Spiderman impersonator for 4th birthday party!

sarahs999

I'm trying to find someone who could show up to my son's party for an hour, maybe, dressed as spiderman, and pose with the kids for photos/be vaguely entertaining while I get the tea ready! It's for later this month. Does anyone know of any CHEAP entertainers who might do it? I've had a quote for £250 which I think is way over the top. They're only four, so it doesn't have to be flawless...

ask a male friend or relative if he could do the honours, ask him to watch Spiderman the movie for inspiration, because those spidey senses have to be on form!

Do you not have a friend who would do it in return for a free spiderman costume? (You can get these online for about £30) Any bloke in their twenties would do lol...

Yeah, I've tried this route. Strangely few men seem to be wiling (and the ones that are keen have paunches, not very spidertastic!)

LOL, maybe tell the kids Spidey has been overindulging at Christmas

We had a rather weedy Spiderman at a character breakfast once. I was rather disappointed but my DS was enthralled.

Do you have any friends/ relatives with (older) teenage sons? They might be game for a laugh and would probably be glad of the chance to earn £10/20.

No, I thought of all these. I really did try to find someone to do it cheap but I just don't know people of that age. Anyway, I've found someone now - £150, so not cheap, but cheaper than the other quote and this one will do games and stories with the kids for an hour, so that's cool.
