The Happy Birthday People | Home

We live on the beautiful Hibiscus Coast in the north of Auckland. We love performing and bringing joy to people!

As children, that ‘stage’ was often the lounge, where we’d roped siblings and neighbourhood kids into performances we created. These early efforts blossomed, after years pursuing music, acting, and the arts, into skits, plays, and musicals attended by crowds of thousands. But there’s still something special about the lounge, our very first stage!

How does all that turn into what we do now?

…especially when you’re looking for a unique gift, for that personal touch, or for an alternative to traditional gifts.

When you hire us, we bring our combined lifetimes of performance experience to help you make someone feel extra special on their special day.

A Special Gift for a Special Someone. (or multiple someones)

ALL OUR PRODUCTS INCLUDE…

*  With customer help, we sneak up to an entry point – ninja rolls optional.
*  Celebrate person(s) or season – play songs, induce laughter. Tears okay (of joy and love.)
*  Get everyone singing, give out party poppers.
*  Confetti cannon (large paper pieces; no glitter! Glitter bad!)
*  Exit. General merriment increased at venue.

Imagine “Singing Telegram meets Mariachi Band.” We’re a great gift idea, and a unique alternative to traditional birthday gifts.

If you’re looking for something special, you found it.

Not sure what to get your dad? Tired of getting him golf mugs and new socks?

WE GET IT.

Because Dads have seen it all.

You could get him a thing but what you want is to touch his heart. So you’re after something that stands out without taking up the space of a spare lawnmower.

This year, blow his socks off! 

Bring us in as a musical surprise to celebrate your dad.

When is the right time to grow?

We want to grow our businesses, right? Of course we do, nobody’s going around saying, “what I really want is to fail my way into an abyss of irrecoverable debt.” If you’re happy…

The ultimate question, to which ’42’ cannot be the answer. What gifts should I buy?

If you’re like me, picking a Christmas gift falls into one of three categories:

To most people, Halloween is about ghouls and goblins and dress-ups and lollies. To us, it means time to start thinking Christmas and sleigh bells!

We’re putting together a Christmas celebration for families and businesses who are sorting out their…

The phone rang. An interested potential client, with an unusual query: “Can you do Fathers Day?”

Why, yes we can!

Now, we could have simply played the classic Happy Birthday song and swapped ‘Birthday’ for ‘Fathers Day,’ but there was…

Yes, our website is finally up! Frankensteined together out of YouTube videos, Google searches, and previously discarded attempts on other sitebuilding platforms, this is where it all starts.
