Ricky Roo and Friends puppet show is an absolute must! Chris was very friendly and even talked with some of our kids while setting up and breaking down. We had them come out for a group of 60 children ages 1.5-10 and about 15 babysitters that are teens and adults. They did not disappoint. They kept everyone engaged and laughing. They even made the puppet show more personalized by incorporating names from the audience. With any entertainment communication is key and they kept me informed every step of the way which was great. I will definitely be booking with them again.

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are so happy that everyone had such a good time!
Have you ever seen 20 toddlers sitting completely at attention, alternating between mesmerized wonder and infectious giggles--for 45 consecutive minutes? No? I have! Chris from Ricky Roo gave an AMAZING puppet show at my daughter's 3rd birthday today. I loved how he started the show out with some "personal" time with the puppets--he brought a few puppets out from behind his stage so the kids could feed, pet, and talk to them. It really got the little ones comfortable. From there, he gave a show that actively engaged all of our little guests and made my daughter feel so, so special. The other parents and I actually got time to chat and enjoy ourselves, too. It was a great day! Thanks very much to Chris and the whole Ricky Roo team. You guys are the best! :)

I hired Ricky Too for a birthday party with about 20 people in August 2022.
Over great! Wonderful entertaining and funny show. I like how he incorporated a story and the characters with my children names and that made them feel special.
He was on time, friendly, and very organized! He interacted with the kids before the show and was very professional.
This is the type of show kids and families will remember for years to come. The overall experience will elevate any event or birthday party. I can’t say enough about how happy I am with Ricky Roo and friends. Book them and you won’t be disappointed.

Ricky Roo and his puppet crew had ~20 kids enchanted. The kids loved the show and were happy participating. Chris was great - everything was well planned and we didn’t have to lift a finger.
I’d highly recommend Chris for a kids event.

We celebrated our daughter's sixth bday with Ricky for kids entertainment. He reached out to me for the preparation couple of weeks prior to the event and followed up in a timely manner. He customized the puppet show as per my daughter's hobby and liking. He engaged kids for 45 mins to an hour while parents were having dinner. He came on time, did his setup, and was ready to start the show. The setup, puppets and voice-over was fantastic. I will highly recommend Ricky if you are looking for an entertainer.

I highly recommend Ricky Roo & Friends!! He did a birthday party for my daughter's 7th Birthday, and she loved it so much. I've seen several of Ricky Roo's puppet shows over zoom, and seeing it in person was so fantastic! All of the kids and many of the parents were engaged in the fun music and creative storyline. We loved how the puppet show was personalized to include my daughter's interests, her family, and pets. Additionally, the whole process was so organized and easy. It was such a relief to know a whole part of the bday was taken care of and the kids would be entertained.

We love the puppet shows from Chris (Ricky Roo and Friends)! Our son has had his past 3 bdays (4, 5, and 6) with Ricky Roo! Chris goes out of his way to customize his script and puppets to make the bday kid feel extra special and to keep all his friends and their parents laughing. It is so cute and such a fun way to celebrate together. He is amazing and super talented! 5 stars for sure!

Ricky Roo and Friends puppet show was a big hit with the kids and parents at our daughter’s 5th birthday party. Chris’ show is really entertaining and he really gets the kids excited and into the performance. So many kids were calling out their responses to what the puppets were saying and asking and they were so excited to take pictures at the end. Our party was in the park and it attracted kids from other parties as well. It was really great to see so many kids really having a good time and laughing together. They really got into it!

We had Ricky Roo & Friends as a surprise show at our daughter’s birthday party recently. My daughter and her friends enjoyed the show on the day and loved it so much that they kept talking about it at school the next day. This is how we know that we had made a great decision! Chris is a very experienced and friendly entertainer who can read children and keep them entertained throughout his show. We highly recommend this puppet show to those planning to host a wonderful and memorable birthday party for kids.
We had Chris at our daughter's 6th birthday party. It was a HUGE hit! He tailored the show to our daughter and kept 15 kids laughing and interacting for ~hour. We were totally impressed. He also arrived right on time, was extremely professional and responsive in all correspondences, and was a delight to interact with. We will definitely be recommending Ricky Roo & Friends to others. Thanks for making my daughter's birthday party so special.
Response from Ricky Roo & Friends Puppet Shows:
Thanks so much for your kids words! I loved you party and to make all the kids happy!
We were scratching our heads to figure out what to do for our three year olds birthday party. We did a Google search and found ricky roo- what a bit! The kids loved the music and all the puppets. They also loved the after show with the goat. Patents also sat with their kids and enjoyed the show. We still likely have him come again! Don't hesitate to support this business!

Thanks so much for your amazing review! I had such a great providing my silly birthday party entertainment with my super silly puppet show!
We celebrated today our son’s 4th birthday. It was his first party and most of the kids attended for the first time a birthday party as well. Chris made it absolutely special and unforgettable for our son and his friends. He was able to capture everybody’s attention, from the youngest to the adults, for the entire time of the show.
Chris is extremely professional, the booking process was an ease, and he was very kind in accommodating multiple changes due to our schedule.
I expected his show and talent to be outstanding based on reviews I had read, but he absolutely exceeded our expectations. We were amazed how he was able to incorporate two of my son’s stuffed animals we gave to him a few minutes before the show. Chris paid so much attention to the details of the questionnaire we had submitted which made the show very personal.
I already started advertising Chris to friends and we got so much positive feedback from our guests.
I am 100% recommending Chris and we are so grateful that he shared his talent with us.
Response from Ricky Roo & Friends Puppet Shows:

Thank you so much for your awesome review!
We hired them for our son's 6th birthday party. Chris came right on time and did his setup. Kids in the party were running around, but as soon as he started the show, they came running. After that our party area was filled was just one sound for an hour, loud laughs of these kids! My son was so excited, he was literarily levitating over his chair :)
We had a blast and we highly recommend them!
Thanks Ricky Roo and Friends for making this birthday extra special.
Response from Ricky Roo & Friends Puppet Shows:
Thanks so much for your review! I had a lot if fun too! Happy birthday again!
Ricky Roo saved our holiday party in Dec. 2021 and we were so appreciative, we asked him to come to our school in February 2022. The children LOVE his funny show. He named puppets after the children so they could relate and it made it so much sillier. We will certainly have Ricky Roo and Friends back again.
Response from Ricky Roo & Friends Puppet Shows:
Thank you so much for your amazing review! I love that I could save your holiday party! See you soon!
Ricky Roo is awesome! He put on a customized zoom puppet show today for my daughter and her friends. They all loved it and stayed engaged the whole time which is no easy task with a 2 year old and a bunch of almost 2 year olds. He was very personable and really made my daughter feel special. All of the adults were entertained too. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for some great entertainment for your kiddos.

This is me, Chris, and I am the founder of Ricky Roo & Friends Puppet Shows. I am a Stay-At-Home Dad also a preschool teacher in Oakland, CA. I started doing puppet shows as part of my classroom curriculum many years ago. I quickly fell in love with the open-ended nature of puppetry! It engages and connects people with simple truths. While it sparked my student’s imaginations, it also sparked mine. I began spending my free time dreaming up new worlds, characters, and stories.
