What does a kids party entertainer in Ballarat do?
A kids party entertainer keeps children engaged and excited from start to finish — running an interactive magic show, painting faces, twisting balloons and leading games — while giving parents a chance to relax and enjoy the day instead of managing the chaos.
Picco The Clown is a Ballarat-based children's entertainer servicing Ballarat, Melbourne and Geelong. A typical Picco party combines several of these:
- Interactive comedy magic show — the birthday child gets the spotlight and a special moment
- Professional face painting — superheroes, princesses, animals and more, using skin-safe paints
- Balloon twisting — animals, swords, crowns and flowers for every child to take home
- Games, music and dancing — keeping every child involved, even the shy ones

How far in advance should I book?
Weekends book out fast, especially in school holidays and the lead-up to Christmas. As a rule of thumb, booking 3–6 weeks ahead gives you the best chance of locking in your preferred date and time. Last-minute enquiries are always worth a call — gaps do come up. More detail in our guide on how far ahead to book a party entertainer.
