Kids Party Entertainment Perth WA
Hire entertainment for a kids party, a family fun day or a school holiday program in Perth, Western Australia. A live comedy rap show where the children call out the words and every rhyme is made up on the spot.
Check Availability →A kids entertainer the adults stay in the room for
Most children's entertainment asks the parents to stand at the back and wait it out.
This one does not. Macshane is a freestyle rap comedian, and the entire show is built live out of whatever the children shout at him. A dinosaur, a teacher's name, a pet, the birthday child, the word broccoli. Thirty seconds later it comes back as a rap, and nobody in the room has heard it before, including him.
As a children's entertainer he is an unusual booking: a Britain's Got Talent 2026 semi-finalist who took the children's version of this show, 123 RAP!, to a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe. The same show runs in a library, a shopping centre, a community hall, a function room or on a council stage, across Perth, Western Australia and regional WA.
Three ways it gets booked
Family fun days and community events
Family fun days, community festivals, markets, Christmas events, Children's Week, NAIDOC Week and council activations. A show that holds a mixed family crowd outdoors or in a hall, plus roving between sets if the program needs filling.
School holiday programs
School holiday entertainment for libraries, council programs, shopping centres and vacation care. One session or a run of them across the break, and multiple sites in the same day where the venues are close enough.
Parties, with a shape
Birthdays and family celebrations are welcome where there are around 40 guests or more and a venue with room to perform: a function room, a community hall, a club, a rec centre or a marquee. Below that, a backyard party is not what this show is built for and you will get a straight answer rather than a quote.
Not sure which one you are? Say what the day is, roughly how many people and where it is being held, and you will get a straight answer about whether this is the right act for it. The show itself, with the full description and the reviews: 123 RAP!, the all ages show →
How it runs
There is no per-child charge and no headcount loading. One fee covers as many children as the space holds, so a bigger crowd never costs more. A run of sessions across a school holiday period, or a festival season of several shows, is priced lower per show than a single booking.
An hour is the standard. A shorter set works on a festival or shopping centre stage, and two performances in a day is a normal booking rather than an exception.
No stage, no screen, no setup day and no technical rehearsal. A PA suited to the room and a way to play music is all it needs, and Macshane owns a PA and can bring it where a venue has none.
The children call out words, objects, names and whatever else they think will be impossible. Those become the show. Nothing is pre-written and nothing is repeated, so the birthday child, the town or the library holiday theme is in it by name.
Written and performed for a family audience. Clean language, nothing suggestive, nothing a parent has to explain afterwards.
Based in Perth, Western Australia, and booked across regional Western Australia including the Pilbara, Kimberley, Goldfields, Mid West, Wheatbelt and South West, plus interstate and internationally.
“Macshane was brilliant with the children and boy is he talented.”

Family audiences, already played
“As a family with different aged kids, it can be hard to find something we can all enjoy together, and adult shows aren't always accessible as a parent. 123 RAP! is clearly aimed at families, and while the kids absolutely loved it, I think we loved it even more. Mac Shane is brilliant with shy kids and reads the room well. We're a neurodivergent family and this was a huge hit for all. Funny, engaging, and confidence-boosting for the kids. Not to be missed!”
Jessica B., audience review, FRINGE WORLD Perth
“This was a highlight of our Fringe experience. Thoroughly enjoyed by us all (kids aged 7, 5, 3 plus parents and grandparents!). Macshane was brilliant with the children and boy is he talented. He deserves to be playing to a far bigger audience in a much larger venue, so it was a genuine privilege to be able to witness his talent in such close proximity and for our children to be able to get involved as they did. Highly recommend! 5 stars from us.”
Helen, audience review, Edinburgh Fringe 2026
“What a brilliant experience watching kids work together against Macshane. Love the encouragement and moto behind the show, encouraging kids to be creative and do something they are passionate about. Something so different for my son to experience, he had ball and thought it was hilarious. Down to earth genuine guy, connects with the audience (adults and kids) amazingly and felt inspiring to our younger generation.”
Mhairi Young, audience review, Edinburgh Fringe 2026
“Excellent show! Lots of energy, and great interaction with children and adults. It was the first thing my 6 year old grandson told his parents about when we returned to them after a full day at the Fringe! Good start to learning about rhyming too. Rap 123! is definitely on my list for next year's Fringe!”

What parents and coordinators ask
How much does a children's entertainer cost in Perth?
It is one flat fee per show rather than a charge per child, so the size of the crowd never changes the price. A single booking in the Perth metropolitan area is the base. Regional Western Australia carries a travel loading, and a run of sessions across a school holiday period, or several performances at a festival, is priced lower per show than a one off. Send the date, the venue and the kind of event and you will get a figure.
What ages is it for?
It is built for primary-age children and the adults with them. Younger children get the noise, the colour and the chance to shout something out, and the parents and grandparents get the comedy of watching their own suggestions turned into rap on the spot. For a teenage cohort, the school incursions and presentations are the better fit.
How long is the show?
45 to 60 minutes is the standard. A shorter set works on a festival or shopping centre stage, and two performances in the same day is a normal booking rather than an exception. Roving between performances can fill a longer program.
What space and power do you need?
Somewhere the audience can gather, a power point, and a PA suited to the room with a microphone and a way to play music. There is no stage requirement, no screen and no setup day. Macshane owns a PA and can bring it where a venue has none, so a hall, a library floor, a marquee, a shopping centre atrium or a grassed area all work.
Do you travel outside Perth?
Yes. Regional Western Australia including the Pilbara, Kimberley, Goldfields, Mid West, Wheatbelt and South West, plus interstate and internationally. Regional bookings carry a travel loading, and lining up several towns or venues in the same trip brings the cost per show down.
Is the show clean?
Yes, by default. It is written and performed for a family audience: clean language, nothing suggestive and nothing a parent has to explain on the way home. Tell him anything that is off limits for your crowd and it stays out.
Do you have a Working With Children Check?
Yes, a current Western Australian Working With Children Check. The card details are provided on request and go with the booking paperwork.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes, public liability cover and an ABN, both provided on request. Councils, libraries, shopping centres and schools normally want the certificate before they confirm, so it is sent with the paperwork rather than waiting to be chased.
How far ahead should we book?
School holiday programs are usually locked in four to eight weeks before the break, and summer programs are written in October and November. Council family fun days and community festivals are often programmed several months out. Private events tend to be the shortest notice of the three. The only real constraint is whether the date is already taken.
