There continues to be two main strands to the work of Entertainingly Different - Education and Entertainment and more often than not these two collide and the results can be rather special to say the least. ![]()
Here's a look back at our last three Entertainingly Different engagements. On Friday Rob Pudner paid his regular visit to Nanstallon Primary School near Bodmin and showed off another rather splendid shirt from Donalds Menswear whilst facilitating three drama workshops.![]()
On Saturday he really was the 'Greatest Showman' when he provided circus skills, parachute games and other interactive antics making a memorable fifth birthday celebration for one extremely happy little girl and party guests of all ages. ![]()
Finally yesterday he had the pleasure of spending the day with the talented Matt Biggs from Artaura Productions working on some short promotional films for Okehampton Business Improvement District (be sure to keep watching this space for more information). ![]()
Things are getting rather busy now and the festive fun kicks off this coming weekend with visits to Tiverton Town Council and Taunton's WinterFest for the switching on of Christmas lights, but have no fear we'll still find the time to share all the latest news and of course some photographs with you early next week!
"Oggy, Oggy, Oggy. . . . ![]()
Last night Rob Pudner was joined by his boy Jasper P as he donned his orange suit and brown bowler hat and took to the streets for Hatherleigh Carnival 2025 - maybe you saw them.![]()
After a spot of street entertainment he hitched a ride on the Last Appeal - adding his Entertainingly Different dolcet tones to the proceedings. ![]()
One half of Queenie and the Jester was also on hand performing fabulous tricks with his light up diablo. Unfortunately we don't have any pics of Mark in action but perhaps you do.![]()
As always if you have any photos/videos from last night's annual event you'd like to share especially if they feature Rob or Mark doing their thing please do so in the comments below, thank you.![]()
. . . . . Oi, Oi, Oi!"
Rob Pudner didn't know it was 'National Hug A Bear Day' when he got dressed this morning but this evening he's extremely pleased that he chose to wear one of his latest shirts from Donalds Menswear for his Friday visit to Nanstallon Primary School where he facilitated one of his Entertainingly Different sessions in the forest school area which also seems rather appropriate!
Bonfire Night at The BIG Sheep Family Attraction looked something like this as 'Entertainingly Different on Fire' once again performed three dazzling shows in the indoor arena. Then whilst the three extremely talented fire artistes (Maz, Eliza and Mark) did a spot of jamming by the bonfire ahead of the spectacular firework display Rob Pudner took to the stage and busted a few shapes to the pumping music as only he can! ![]()
A hearty helping of delicious mulligatawnsy soup courtesy of The Garden Box was the perfect end to another memorable night in North Devon.
What is your earliest memory of Rob or your first encounter with his inimitable style of teaching/entertainment?![]()
In March Rob Pudner had the pleasure of being part of the Play Revival event at RAMM (Royal Albert Memorial Museum) where he met three sisters he hadn't seen since he taught them circus skills at Winkleigh Primary School too many years ago to mention.![]()
He then had an email from one of them inviting him to pay an Entertainingly Different visit to the 36th Exeter (Emmanuel) Brownies which he did on Monday evening.![]()
He had a great time teaching the enthusiastic girls to spin plates, catch hoops and juggle scarves, he also led a few parachute games and lots more besides.![]()
He was delighted to catch up with two of the sisters again and this time their Mum who is also one of the leaders was their too!![]()
So the chain goes on. . . .
