On stilts, as a strolling / "table-hopping" artiste, and even in cabaret, Barney Bay can tailor his entertainment in both costume and character to fit most themes. Read on for some of my most requested specialities, or contact me direct if you have any other ideas or requests.

MEDIEVAL BANQUETS - HIJINKS THE JESTER: I bid you all welcome to an evening of mirth, mayhem and merrymaking! Barney is resident Jester at Corfe Castle in Dorset, and is also a regular at Medieval Banqueting Halls across the South, including King Arthur's Court in Bournemouth, and the Courtyard Centre in Poole.

JAMES BOND EVENTS: a theme particularly close to Barney's heart ... "and one for which I've developed not one but two characters!" As the 'gadget'-genius 'Q' immortalized by Desmond Llewelyn in 17 James Bond films, Barney will equip your guests with spyware for their latest secret mission - and of course lecture them on the importance of returning his equipment intact. He'll also appear as Commander James Bond in his Naval Uniform, usually either to greet the arriving guests on stilts, or as a cabaret juggler - with routines choreographed of course to the music of James Bond.
In 1994 Barney watched all the Bond films in one sitting; he has since organized several weekend events for James Bond aficionados, as well as devising '007' quizzes suitable for both lay-person and fanatic.

HALLOWE'EN / HORROR THEMED EVENTS: in character as a fire- or laser-juggling Devil.

OTHER THEMED EVENTS: other themes I have tailored my entertainment around to date include Shakespearian, French, Christmas, 70's, Circus and Gold - please contact me if you have any other ideas or requests.

Barney also works with other artistes as part of a themed package - in particular with magician and comedian Wyn Jones who, at James Bond events for instance, will perform close-up magic as "Blofeld" complete with eye-patch, Russian accent and white cat. Find out more at www.wynjonesmagic.com
