7 Best Event Entertainer & Mascot Hires in Singapore (2026)

Start with the type of act and where it works. Roving entertainers, magicians, balloon sculptors, face painters, caricaturists, stilt walkers, move through a crowd and are perfect for a carnival or cocktail hour where there is no fixed stage. A stage magician or an emcee suits a programmed event with an audience, and a mascot is the easy photo draw for a family or brand event. Match the act to your format.

Then quality and fit. Ask to see a showreel or recent event photos, and check the performer is comfortable with your audience, a children's magician and a corporate close-up magician are different skills. For a branded event, confirm whether the company can supply or dress a specific mascot character, and whether the emcee can host bilingually if you need it.

On cost, roving entertainers are usually priced per performer per hour or per session, commonly around S$200 to S$500, with mascots and emcees quoted per appearance and premium or celebrity acts higher. Ask what is included, travel, costume, props, and how long the set runs, so you can compare fairly.

Big Top is my top pick for a varied line-up from one vendor. Their roster runs across magicians, jugglers, balloon artists, emcees, stilt walkers, caricaturists and live mascots, so you can book a whole fringe programme, a roving magician plus a balloon sculptor plus a mascot, without chasing several agencies.

Because they also supply the games, food and equipment, the entertainers can be one line on a full event order. A convenient, dependable choice when you want several acts covered together.

FunCo is the pick when the entertainers are part of a full carnival. Their magicians deliver interactive illusions and comedy tailored to children or family audiences, and they also supply emcees and roving mascots, all bookable alongside their 200-plus game booths and arcade machines.

For a family day where you want a magician and a mascot in the same order as the games, that one-stop convenience is genuinely useful. A strong choice for entertainers within a bigger setup.

Happier Singapore is my pick for mascots and costumed characters. Mascot rental is a dedicated service for them, alongside balloon sculpting, close-up magic and emcee and party-host services, so if the mascot is the centrepiece of a family or brand event, they are set up for it.

With over a decade of experience and clients including Google and various ministries, they bring a polished, styled approach. A good choice when a mascot leads the entertainment.

Eventguru is a strong pick for roving fringe entertainment. Their entertainer line-up covers balloon sculpting, emcees, mascots, roving jugglers and roving magicians, the classic fringe acts that keep a carnival or roadshow lively, and they pair it with their inflatables and party rentals.

As an experienced islandwide operator, they are a reliable single source for the fringe acts around a family day. A good choice for roving entertainment.

Bella Entertainment is the pick for a curated, coordinated line-up. Their roster spans magicians, musicians, dancers, comedians, jugglers, face painters, balloon artists and caricaturists, and crucially they coordinate multiple performers together, roving acts for the cocktail hour and an emcee to host the programme, as one production.

For an event where the entertainment needs to flow as a programme rather than a set of separate bookings, that coordination is the value. A strong choice for a performer-led event.

JNR Entertainment is a solid pick for carnival fringe activities and roving entertainers to go with their games and stalls. Booking the entertainers from the same team running your carnival keeps everything under one contact, and they can add tentage and logistics for outdoor sites.

For a carnival where the entertainers are part of the same order as the booths, that simplicity is handy. A good choice for fringe acts within a carnival.

Event Services SG rounds out the list for corporate stage entertainment. They focus on corporate acts and shows, the polished stage performers, hosts and production-ready entertainment that a Dinner and Dance or gala needs, rather than kids-party fringe acts.

For a corporate audience where the entertainment sits on a stage with proper AV, they are set up for that level. A good choice when the entertainment is a programmed show.

Roving entertainers are usually priced per performer per hour or per session, commonly around S$200 to S$500, with a balloon sculptor or face painter at the lower end and a skilled close-up magician higher. Mascots and emcees are quoted per appearance, and premium or celebrity acts cost more. Ask whether travel, costume and props are included and exactly how long the set or appearance runs.

A roving entertainer moves through the crowd, a magician doing close-up tricks table to table, a balloon sculptor working a queue, a caricaturist at a corner, which suits a carnival, cocktail hour or open-house with no fixed audience. A stage entertainer performs a set to a seated crowd and needs a stage and AV, which suits a programmed event like a Dinner and Dance. Many events use both across the evening.

Sometimes. Companies keep a range of generic mascot costumes, animals, characters and seasonal figures, that you can book directly. For a specific branded or licensed character, you usually need the rights holder's permission, but a good company can often produce a custom costume for your brand mascot given enough lead time. Ask early, as a custom mascot takes weeks to make.

The best companies roster performers for both, but the skill sets differ, so specify your audience. A children's magician leans on comedy and participation; a corporate close-up magician reads an adult room. An emcee for a family day is playful; one for a gala is polished and often bilingual. Tell the company your audience and tone, and ask for a performer who fits, rather than assuming any act will suit any crowd.

Two to four weeks is sensible, and more for a popular performer or a specific mascot, since the best acts get booked out for peak dates around year-end and festival season. A custom mascot costume needs several weeks of lead time. Booking early also lets you brief the performer properly on your audience, timing and any branding.

The entertainment and rental companies that win the most bookings do it on a website that shows the acts off and makes enquiring easy. That is the part I work on. I design and build websites for events and rental businesses across Singapore that turn a Google search into a booked enquiry, like the result in my Arcade Rental case study.
