About Smartie Artie

Downloads :


Smartie Artie is the children's entertainer of choice for London and the Home Counties.

The show is made up of comedy magic, balloon modelling, puppets and games.
The full 2 hour party is standard but a 1 hour show is certainly possible.
We also have the best children's disco parties, face painters and even a magic workshop party.

Smartie Artie provides the best in traditional children's entertainment at reasonable cost.

Paul Spencer is a member of Equity and The Mystic Ring magic Society.
With over 40 years experience entertaining children and is a close up magician for amazing fun magic for the grown-ups!

Tony Howes is Smartie Artie no 10. And has been entertaining as a Smartie Artie since 2003.
He is also a fine comic actor.
Guaranteed fun at all his parties!
Lenny Williams is Smartie Artie no 11 and has been a Smartie Artie entertainer since 2003 and has been Lenny with his Saturn Sounds disco for more years than I can count.
Always a hit party entertainer!

We provide traditional children's entertainment for young children including comedy magic and ventriloquism. Also we can entertain older children with our Magic workshops and Discos. The Magic workshops involves the children learning the craft of magic from a veteran of the art, Paul Spencer. Paul has taught many children easy to learn but amazing to see magic tricks. However, if your child wants to dance the night away then Lenny and his Saturn Disco will provide a brilliant disco service.

Smartie Artie's clients are often gained by recommendation. Parents, schools, nurseries and playgroups and PTA groups are regular users of our service. Local authorities would often book for public events and we provide entertainment for corporate clients.

We have provided entertainment for a well know airline at their family fun day.
Smartie Artie and face painters have appeared at the Lydeker Park teddy bears picnic event ran by Harpenden town council. Smartie Artie features at the Lord Mayors children's party at the Mansion House.

We are based in Bedfordshire but are not just a local entertainer. We are more than happy to travel and do cover a large area including London, Surrey, Sussex, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.

We had Smartie Artie for my granddaughters 5th birthday on Sunday 19th February. He was great and kept the children entertained and went above and beyond. Thank you.

Had Smartie Artie for my sons 5th birthday party, smartie artie was absolutely fantastic. From beginning to end he was amazing with the all the children, had them all engaged and entertained throughout. All of the parents were very complimentary and were saying how good he was. He had all of the children involved in activities and entertained them throughout food time too! All the children were giggling away throughout the whole party! He certainly was not clock watching or in a hurry to go at the end. He was very professional and made my sons party one to remember. Would definitely recommend! Thanks so much we really appreciated how wonderful you were with us all! .Moreexpand_more

We went to to a friend's child's birthday party with our 4 years old son. The entertainer was busy entertaining the kids and in a few occasion my son tried to interact with him, but he seemed to ignore my son. When he was making balloons in animal shapes, my son again went to ask for one. He seem to ignore my son and when he saw my son was still waiting, he made a comment 'Ah, you are still here ! ' but still did not give him any animal balloons. I even took video recording to the interaction as I was happening to film the event. He might be good at doing tricks but I give zero for interactions or understanding of children. Definitely not someone I will have at my party or recomend him !

Smartie Artie number 10 (Tony) did our twins birthday party yesterday. There were 22 children and they really enjoyed the show. I liked the fact he called the night before the party to talk through what he usually does and also checked in with us at the party to check we were happy. Highly recommended.

We have used Smarties Artie on a number of occasions and I actually specifically requested no10 I think he was. As usual he was punctual, well organised and well equipped for my daughters 7th birthday. He kept the girls and boys absorbed and fully entertained for the duration of the party including while they were eating and they were laughing all afternoon, as were the parents. He adapted the party to his audience well and kept them moving around, dancing, turning plates and balloon sculpting. Definitely money well spent. Thanks again Smartie Artie for another excellent party.

Paul arrived on time. Even though the party started late he was patient and very professional. The kids were very happy and had great fun with his games and songs and his bunny. Thank you so much for your great service!

Smartie Artie number 8 was an absolute star at my daughter's fifth birthday party. He was an absolute professional with complete control of 24 five and four year olds. They were captivated, enthralled and fabulously entertained. I can't praise Smartie Artie enough - watching him was like watching Roger Federer in his pomp: controlled, effortless mastery of his art. The children and adored him and the adults are still recycling his jokes, but with less impressive comic timing. He didn't just entertain but made the whole party run incredibly smoothly, moving the children to tea, organising and cajoling, and his timing was perfect. I was also very impressed with how he welcomed newcomers, brought shy children into the group and made sure everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you very much smartie Artie number 8. You were a marvel!

Dear Smartie Artie. I can not thank you enough for providing such great entertainment to 18, 4-5 year old children in celebration for my son James birthday. You pitched it just right as they were all including the parents focused on the variety of funny things you did. I had lots of positive comments from the parents and will definitely use you again.

Smartie Artie are fantastic! Number 8 has entertained at two parties of ours now and we can't fault him. Arrives early, totally professional and most importantly the kids love him!

Smartie Artie 10, Tony Howes, performed at our community event for over 300 children and their families. He was so full of energy and fun. The children really got involved and participated in all the right places. Mums and dads were engaged too. He provided wonderful roaming entertainment as well as two shows. "Smartie Pants? " "NO! Smartie Artie! " What a performer!

I booked Smartie Artie at the last minute just 4 days before our twins 4th birthday party and I am so glad I did. He entertained the kids as soon as the first arrival entered our house and kept all the children entertained for the full 2 hours. Well worth the money for the stress free experience it created for me.

Amazing experience for my boys! They were asking to have Smartie Artie since one party they attended. Incredible value for money. See you next year!

We had Smartie Artie number three and he was brilliant! My son was laughing non-stop and he had all the attention of all the children. My older son had Smartie Artie number seven when he was four and he still remembers and talks about him four years later. I think it'll be the same this time too! A great success, thank you!

Absolutely brilliant. Smartie Artie kept twenty plus children fully entertained for two hours. I videoed a bit of it and my two children (aged 3 and 4) sit glued to my computer watching it on repeat, still squealing with laughter as much as they did on the day. Thank you for making the whole party so easy for me and so memorable and fun for the children.

I booked Smartie Artie for my daughter’s 5th Birthday Party and so glad I did. Smartie Artie (No 3) was on time and once set up, introduced himself to the children whilst they were still with their parents. The fun started there. For the whole two hours Smartie Artie kept 20 4/5 year olds enthralled and even had time to magic a real live bunny! It was wonderful to hear the children laughing real belly laughs and watching them all fully joining in with the fun. Smartie Artie even helped with teatime. I was also impressed that Smartie Artie’s ‘Pass the Parcel’ had fun stuff wrapped in the layers such as bracelets, duck blowers and other bits and pieces which didn’t involve sweets. Well done Smartie Artie you delivered exactly what was advertised on the tin – and as a result a great time was had by all. When dropping my daughter to school this morning I was approached by parents saying that their children had said that it was the best party ever, and my daughter? She thought it was fabulous too and wants to do it all again….Moreexpand_more

We had Smartie Artie for a 4th birthday party for our son. All the arrangements were easy, Smartie Artie was on time and he did a fantastic job entertaining 30 4 year olds for 2 hours! My son really enjoyed his party and would recommend.
