Larkin' About
Gliding costumed character roaming entertainers.
Using the latest in electrically powered transport Larkin' About create effects never seen before.
Our Electroglide Angels and Floaty characters have the ability to zip forward and back, spin and glide in the most amazing way.
Audiences are moved the beauty, mystified by the exquisite movement and captivated by the experience. Accompanied by music, sound effects and absurdity.
Larkin' Abouts' Ghosts are based on the latest in 2 wheeled technology , the effect is amazing as they hover, spin and zip forward and backwards.
They have the ability to revolve 360 degrees in one place at various speeds . Each ghost has its own sound system for music and vocal effects. the arms of the ghosts go up and down.
There are three ghosts available although it is possible to book in pairs.
Larkin' About specialise in comedy stilt and ground based characters which combine high levels of skill and original ideas to create memorable street theatre. All their characters have been created with great attention to detail, and most use their in- stilt stereo system for both music and vocal effects.
Foxtrot Oscar - Oscar and his amazing puppet partner 'The Lovely Yolanda' will enthral as they trip the light fantastic at a Palais De Danse or street near you. Waltzes, Tangos and Foxtrots are all performed to wonderful 40's ballroom music played from their in-stilt sound system.
The proverbial rough diamond - big quiff, attitude and dodgy watches all set to rock and Rock 'n' Roll music from an in-stilt stereo.
Descend to the depths with these jovial deep sea divers. Unable to speak under water they communicate with signals and with wipeboards. Watch out for their leaky helmets. And if you ask them really nicely they might even show you their mussels!
The Divers have been seen at many a nautical event including: Portsmouth Festival of the Sera, Volvo Ocean Race, Liverpool Marine, Newark Wayer Festival.
Dithering with his dripping tray of the finest champagne and wriggling, spitting canapé he is the essential accompaniment to any function.
