Need a unique gift for that special someone? We provide singing telegrams for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, thank-yous, and get-well wishes. Add some hilarity to your party!
Our costumes include the original Singing Lobster, the funky Maine Moose, and the Tango Dancer. Along with singing telegrams for celebratory events, we also do corporate events and private parties for adults, but we do not do children's birthday parties.
Balloons or flowers can be included in the telegram for an extra charge. Travel fees may apply.
Voice actor and performer Katherine Mayfield is an engaging presence who can charm an audio or in-person audience.
We hired the Singing Lobster for a birthday telegram, and she absolutely clawed her way to the top of our expectations! Her performance was shell-shocking (in the best way), leaving everyone in the room cracking up. She truly had us hooked with her epic vocals and hilarious puns—what a claw-some experience! If you're fishing for a unique way to make someone’s day, this lobster’s the real catch of the day. Ten claws out of ten! 🦞🎤

Kathleen was great! She brought lots of laughs to my husbands office!

Thanks for your great review, Cheryl! The group was a lot of fun. Good luck to you! - Katherine
Our family was thrilled with The Singing Lobster's professionalism. Such a heartfelt performance! Thank you, Singing Lobster for making a sister's birthday a great one!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
You're very welcome, Mary Ann! Your sister was a lot of fun. Thanks for the great review, and for the tip, too! Best, Katherine
The Singing Lobster changed her plans and was able to accommodate us in a pinch! We were trying to plan something memorable for our daughter’s 21st birthday, and a red lobster singing to her at our front door was the answer! Her reaction was priceless and the party guests, all enjoyed the surprise. We are so grateful this worked out and are thrilled we have this special memory. Highly recommend. :)
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the great review, Brenda! I loved singing for your daughter, and also enjoyed the love and laughter of your family. Have a wonderful New Year! - Kate
Awesome performance many laughs and smiles all around
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks for the great review, Melanie! They were really fun to sing for. Best, Katherine
Our sister turned 60 and we hired The Singing Lobster in Costume and she sang a birthday telegram. She was professional, very easy to work with and did an outstanding job!! I would recommend her for any event, she was really great!!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks for the great review, Cathy! You were easy to work with as well. Take care - Katherine
I wasn't able to attend the event, but I was able to send the Singing Lobster (Moose) in my stead. Everyone who could make it thought the Singing Moose did a great job. She was entertaining, engaging, and made the birthday boy laugh.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks, Tom! I think he really enjoyed it. What a great birthday present! My best to you - Katherine
My family surprised me for my 70th birthday with a lady dressed as a lobster who sang me Happy Birthday and a few other songs. It was fun and hilarious and made my70th birthday very memorable.
Thank you.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you, Nancy! I really enjoyed the event. Best of luck and good health to you! ~ Katherine
Katherine (the Lobster!) was very pleasant to work with, extremely reliable, and responsive to my last minute request for a gig. She even volunteered to pick up a birthday cake for our son because we could not get one delivered to him. She gave me a short rendition by phone of her lobster birthday song, and replied timely to my emails, and answered her phone live when available and helped me through some technical payment issues on my end. She called us right on schedule as agreed to alert us when she was about to walk into our son's restaurant so we could be on a FaceTime call when she arrived. I requested corny lobster jokes and she delivered corny lobster jokes and really hammed it up for our son's birthday. She went above and beyond and her fee was very reasonable.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the great review, Nancy! Awesome. Best of luck to you! ~ Katherine
Fast responses and fun time.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks for the great review, August! I enjoyed singing for Leo. Best wishes to you ~ Katherine
Ok so our silly friend who was told to be home…wasn’t. This amazing performer, who by all rights could have shrugged and left, instead went back later and made it happen. All while I was stuck on back to back calls with 0 chance of trying to wrangle the situation! Our friend loved every minute of her birthday serenade. Our little trio is scattered across the eastern seaboard so being able to make this fun and special meant everything. Suffice to say 100000% would hire again. Thank you-thank you-thank you singing lobster!!!
Also this was my first time using gigsalad and I was happy to find it was a quality site that was easy to use.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for your excellent review, Jessica! I'm glad traffic wasn't too bad so I could try again. Your friend seems like a lovely lady, and I enjoyed the telegram. Best wishes to you! Katherine
I had a great experience with the Singing Lobster! For my sisters 50th birthday, I wanted to do something unique. She worked with me (on short notice) to ensure she was able to go to my sister's school and safely help celebrate this milestone! We touched base several times and she was responsive and helpful. She also agreed to pick up flowers to give my sister when she arrived! My sister (and her whole high school math class!) loved the performance, and the students were looking her up online after she left! Would definitely highly recommend!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the awesome review, Stephanie! You were great to work with as well, and I had fun singing for your sister. Take care - Katherine
Erin enjoyed the surprise.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the review, Sharon! I enjoyed singing for Erin -- she's a great gal!
