To create happy, lasting family memories through the entertainment and education we provide. Captain Fantastic was started by Tommy Balaam in 2010 after he graduated from East 15 acting school. With his natural flair and rapport that he could build with children, he knew he had found his calling, so Tommy created Captain Fantastic - a superhero to "save the day from bad children's parties".
By 2013 Captain Fantastic parties were in such high demand, best friend and fellow East 15 graduate Ricky Fox became Tommy's full-time business partner. Over the next few years, Captain Fantastic grew rapidly, adding a host of new parties as well as being the first company to launch Mindfulness & Wellbeing courses for kids.

Services
Our entertainers at Captain Fantastic come from a performance background. More specifically, they are usually young and aspiring actors that have current experience within theatre. We are always on the lookout for special kinds of people to become entertainers for Captain Fantastic. You do not have to be a trained performer.
Quite simply, we are dedicated to giving you and your child a day you will never forget. We constantly revise our shows to keep them fresh, and we pride ourselves on our professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment.

All of our toddler party entertainers are bursting with energy and will put on a party your little one will never forget (whilst also minimising the stress on you!).
Just because we're not allowed to physically see our friends, that doesn't mean we can't celebrate our birthdays in style!

Very professional, listened to what I wanted to do, advised on what may work best and great fun. Very friendly to deal with and also on the day. Both adults and kids enjoyed and the entertainer’s set up was brilliant with lights, music, bubble and smoke machines all seemingly being very new and well looked after.
I booked a pirate party for my son’s 3rd birthday and in hindsight it was perhaps a little old for him. The entertainer tried to adapt on the day as he saw my son was a little overwhelmed which was really appreciated but just a learning for me as a parent. I hadn’t thought of magic

We booked captain Fantastic for our daughters 6th birthday back in November. from firt contact till after the party the service has been brilliant. I was contacted very quickly after my enquiry and all the… options explained and also emailed to me, so many options and something for everyone. i explained what my daughter would like but having a boy heavy school class asked for their opinion. Nathaniel was brilliant at explaining from his experience what would work best. even though he gave me all options we decided to book with himself and the party henreccomend. we went for the magic show

We used Captain Fantastic for a four year olds birthday. Our entertainer was Robyn, who was fantastic. The kids all loved her, she had them all watching intently, lots of fun and laughter. Just what we wanted. Robyn was also really easy to deal with, very professional and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing!! My son had the most amazing party EVER... in his words. Nat (Captain Fantastic) was absolutely brilliant with the children. He interacted with them so well & got their attention. There was no bored moment. He made it so easy for me, he introduced food, and cake, and kept them well entertained. I've never had an entertainment company like it and even mums of his friends were very complimentary of the company. Thank you so much for giving the children time to be free and have fun in this crazy world in these times x.

We hired Victoria from Captain Fantastic to do a Princess and Superhero party for our daughter’s birthday, having hired her two years before at our son’s party. I always highly recommend Victoria to anyone I know that is considering a children’s party as she is very professional, well organised, and puts so much effort into her performances. The children absolutely love her as she has a magical way of capturing their attention and keeping them well engaged.
Other parents watching the parties have always remarked on what a good entertainer she is as she has a real fun sense of humour, but

Victoria gave my daughter the most amazing 'glow' birthday party. She is absolutely brilliant, knows how to engage with the children and get down to their level, there was never a dull moment! I have one very happy 7 year old and the parents were also impressed! So if you are looking for a stress free party where someone entertains the children for you then Victoria is your lady with lots of party options to choose from and covid guidelines were followed. THANKS SO MUCH 😀 👏👏
