FROLICK PROVIDES ROAMING ENTERTAINMENT (CLOWNS, STILTS, SCULPTURE AND FIRE)
Matthew Krist has quickly become the go-to Toronto stilter for Toronto and GTA and Southwestern Ontario events. He is equally adept at stilts ranging from 2 ft (acro-stilting) to 5 ft (super tall). He can juggle, hoola hoop and hop on one foot while playing the kazoo while stilting. The Frolick Costume stores include many different stilt walking characters, from King's to Beasts for all occasions and seasons. In addition, Frolick has a great team of stiltwalkers, site animators, puppeteers, clowns, dancers, singers, firespinners, jugglers and and musicians to enliven any event. Come to us to book your roaming entertainment, or contact us for site specific performance art for your weddings, festivals and events.
