Our Wedding with Danny the Idiot

Danny was absolutely brilliant, very talented and funny, it was smiles all round.
He was engaging with all of our wedding guests, not just the children. :-)
We have since used him out our children's parties too.
I will always recommend him!

Fantastic Balloon Entertainment for All Ages in Sussex

We had Danny the Idiot perform at our wedding in Battle, East Sussex, and he was absolutely fantastic. He kept both children and adults entertained during the quieter moments, and everyone loved him. His balloon creations were incredible, and his warm, engaging personality made him a hit with all our guests. Danny was punctual, professional, and clearly very experienced at working a crowd. If you’re looking for unique entertainment that adds something special to your event, we highly recommend him!
