February 12, 2026Captain Red a definite winner!
We had such fun with Captain Red at the party! He has more energy then the kids. I don't know how he dose it. The adults had as much fun if not more. I would recommend him.

November 27, 2022Highly Recommend!
We had our son’s 5th birthday party. We had around 40 children and Captain Red kept them entertained the entire time! The kids loved the balloons, face painting, magic, poppers, and the treasure hunt. He did an amazing job making our son feel very special on his big day. Everyone raved about how fantastic Captain Red was. We would highly recommend him! Thank you Captain Red! You exceeded our expectations!

If I could give more than 5 stars! We all loved Captain red. He came from a long trip to our house for our daughter’s birthday. He was on time, very professional and funny! I was also amazed that we got a Pete the cat stuffed animal 😍. The good reviews he has and experience doing this for so long brought us a wonderful time. If you want to hire him, don’t doubt it !
Thank you Captain red for making my daughter’s party memorable.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We deeply appreciate it! We are so glad that everyone enjoyed Captain Red's entertainment from the kids to the adults. Since you were having Pete the Cat theme for your daughter's birthday event, we wanted to give a gift that tied to her party theme. Captain Red does his best to make the child feel extra special on his or her birthday and so glad your daughter enjoyed it! Captain Red brings smiles, laughter, and great memories to his events. Again, thank you so much for the heartfelt review!

December 8, 2019Amazing Children’s Entertainer
All the kids loved Captain Red. He was so wonderful and we were very impressed of how well he did the kids. We had kids of different ages and he did amazing with different age groups and kept them so entertained. He took time with each one when making balloons and face painting. His Magic Show and Treasure Hunt were also a great success and all the kids loved it. I just have to say he did such an amazing job and provided such fun-filled entertainment to the kids at our party. The adorable rabbits were also a great success with everyone. They are just the cutest and the birthday girl and everyone just loved them.
Thank you again Captain Red for bringing such joy at our party! Everyone at our party from babies to adults loved the entertainment he provided! We are very happy that we found him on this website! He made our party so much more fun and brought tons of joy to everyone there!

What to expect
The children will have fun and be excited about the activities. The adults will be swept away back to being children and having fun with his or her children.
I will experience the pleasure of knowing that I provided the best performance for the adults and children when I see their happy smiles and joyous laughter!
About
I have lived in Tampa for 25 years and 23 years as a children's entertainer. I have 4 grown children that sometimes aide me in my performances. Recently, relocated to East Coast (New Smyrna Beach) to be with family. I have expanded my services to include this area. I have several costumes, however, my most noted is Captain Red. I'm also a magician, face painter, and balloon artist. I book at an hourly rate with a deposit. At your request, I can perform with additional crew members or solo. In addition, I do work on holidays and evenings.

Influences and inspiration
I have performed as Santa for the past 10 years at a family's Christmas Eve Party and have seen the children grow up and turned into lovely adults. Now they are starting new lives and I am entertaining their children. This is what it's all about - family.
