History

Established in 2010.

I used to be the go-​to guy for a number of party companies for years, now I do parties exclusively on my own and provide a much better service and at a lower rate than the 3rd party companies out there that contract performers. And now I’m serving Northern California! With me you can expect nothing less than the best!

I’ve also been teaching in Special Education in the public school system since 2005, and I’ve been organizing educational programs with children around the world with my charity since 2006. So I have lots of experience with kids!

Hank is awesome! We recently had Spiderman come visit our birthday party and everyone was thoroughly entertained. He was great at involving the parents. Great sense of humor and considerate of allowing photo op moments. Would definitely recommend!

I can’t say enough great things in a review for Hank! My experience with him was great from beginning to end. He showed up to my son’s 3rd birthday party as Captain America and he was beyond expectation. Everyone (kids and adults) loved him.
He kept all the kids engaged and entertained, and I must admit some of the adults were also excited to be involved. He was really into his character and his positive energy kept everyone going at the party.
Immediately, right after he left. Other parents came up and wanted his contact info. That’s when you know your guests had a good time. Thank you, Hank for making Connor’s birthday such a fun and memorable one.

Hank was AWESOME!!! He did my son’s 5th Birthday as Batman and went above and beyond. His commitment to character and attitude was only unmatched by how well he entertained the kids and adults. This IS the guy you want.
*added edit* — Afterwards talking with parents who came they were very impressed especially the fact he included the adults in the fun and games.

Hank is simply amazing and convincing as the Mad Hatter! It was his first time playing this role and he nailed it. He is a true professional and very easy to work with and book and I truly appreciate that. He was convincing the moment he stepped into the zone till he left. Not all the kids at our party was familiar with the Mad Hatter but he soon got everyone to warm up to him — kids and adults alike.
We had him for 1.5 hrs and it was a blast. In the short amount of time, he managed to do balloon twisting, magic show, rally the kids together for a pic, all in mad tea party fashion.
I am glad he was able to come as the Mad Hatter since not all entertainers are quite as creative as him with a plethora of characters. And he even sang the unbirthday song. =)
Thanks Hank for making our party so fun-​tastic and tea-​riffic!

Saw him at a part in his ‘Pirate’ role. Full of energy, kept the kids going and definitely full of fun.
My kids have outgrown but I definitely recommend Hank.
Sure he would make it a fun filled party.

I picked Hank based on his reviews and was not disappointed. He came as a pirate and kept 40 kids entertained at my sons’ birthday party. The ages ranged from 4 to 10 years old. They had a lot of fun, it was cute to see them all follow him around. He made them some inflatable swords and they followed his every move through «pirate training», and after that he had many other activities up his sleeve. The parents were having fun too watching his act! He also kept the kids busy through «cake time», while the adults were busy cutting and giving out the cake slices, which was very helpful to avoid a stampede… A friend told me that after the party, when she was driving her kids home, they couldn’t stop talking about him and the fact that he was a «real pirate». Highly recommend. Great job, Captain Hank!

Hank aka «Batman» was a special guest at my 4-​year old’s birthday party. He was such a professional and was very easy to both book with and speak to! Since we live in San Bruno, we were thrilled that Hank was able to travel from Santa Cruz for our party.
The day before the party, we saw that the forecast predicted rain and asked Hank if he wouldn’t mind changing our session from 1.5 hours to 1 hour. Not a problem! He was very adaptable!
The day of the party, Hank «Batman» showed up right on time, and from the moment he knocked on the door to the moment he left to go back to «Gotham City», he did not drop character, even nailed the raspy Batman voice! Batman provided Justice League training, tug o’ war, hide and go seek, balloon making, and a magic show all in one hour on a rainy day and had everyone laughing the entire time! Kids and adults alike had a fantastic time and our guests were impressed.
This was the first time that we hired an entertainer for our son’s birthday, and I look forward to hiring him again next year!!! I highly recommend Hank for your upcoming party!