Katherine was a thoughtful singing telegram performance for our parents’ 47th Wedding Anniversary! She was incredible and brought us much joy!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the great review, Keisha! I enjoyed meeting you and your family, and your parents are wonderful. Best of luck to you! - Katherine
As a way to celebrate our CEO's first year at the helm, we sent The Singing Lobster! She arrived and he was floored to say the least! The song she sang was personalized and made his day!
Additionally, The Singing Lobster was SUPER easy to work with and flexible. I so appreciate that when we needed to adjust our timing slightly, she was happy to accommodate. I would absolutely recommend her!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the great review, Trevin! Your CEO seems like a great guy, and he said several times that he really appreciated his wonderful team. Best of luck to you! - Katherine
The singing lobster’s visit delighted our group!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Hey, Dan,
Thanks for the great review! I really enjoyed meeting you and your family. Stay well ~ Katherine
I snagged the Singing Lobster as a last minute suprise gift, she was able to deliver the ultimate suprise despite having trouble getting access to the penthouse apartment through no fault of her own. I would book her again for sure
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks for your great review, Deramise! Very kind of you. Wishing you all the best! - Katherine
Katherine did an amazing presentation. My parents were so happy and everyone loved her singing and interaction with the guests.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the awesome review, Vicky! Your parents were wonderful, and it was a great party! Best of luck to you. - Katherine
Katherine is amazing! I booked her to surprise my mother for Mother’s Day and she absolutely nailed it! She was very helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her for any occasion.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for your awesome review, Michael! It was nice working with you as well, and I wish you all the best! - Katherine
Katherine was extremely timely in returning all emails to answer my thoughts and questions.
She made sweet side-conversations and jokes with my sister before singing. This demonstrated that she had been a good listener when I'd told her about sisters wonderful qualities. The song she sang was done nicely! It was enjoyed by us all. Katherine was right on time! She was a dear! Thank you Katherine for helping me let sister know how special she is and my gratitude to her.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for your awesome review, Kristin! It was great to meet you, and I had fun delivering your message. Thanks also for the tip! : ) Wishing you a good year! - Katherine
Katherine was very personable and very knowledgeable she put everything we wanted and more into her presentation
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Karen, thank you for your wonderful review! They seem like a lovely family, and I hope you're all very happy together. Thanks for being so easy to work with! Best, Katherine
Great communication and a fabulous performance!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the wonderful review, Neil! I loved singing for the ladies! Wishing you all the best. - Katherine
Katherine made my mother’s 80th Birthday one to remember!! She sang and did a great routine in freezing conditions. My Mom was super surprised and thought it was a HOOT.
Book it and enjoy the show!!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the awesome review, Chip! Your mom was great to sing for, a very lovely lady. And thanks so much for the tip!! Very kind of you. Wishing you all the best in this New Year. - Katherine
The Singing Lobster came to cheer up our friend Nick for his birthday and made his day! She made it special and personalized and sang him a great little ditty! She even incorporated Nick’s dog Tate who was also very pleased & entertained by the singing lobster! Thanks so much for lifting everyone’s spirits during a challenging time on Earth! 🙏🦞❤️
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the awesome review, Mercedes! Nick was great, and I'm glad I could add a little cheer and make him smile during this difficult time. It was very kind of you to bring him some hilarity.
Best wishes to you for a nice holiday season! - Katherine
Sang a song and brought flowers while staying fifteen feet back, made my mother’s thanksgiving. Absolutely fabulous!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the awesome review, Erin! I was glad to entertain your mom, and hope you have a wonderful holiday season! - Katherine
I had her send a birthday to wish to someone when I couldn’t be there in person. She asked me a few questions to make it personal. Very good!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the awesome review, Loring! Nate was great to banter with, and seems like a really nice guy. Thanks for booking me, and have a nice holiday! - Katherine
We recently hired the Singing Lobster to bring birthday cheer to our mother. Because we live out of state we wanted to organize something unique that would bring some joy and fun. The Singing Lobster delivered! She took great care to get background details on our mother so she could make the song extra personal. We definitely recommend her to others!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the awesome review, Lindsay! Your mother was just lovely, Bob was very helpful, and we had a great time. I think you made her birthday very special! - Katherine
The Singing Lobster came to my rescue for Mother's Day. At a time when we are in SIP lock down, she was willing to get on a ZOOM call (to remain socially distant) with my family and serenade my Mom with joy, love and talent. I really wasn't sure what she was going to do, but she was so sweet. My Mom couldn't have been happier. Nor could I. I highly recommend the Singing Lobster for any occasion.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for this awesome review, Jay! I really enjoyed meeting you and your mom on Zoom, and being part of your Mother's Day celebration. All my best to you! - Katherine
Really appreciate the Singing Lobster coming out! It was a lot of fun!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks for the great review, Christine! It was fun to be at your outdoor "office party" and sing for Pat! I enjoyed meeting you, and wish you the best of luck! - Katherine
She was prompt and absolutely a good sport. It was obvious we were embarrassing a friend in his birthday and she played along perfectly.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Awesome! Thank you for the great review, Geoff! I had a good time, and was glad to spread some cheer. - Katherine
Katherine was very helpful patient with me during planning! She was responsive to emails and that made the process flow with ease. Although I wasn’t there I heard the singing telegram was great. She even sang a customized song! Thank you :)
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for your awesome review, Michelle! The birthday lady was quite shy and hid behind a doorframe while I sang, but she was smiling and laughing the whole time, and I know she enjoyed it and appreciated your thoughtfulness. Best of luck to you! - K.
