Barbara Bambino (aka Queen Barbara) is a full-time, professional children's and family entertainer. Since 1988 she has appeared at over 4000 birthday parties and special events. You may have seen her as one of her other alter egos: Madame Zorina the fortune teller, or Cupcake the Clown. She has trained with many of the most recognised names in magic, storytelling, comedy, and clowning. Barbara is a member of the Society of American Magicians, The World Clown Association, and Clowns of America International. She started Storybook Princess Parties in 2002 because she wanted to take the emphasis off costumed princess characters at birthday parties and put where it should be - on the birthday child.
Our mission is to make every birthday child feel like the star of their own fairytale.
The Queen's Rules
Performance Requirements
Due to the delicate nature of the costume and props, shows are available indoors only.
When choosing the location for the entertainment please remember we bring several large heavy items. We make every effort to treat your home like the castle it is. You can help by selecting a location with a minimal number of stairs and easy access to an outside door to facilitate loading in and out.
Silver and Gold programs require about 10 minutes of set-up time, and require a minimum 6' x 6' open area for show and activities.
