Miki & Charli — two clowns for children's parties in Sofia

Two clowns. A little magic. A lot of laughter.

We're Miki and Charli, two clowns who adore children. We bring magic tricks, a balloon show, puppets on strings and off, songs, dancing and games to children's birthdays, parties and celebrations. Every one is different, and we come to the place you choose.

Over 25 years on stage more than 3,000 children's parties

The programme

A full, colourful programme

Five things we bring with us to birthdays, parties, celebrations and any occasion at all. We arrange them around the day and the children, so the programme comes out bright and full.

Which of the five acts go into your party, and in what order, we work out together around the occasion, the children's ages and the place. If your child has a favourite theme, we build the party around it.

  1. Magic

    Magic tricks

    Things vanish, the impossible gets guessed, small wonders happen right in front of the children. The best part is their faces.

  2. Balloons

    Balloon show

    Figures, flowers and animals take shape from a plain balloon, live. Nobody works out what it is until the last twist.

  3. Puppets

    Puppets on strings and off

    Marionettes on strings, and puppets that come to life right on the hand. Different characters, different voices, one small story. The children watch up close as every step is led by a hand.

  4. Music

    Songs and dances

    Music nobody can stand still to. We sing and dance with the children and get the whole room on its feet.

  5. Fun

    Games

    Games that pull in the boldest and the shyest alike. Somewhere in the middle come the laughter, the noise and the memories.

Pick a card

Three cards, one choice. Nothing up our sleeves except an opinion or two.

Choose a card to turn it over.

Each of the three cards hides a short note about how we work. All three notes are also written out as plain text directly below this section, so nothing here is hidden from screen readers.

This is why you don't get the wand.
We haven't even started and you are already pulling tricks.
*And former children.
“I'll just watch” is the shortest joke in the whole act.
Then the rehearsals paid off.
Making a fool of yourself is easy. Doing it in perfect sync — that is professionalism.

The duo

Miki Charli Miki & Charli

Miki and Charli are a clown duo based in Sofia. They work children's birthdays, parties, celebrations and events of every kind, with magic, a balloon show, marionettes, songs, dancing and games. "We're Miki and Charli, the clowns, and we adore children."

Miki

Actress and clown

Miki trained in puppetry at VITIZ — Bulgaria's national academy for theatre and film arts, today NATFA "Krastyo Sarafov". That's where the puppets in the programme come from: on strings and off, led by hand. She studied this exact craft, and you can see it the moment a puppet starts to move. She's the one in the red curly wig.

Charli

Clown and variety artist

Charli has long years of stage work behind him, including time performing in South Korea, and a variety show is part of his story too. He was a tap dancer and danced in a four-person ensemble — that rhythm has stayed in the way he moves. The gold top hat is his.

The two of them

The two of them come from different sides of the stage — she from puppets and theatre, he from variety and dance — and that is exactly what makes their programme so varied. Magic, balloons, marionettes, songs, dances and games take turns depending on what is working for the children in the room. What they share is simple: both of them are working for the child who is watching.

Occasions

When we come

Children's birthdays, parties, celebrations and any occasion at all — anywhere there are children and a reason to smile. The place is entirely up to you; we come to you.

  1. Tell us about the event

    Call or write with the occasion, the date and the place.

  2. We plan the programme together

    We choose together what to include — magic, balloons, puppets on strings and off, songs, dancing and games. If your child has a favourite theme, we build the party around it, so it comes out different every time.

  3. We confirm the booking

    We set the date, the time and the place, and stay in touch right up to the day.

The details

The party happens wherever you're holding it — we have no hall of our own, and you don't need to find one. Price, travel and technical requirements are agreed for each party individually, according to the place, the programme and the number of children. Ask us when you get in touch and we'll tell you everything.
