THE MASK FAMILY
★★★★★
"The English Bobbies were an absolute hit with audiences! The performers were incredibly entertaining and engaging! I would highly recommend them for any event! World Class!"
The 2018 Commonwealth Games

"We were looking for a way to liven up our local street parade and booked The Lollypop Ladies. The Lollypop ladies were a big hit with the crowds and added that perfect unique edge the parade lacked. The performers generously went above and beyond to interact with the crowd and stopped for many photos after the parade, something we were incredibly grateful for. A pleasure to work with and artistically unique -I'd recommend this world-class troupe for any public event!"
Douglas Shire Council
THE MASK FAMILY are an acclaimed ensemble of Queensland physical theatre performers, known for their spellbinding, non-verbal, roving acts, interactive installations, and stage performances. This dynamic ensemble, comprising specialist artists, excels in full-face nonverbal mask theatre, crafting performances that highlight the joy of human interaction and showcase the transformative power of kindness. Their art, which transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, deeply engages the hearts of audiences, connecting with them on a profound and visceral level. Renowned for enhancing the atmosphere at festivals, events, and venues across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, their ability to create a vibrant, engaging environment makes them a standout in physical theatre/comedy.
Acts are available individually or in combination, with the most effective presentation being as a trio. These acts can be booked throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Asia for festivals, shopping centres, product launches, parades, nightclubs, corporate events, and company Christmas parties...to name a few. Each act features an integrated sound system that plays music tailored to specific events, enhancing accessibility and audience enjoyment. This customization allows for themes such as German, French, Easter, Christmas, and more, fostering an atmosphere of joy, fun, engagement, laughter, and play.

"The Mask Family were a huge hit at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Public Viewing Events (Race Walk, Cycling Time Trial and Cycling Road Race). Many spectators stopped the 'tourists' for happy snaps and enjoyed a chin wag. At the same time, the Lollypop Ladies had the crowds' laughing and hopping' their way through the events, providing much entertainment for both the young and old (including myself)!"
