Absolutely the best Santa EVER. Our original Santa caught Covid and we were slated in last minute, so our family event wasnt ruined. Zippy was MAGICAL and the best experience ever. We will most definitely use Zippy for all events in the future.

Zippy is hired for all the Scottsdale Ranch events. He is amazing. Even the adults line up for his gorgeous balloon creations. Last year at the Christmas party he made a beautiful penguin that I brought to my dear friend who was ailing. She loves penguins and it made her day. Last weekend, I was walking out from the fall SRCA event wearing my beautiful balloon wrist flower and a little girl was over tired and crying. So I gave it to her and the world was right again. No more tears.
Hes the best!

When my original face painter cancelled on me 4 days before the party, I contacted Zippy and he came to my rescue. He really went above and beyond. I got a face painter and balloon twister for my son's birthday and they totally made the party! Both were highly skilled and so great with kids. They really made the party! The kids and parents were really impressed. I am so grateful to Zippy for setting this up, I would definitely recommend him and his artists.

Calamity Jo from Zippy Entertainment was a fabulous addition to our annual Day in the Country event. Everyone loved the creative balloon twists and the fun magic show - Kids & Adults alike! The owner, Jerry "Zippy" Gibbens was fabulous to work with and I would highly recommend his services that include a wide variety of options for almost any type of event.
