Nikolai can help you book as many acts as you need for your event, whether you are expecting a small and intimate group, or tens of thousands of people. When you invite your friends and neighbors to enjoy a special event, festive entertainers add that extra sparkle to make it spectacular. These accomplished professionals will give you what you need. Here are some of the exciting choices:
All ages
In his bright colored STILT WALKER costume, Nikolai is almost ten feet tall. Although he stands high above the audience, Nikolai interacts with them one-on-one, doing magic and juggling tricks. The very bravest of the audience members can even become part of the show as Nikolai juggles while walking directly over their heads. A brightly colored JUGGLING GIANT striding through your event is something your guests will remember with joy.
Teens and adults
As a comedian, Nikolai is colorful, dynamic, and always surprising.. This act is one-person-circus, and he breaks down the wall between the performer and the audience. The next "volunteer" might be your friend...or your date...or maybe even you!
All ages
In addition to all the entertainment on this page, Nikolai has a wide variety of entertainment available for the Christmas season for Halloween and other special days. Weekends in December book up quickly, so it’s best to start planning Christmas early.
Anyone who loves dinosaurs
Your jaw will drop in astonishment.. This roving character rides on a 17 foot tall dinosaur which is actually an elaborate part of his costume. The actor is a stiltwalker whose own legs are concealed inside the enormous costume. Take a look at a picture of Doris the Tyrannosaurus and you'll agree that this act is BIG!
