Street Theatre Entertainment for Events
Street theatre brings performance directly into the heart of your event. Unlike traditional stage shows, these performances take place among the crowd, creating unexpected moments of entertainment and interaction.
In an age of Youtube and video editing street theatre offers a refreshing twist to an event’s entertainment. When interacting with a live crowd each and every showing is unique and in the moment.
Street theatre takes many forms from traditional “circle” shows to roaming walkabout or circus acts.
What Street Theatre Performers Bring to Events
Street theatre helps bring an ordinary space to life, whether that be through offering a world class show in an area your guests aren’t expecting it, or animating a large area with one of our roaming walkabout acts.
Street theatre comes in many forms, such as:
- Impromptu shows in an unexpected area, whether that be the garden or the literal street.
- Larger than life walkabout characters or stilt walkers, animating a large area of an event or greeting your guests in a creative way.
- Static ambient acts or installations that help bring an area to life.

Why Live Entertainment Works for Festivals and Events
Whether you’re organising a large outdoor festival, a town centre celebration or a themed event, our roaming performers help transform your venue into an engaging and vibrant environment.
With modern consumption of social media, live entertainment has become more captivating than ever. The tension of never knowing what is going to happen next offers your guests a refreshing respite from the polished and editted world of the internet.
Live entertainment can help make your event stand out in a miriad of ways, including:
- Creating a unique talking point for your guests, either as an icebreaker or a headline feature of the night.
- Animating a particular area of your event in order to draw a crowd at just the right time.
- Create lasting memories and perfect photo opportunities both for your guests and to help promote future events.
Our Approach to Creating Memorable Event Performances
At Megabeast Productions we have a passion for creating high quality unique acts. Each and every act you see on our website was one we actively helped devise and craft.
We believe that a live event performance should be more than just a flashy costume or a cool trick. With every act we create we look to not only lean on our decades of experience as entertainers, but also inject substance and thought provoking flavour.
We believe this is why our acts stand out from the crowd – they leave guests with more than just a unique photograph, they create memories.

How Street Theatre Performers Work at Your Event
We appreciate that you may never have booked a street theatre act before, and might have no idea what to expect. Here you can find a brief run down of how the day of the event will work when you hire one of our street theatre acts.
1) Street Theatre Performer Arrival
We’ll agree on an arrival time in advance of your event. Generally speaking this is one to three hours prior to the act’s agreed upon start time. If you require an earlier arrival for whatever reason, this can generally be accomodated.
Generally our street theatre artists will give you (or a designated individual) a call as they arrive, and ask to be shown to their changing area. The requirements for a changing area vary by walkabout act, but details can be found on individual act pages.
The performers will then unload the act into the dressing area and, if neccessary, move the vehicle to suitable parking.
2) The performers prep the act
The performers will do an inspection of the costumes to ensure everything is ready for their first street theatre set, as well as for any safety issues. Generally they will also inspect the performance area to ensure there are no safety concerns surrounding their performance.
We’ll begin getting in to costume between 15 and 30 minutes before our first performance to ensure we are ready in plenty of time.
3) The street theatre performance
The fun bit! Generally we will have agreed upon performance or set times prior to the event, though if you wish to tweak it on the day we can generally accomodate this within reason.
We welcome you to ask questions or make suggestions to the performers if something isn’t quite right. We want you to enjoy the performance as much as we do and make your event the best we can.
4) Packdown and goodbyes
Once all performances have been completed, our performers will pack down the act and coordinate with your event staff in order to safely unload their equipment.
Where possible we’ll make sure we take the time to wave goodbye!