We invited Hank to my daughter’s 6th birthday. He looked and acted very real and for a minute kids even got a little anxious until Hank started balloon sword fight and a series of other games and they started laughing and running around.
He has a lot of energy and comes up with a variety of games to keep kids occupied and engaged. He is also very funny and it makes those games even more fun for all.
The parents got engaged as well and had a great time. My daughter asked if we could invite Hank back. Till the very end she believed he was a real pirate.
Thank you, Hank! We hope to have you join our future birthdays too.
Tips: prepare ziplock bags for treasure candies and have them handy. Labels maybe particularly useful as kids want to know whose candies are where. Also, have some mellow activity planned such as drawing a pirate while Hank is doing face painting. It is the only activity where kids who are waiting for their turn may have free time to roam so engaging them in something simple will help.

I had a good feeling about Hank (Batman) from the first time I spoke to him on the phone. He sounded accountable, personable, fun, and passionate about his job. Sure enough, he met and exceeded our expectations! He showed up on time to my son’s Birthday party. His Batman costume didn’t look cheap at all. The whole hour Hank sounded just like Batman. He engaged the adults and the kids. Our guests had so much fun. Then he incorporated fun games and balloon twisting. There was not a dull moment in that hour. My son was so pleased that we got hold of THE REAL Batman. We will definitely hire him again for future birthday parties.

Hank did a wonderful Buzz Lightyear performance at my son’s birthday party! He stayed in character the whole time and engaged the entire group children and adults with «cadet training» and old fashioned lawn games as well as balloon animals. It was a blast! He had a very friendly warm demeanor on the phone and great sense of humor at the party. I highly recommend Hank for quality tasteful entertainment!

So when my little boy had a birthday coming up– I had to figure out something different. It’s not every day a boy turns 4 you know. I thought about renting a hall, or doing the kids game area places, or a bounce house… But then I thought, why not look for something a little more special? I’m so glad I did! We hired «Spider-​Man» to come to my son’s school and put on a show for him and all his friends. Spidey was quite patient with us, and easy to work with. He came zooming into the class of 4 – 5 year olds and proceeded to lead the group of 40+ boys and girls through superhero training! All the kids were kept engaged and active the entire hour! I had the adults asking if he could come more often to help motivate the classes. He even helped corral all the kids back up when it was time for cupcakes! Thanks so much– will definitely keep you in mind for other parties– and I’m recommending you to all the parents asking!

We hired Hank to be a pirate for my daughter’s birthday party. He arrived on time, kept the kids entertained and had lots of tricks up his sleeve to keep the action going. Super professional and very talented. Will try either Superman or Batman next time!

Hank was awesome! He had the children so engaged that I felt there was not much left for me to do, but dance! I’m grateful for his ability to go with the flow. No prompting was needed and he was 100% the whole time!
Thanks Hank

We are new to this area and I found him on Unilocal.I trusted the reviews and went with him. That is is the best decision I’ve ever taken for party planning. He was just amazing, the best kids party performer I have ever seen. He comes like a super hero and leaves like one.
He was there for an hour and a half and had the whole audience (kids and adults) engaged through the whole time. He’s become quite an adults favorite as well. This is how close someone can come to playing a real character. Highly recommend! A+

Hank was the Superman at my son’s birthday party, and he was fantastic! He showed up on time, professional, and most importantly, he kept the kids and adults completely occupied. A bunch of kids actually followed him out of the party to see if he was going to fly away. Will definitely go back to him again for the next party.

Hank came to our 3 year old twin’s party as Superman and he was so amazing! He kept the 3 year olds entertained the entire 1.5 hours with balloons, bubbles, and «superhero training.» He was professional, on time, and stayed in character the whole time. He’s awesome! Would totally get him again since he has so many characters to offer :)

If I could give this business 10 stars I would! We hired Hank as Spider-​Man for my son’s birthday party during the Summer. Not only did he entertain the 16+ children at the birthday party but he entertained the adults as well. He showed up in character on time. We hired Spider-​Man for 1 ½ hours which gave all of us adults a nice long break to chat and relax.
He makes the children laugh and the adults as well. He is very energetic and charismatic. My boys still talk about him. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is very professional and responsible. Thank you Spider-​Man!