Very friendly!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks for the great review, Ash! And thank you for the tip as well -- much appreciated! Your mom was wonderful to sing for. Best of luck to you! - K.
My last minute request was met cheerfully and with great execution. My brother- in- law was very excited to be sung to by a lobster! I will refer and recommend with delight!
Thank you.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the great review, Cissy, and for the awesome tip! I appreciated it very much! He was so fun to sing to... Wishing you all the best! - Katherine
Truly was an amazing day, only made better by our friend from the ocean. Brought much joy on a special birthday.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you, Michelle! It was so heartwarming to see Luke's family gathered around him for his birthday, and I enjoyed meeting you!
If there's anything I could have done better, please let me know -- I'm always looking to improve. : )
-Katherine
To use, the site & email navigating was easy with no stress. The entertainer arrived promptly and provided a great service.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks, Andre! It was a lot of fun! - Katherine
I wasn’t there but everyone said it was fantastic and very enjoyable.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks, Edna! Jaye was wonderful, just as you said, and I think she really enjoyed her birthday present!
I recently hired the Singing Lobster for a private event. Communication was excellent, she arrived precisely on time and provided the exact entertainment that I requested. I am 100% satisfied. Thank you!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Awesome -- thank you, Ben! I had a really fun time, and you were excellent to work with as well. Ayuh! : )
I gave Katherine 2 stars instead of 1 as I felt that she was great with communication leading up to the event and my 4 year old son at first glance was excited (later he spoke about how it was just a person in a costume) I should have asked more questions. The costume was a kid-size costume so it did not fit appropriately. She has glasses and had a wrist brace due to a sprain so that took away from the costume. A family member could have done the same thing and for free due to the lack of a professional feel. She did say that she has never done the Spider-Man character before and perhaps going forward it’s best to stick with what she’s most comfortable with.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
I'm sorry you were disappointed, Ashley. The costume was the best I could find on short notice, and the wrist brace was my way of opening the conversation with kids of "Don't jump off buildings like Spiderman does." The glasses I can't help.
I appreciate your sharing your thoughts. It was a fun party.
Katherine

A great job done by the singing moose at our party! Katherine was a pleasure to work with with and showed up exactly on time. She helped us plan a fun customized singing telegram for my Mom's 60th birthday celebration. Everyone was tickled by the whole thing. Thank you, Katherine for adding a fun and unexpected surprise to our event.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you for the awesome review, Lindsay! Your Mom was wonderful to sing for, and I had a lot of fun!
Katherine created a telegram and performed with just a few days notice. She was great!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks, Brandi! Dave seemed suitably impressed and embarrassed, and you were great to work with!
Great communication with preformer , awesome show, the perfect thank you/ Father's day gift! Thank you!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Awesome -- thanks, Amy! Your dad was great to sing for -- seems like a wonderful guy!
The singing lobster was great. What I most liked is she had a prior convo via phone so we can discuss logistics and be on the same page and I would be comfortable with my booking. She did a great performance for my mom especially with the fine details. Thank you!!!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks, Melissa! You were great to work with, and your mom was a joy to sing for!
Katherine was great to work with. She was prompt with her responses to my inquiries and was creative with her lyrics and presentation. I was expecting a bit more with the costuming, but her personality shone through. My dad and all in attendance were entertained and that was truly what I was hoping for. Thank you, Katherine!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks, Jen! I truly enjoyed being a part of your family celebration, and your dad was a really good sport.
I booked the Singing Lobster to surprise my friend on Valentines Day on her date with her boyfriend and I was more than pleased with the experience. When communicating with Katherine, she was very responsive and flexible when I had to change times on her. She was able to have fun with my friend before singing making the interaction more joyful. If available, I will definitely book the Singing Lobster again when I want to tell my friend just how special she is!
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Princi! I really enjoyed singing for your friend, and you were easy to work with as well. I'll look forward to hearing from you again!
Katherine
Easy to communicate with and delivered a fiv experience as promised.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks, David! Leslie was great to sing for. I enjoyed it!
Singing lobster was funny, professional and entertaining.
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Thanks, Alejandra! The birthday guy was entertaining, too! I had a great time.
Great, easy to communicate prior to event
Response from The Singing Lobster:
Awesome! Thanks, Alejandra! It was a lot of fun!
It was great. I would just say if she had come in singing it would have been even better:)
