This show was part of Warwick Arts Centre\u2019s extensive and carefully thought out half term events programme and I was intrigued to see just how much entertainment could be gained from bubbles so was looking forward to seeing what the show had to offer.<\/p>\n
We arrived at Warwick Arts Centre and parking was easy and there was plenty of it. Our tickets were clearly marked with what door to go to and our seat numbers but there were plenty of staff on hand to help with where to go.<\/p>\n
We entered the theatre and it was full to brim with excited families. The theatre was cool, airy and modern and booster seats were available for smaller guests. The seating was also arranged in such a way that regardless of where they were, everyone got a good view and being slightly \u2018steeper\u2019 ensured that there was no risk of sitting behind someone particularly tall and having our view obstructed!<\/p>\n
The show began in typical Warwick Arts Centre style with live music and the Amazing Bubble Man was introduced. He entered the stage and wowed the audience and then introduced himself. His humour was brilliant and he cleverly managed to appeal to all audience members with jokes that were appreciated by adults but still entertaining to the children in the audience.<\/p>\n
The bubble show displayed the Amazing Bubble Man\u2019s skills wonderfully with a full hour of wowing from the audience but he also managed to throw in a bit of science too, in case anyone was wondering how his amazing tricks were even possible.<\/p>\n
The show itself including bubbles filled with smoke, clever light displays and even audience members being immersed from head to toe in a bubble!<\/p>\n
Being a children\u2019s show, it would not have been complete without the opportunity for some audience participation and this was delivered brilliantly with plenty of surprises in store.<\/p>\n
The show continued to wow and just when the audience thought that no more was even possible, the grand finale ensured the entire audience erupted into cheers. Children were invited to the stage area to immerse themselves in more bubbles and it seemed that the entire audience, my son included, were truly delighted with the show!<\/p>\n
After the show, there was the opportunity to purchase merchandise, which the Amazing Bubble Man himself was selling. The prices were reasonable and I feel that many children left the show ready to perform their own \u2018bubble showcase\u2019 at home. \u2013 I know mine certainly did!<\/p>\n
Overall, the show entertained from start to finish and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting an entertaining afternoon with something that people of any age can enjoy.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there are no more UK shows planned for the Amazing Bubble Man, but I would recommend looking out for his next trip to the UK – Visit www.amazingbubbleman.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_divider color=”#919191″ divider_position=”center” _builder_version=”3.2″ hide_on_mobile=”off” locked=”on”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”20|20″ padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.bubbleguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/BirdBubbleMiri.jpg” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”3.18.9″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”left” sticky=”on”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Bruce Bunch – Audience” _builder_version=”3.18.9″ text_font=”Open Sans Light|on|||” text_font_size=”21″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n (Written by Charlotte Steel)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Article” _builder_version=”3.18.9″ text_font=”Open Sans||||” text_font_size=”17″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Amazing Bubble Man lives up to the hype. Here we have a man doing consistently amazing things with bubbles!<\/p>\n It seems like most of what is feasible to do with a bubble and \/ or multiple bubbles he\u2019s doing here. With humour, scientific explanations and panache the Amazing Bubble Man conjures trick after trick with the help of an intriguing array of bubble apparatus. There are square bubbles, rocket and snow globe bubbles, caterpillar bubbles, disco bubbles, bubbles so big they swallow a child whole\u2026 you name it, there\u2019s probably a bubble trick in there somewhere!<\/p>\n There are ample opportunities for audience participation for those game enough and willing to get splattered with bubble liquid and \/ or squirted at with a water pistol.<\/p>\n Part of the experience is being in a (practically) sold out huge venue, alongside hundreds of other enthralled kids and their accompanying adults. My 3 year old loves bubbles and she was definitely into this. A big part of its family appeal I think is that there\u2019s something in the show for all ages.<\/p>\n My mini reviewer said: \u201cAmazing!\u201d and \u201cThat\u2019s a big bubble!\u201d and \u201cCan I pop one?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n 4 STARS **** [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial”

entertaining, artistic and cool!<\/p>\n Louis Pearl is extraordinary. Geek-ish in a good way, low-key and almost shy, he is not your usual energized, over-happy children’s theatre performer. Quite the opposite. Louis doesn’t try to hype up the kids or milk gags or applause. Instead this fascinating and passionate bubble-lover chooses to let the bubbles speak for themselves. He could also be described as an accessible scientist who creates performance art, or an unusual visual artist who creates science.<\/p>\n While it’s essentially a solo show, a well-positioned onstage cameraman and large screen, ensure everyone fully appreciates the process, as well as the end result, by capturing every detail. Louis surrounds himself with a simple, funky set made up of bright gobos and projections, which conjure up a mad scientist’s lab. The show starts and ends with a rainfall of gentle bubbles cascading into the front of the auditorium.<\/p>\nedinburghfestivalsforkids<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n
