Overview
As you probably guessed from the name, Toby the Balloon Dude is a family entertainer specializing in balloon entertainment, balloon sculpture, balloon twisting, balloon art - whatever you'd like to call it! As a balloon artist, Toby not only provides entertainment to the recipient of the balloon creation but to everyone around as they watch the creations being made in a magical atmosphere where ladybugs smile and dinosaurs still roam the earth. Toby isn't your father's balloon man. No one-balloon, three-twist doggies, but animals that look like animals, flowers that look like flowers, swords that look like swords. His Big, Crazy Hats, with all sorts of loops, twists, curls, and antennae.

Toby was a huge hit at our elementary school event! His creations were top notch, he dressed for fun, and he was great with the kids! Additionally, he was professional and easy to work with. I would without a doubt recommend him to any group looking for this type of entertainment at their event.

Response from Toby the Balloon Dude:
Joni, Thank You and your staff for allowing me to entertain at your event. It was a fun time.
He truly is the best out there for the money. We had him for a corporate event and everyone loved him so we had him for a private Christmas party. His attention to the needs of the audience can’t be beat. At the end of his balloon show, there was a 5 year old girl and her balloon popped right before he was about to leave. He stopped and unpacked his balloon apron and made this near crying little girl's day as he made her a new, bigger creation. Totally above what was expected. Well done Toby. Thank you. We will be hiring him again. Like I said before he is the best out there. And well worth the price.

Toby was great to work with. We hired him to work at our celebration. He was very flexible throughout the day with extra requests. The kids really liked him and he is definitely friendly and easy to work with. His balloon art was just amazing. I have been asked to forward his contact information to several of the people that were in the attendance. I would hire him again!!

Toby provided great entertainment for the kids (and the adults!) at our company anniversary party. We enjoyed watching him transform balloons into pieces of art. He offered a wide variety of pieces and did a great job accommodating to children of all ages. The kids are already asking if we can have him come back!
