Stilt Walking

Walk-about stilt walking for events and launches.

This is the act that turns a party into an event. Me on stilts, eight or nine feet tall, walking the floor, greeting guests, posing for photos, and giving the kids a story to tell every classmate on Monday morning. It's pure spectacle and it works just as well at a children's birthday as it does at a corporate festival, a school fete, or a wedding cocktail hour.

It's a premium tier — there's more setup, more travel kit, and a bit more skill on my part — so it sits at a higher rate than my walk-about acts. For most events one hour of stilts is plenty; I cover the room, take a hundred photos, and leave while the wow-factor is still peaking. Longer bookings work well for festivals or anywhere with steady foot traffic across the afternoon.

I need a few practical things to do this safely: an indoor or sheltered outdoor space with doorway heights of at least 2.4 metres, a level surface (carpets and lawns are fine; cobblestones and steep slopes are not), and a small private corner to suit up at the start and end. We'll work all of this out when you book.
