About Marky Jay's Monkey Magic Show

Marky Jay has been entertaining at children's parties across Bristol, Bath and the South West for over a decade with a show that is entirely his own - juggling, magic, plenty of silliness and his scene-stealing puppet monkey Steve. His classic sit-down show holds even the most excitable children rapt for a full half hour, and his parties build on it with circus skills, plate spinning, games and rapid-fire balloon modelling; parents regularly note the grown-ups enjoy it as much as the kids. He comes to your home, hall or venue and handles the room like the seasoned professional he is - recent reviews praise his planning, communication and knack for including every child. His feedback is flawless (a 5.0 Google rating and a stream of recent five-star reviews), though note his website has recently been rebuilt as a simple one-pager without published prices - so enquire for current rates and availability, and book ahead for weekends

  1. Ash GreyRating: 5/5

    Magical from the moment I stepped in the door! I wasn’t sure what to expect, I’d not seen magic before besides 90’s tv. I was captivated and wowed the entire time. Simons’ ability to capture the audience but also make a personal connection with each person was very impressive, as well as his quick thinking comedy made for a brilliant night. Location also helped, we were able to enjoy a nice evening out afterwards in bristols most desirable area 🪄

  2. Simon GodfreyRating: 5/5

    What a superb experience and an unbelievably enjoyable show. The intimate setting adds to the sense of not only being in the small audience but also being a real part of the show. Simon comedic timing and character make it a relaxed and really funny set and the magic is mesmerising. Throughout the show I was on the edge of my seat and thoroughly engaged and I couldn’t believe how quickly the time went. If you want a uniquely entertaining night out that is also totally memorable then go see the show- you won’t regret it. Thanks for a special evening

    What a great show! I loved every minute. Simon is a great magician and an amazing storyteller too and very funny, we laughed a lot! The magic tricks were superb, my favourite were the slight of hand ones!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such an amazing time at the magic show! It was not only exciting but also absolutely hilarious – we laughed the whole evening. This was our first proper night out together since our little girl was born, and it felt so good to relax and enjoy ourselves. The show was the perfect mix of fun, surprises, and great atmosphere. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out!

    I’ve been to a few shows at the Bristol Magic Theatre and it’s always a fantastic evening, the vibe and atmosphere of the place makes you want to come back. Every time I’ve been Si and his guests had new, exciting tricks and hilarious stories so it’s never boring. Check it out!
