts (Max's mum & dad)

Roger and I cannot thank you enough for making the boys' party such a success. I haven't cried with laughter so many times within two hours in a very long time! We thought you got it spot on, you read and handled our boys with such care and you controlled the rabble beautifully. You were a huge hit! Miles said his favourite guest today was the platypus.
Roger, Lorna, Ed & Miles

Fred in The Shed helped us provide a great event for our local community. We had no doubt it would be great event for our community but didn’t realise just how popular and how professional the experience would be. We would thoroughly recommend the Fred in The Shed theatre show for anyone looking to attract a crowd for an event, or organisation for the younger audience.
Andrew Webb - Jennett's Park Community Centre

I just wanted to thank you again for Henry's party yesterday. My family and friends and the children all had a fantastic time and everyone said as they left how fun it was. The thing I wanted to thank you for the most though was the way that you dealt with Henry. He has been quite unsettled over the past week or so with the imminent arrival of a sibling and was totally overwhelmed at the start of the party but your sensitive and gentle approach soon lured him in and he had the most wonderful time. He is still talking about having to stand on a chair for his cake and all the dads dancing!
Katie Hatherall

Just wanted to say a big thank you. Everyone really enjoyed the show and you made Bella’s birthday very special.
Maria Anderson

I just wanted to thank you for Willow's party on Saturday - she had an amazing time and so did all her friends! Also thanks for entertaining the parents so much - I've had so much great feedback on the party from them all. They all thought it was really funny and of course we all loved the dads dancing together! Thanks again.

Suzanne Higgins

Just come back from an excellent Fred in the Shed performance. This is the second time I’ve seen a show and both times have been brilliant. Looking forward to the next time as it’s just as good for adults as it is for the children. An exceptionally talented performer.
Morris Roz

Just to say thank you so much for giving Eliza the best 5th birthday entertainment we could have hoped for! Entertaining over 30 children 4yrs-14yrs (and all the adults) for over 90 minutes is amazing and you kept everyone laughing and participating throughout. Will definitely be recommending (and probably re-booking!) Fred In The Shed.
Emily Johns

We booked ‘Fred in the Shed’ and his ‘Mischief Makers’ Magic Show to promote this year’s challenge and can highly recommend him. All the children (and their parents!) were in stitches from the start and the time flew by. Fred engaged so well with all ages from tetchy toddlers to grumpy grannies and had the audience in the palm of his hand. The show entertained young and old and constantly referenced the library and the Summer Reading Challenge. We would definitely book him again!
