I had doubts as to whether my nearly 2 year old could sit still for an hour but she was absolutely captivated by this show (as were we!) and didn’t want it to end. Impressive bubbles with a relaxed atmosphere. Children of all ages were enthralled by Ray Bubbles and he was really good at both working all through the audience (rather than just staying at the front) and ensuring every child that wanted to interact got a turn.
***** Excellent Show - we absolutely loved it yesterday. Ray is amazing and treats each and every child so kindly - Michaela Downey (audience member, Belltable Theatre, Limerick, 21st June 2025)
***** A brilliant performance for all ages. Everyone in the theatre was laughing, cheering, popping bubbles and eagerly awaiting for what the bubble master was going to do next! Even some of the audience members were lucky enough to help out on stage and I even got the chance to be inside a bubble myself, which is a very niche thing to say. - William (audience member, Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, 30th March 2025)
***** Ray Bubbles performance might be the best thing I've seen so far in 2025! Absolutely wild skills, theatrics and stage presence. Had the crowd right along there with him every step of the way. Such beautiful, joyful comedy alongside a ridiculously skillful and delicate act. Big time disco!
