Meet the Characters
Each one has a story, a personality and a touch of mischief. Scroll down to discover the worlds, wonders and wonderfully loveable characters of RinTinTin Theatre.
Bridie the Tea Lady
Standing an impressive 8ft tall alongside her magnificent cake-laden tea trolley, Bridie serves up far more than tea.
With a soundtrack of timeless classics, a gift for conversation and a talent for turning strangers into friends, Bridie drifts through events dispensing charm, laughter and the occasional biscuit. One moment she’s sharing a story, the next she’s leading a singalong or dancing her way through the crowd.
A seasoned hostess with a wonderfully playful spirit, Bridie has appeared everywhere from grand country estates and prestigious corporate events to festivals, fêtes and private celebrations. Wherever she goes, she creates memorable moments and leaves audiences smiling.
So pull up a chair, pour yourself a cuppa and prepare for a little old-fashioned hospitality with a delightfully theatrical twist.
Gwyneth Poultry & Sandra MacBullock
Outstanding in Their Field
You’ll hear them long before you see them.
With a noisy pedal tractor, clucking chickens, questionable driving skills and plenty of farmyard chatter, Gwyneth Poultry and Sandra MacBullock arrive ready to bring a little countryside chaos to your event.
Proudly displaying rosettes they’ve almost certainly won for something, somewhere, these self-proclaimed agricultural legends are always keen to discuss important farming matters, share their expert opinions, and occasionally recruit unsuspecting members of the public to help drive the tractor.
Friendly, interactive and gloriously silly, this lovable duo delight audiences of all ages with their quick wit, playful improvisation and farm-fresh humour.
Expect laughter, mischief and a healthy dose of rural nonsense wherever The Farmers roam.
Wanda & Rhonda
Walkabout Act
As the sound of timeless tunes drifts from their vintage tea trolley, Wanda & Rhonda set off in search of customers, conversation and just a little bit of trouble.
Balancing trays of cakes, cocktails and questionable advice, this delightfully chaotic duo are rarely focused on the task at hand. Between the gossip, the singing, the steering mishaps and the occasional misunderstanding, service can be a little unpredictable.
One thing is certain: wherever Wanda & Rhonda go, laughter is always on the menu.
Stand by our Pam
Pammy & Tammy are two rhinestone cowgirls serving up comedy, country classics, and toe-tapping fun. This lively duo will have you humming and dancing along to the country tunes we all know and love.
Hailing from out West (Yeovil), they first met on the road at the Cadillac Café (officially The Sizzling Sausage, just off the roundabout near the Swindon bypass)
Pamela and Tamela's sights are set on one day singing at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, but as they will tell you, “for some unknown reason, Nashville simply hasn’t responded”
Expect line dancing, spoon clattering, washboard rattling and cover your ears, singing.
Wildly funny and completely off their country rockers, Pammy & Tammy will leave you not knowing your yee-has from your giddy-ups.
Big hair, big hats, and plenty of country fringe and sparkle.
More pictures soon!
Queen Elizabeth I
With Sir Walter Raleigh or Sir Frances Drake, Royalty, Scandal, Intrigue!
Meet Elizabeth the First, our noble monarch, handsome and towering in her striking regalia.
Accompanied by either the somewhat overshadowed & henpecked Sir Walter Raleigh or the bowls-playing and flustered Sir Francis Drake.
This contrasting comic duo is more Blackadder than RSC, as Elizabeth reigns, Sir Walter, well, he rediscovers the potato, and Sir Francis tries to conquer Spain if only he knew where it was.
So - may her majesty knight thee… Practice thy best bow, polish up thy curtsey and prepare to lose thy head. A fair event is for all, so let the games begin!
From Shakespeare’s Globe to Elton John's White Tie & Tiara Ball, The Virgin Queen and her faithful servant are always well received.
The Wind People
It’s howling a gale, but only in the world of the Wind People.
In this beautiful promenade piece, four characters seem caught in a storm. Regardless of the weather in your world, they have permanently windswept hair, clothes, and even expressions.
The piece begins with the Wind People standing statue-like, as if frozen in time, as sounds of gales and foghorns holler around them. Gradually, they begin to move and perform short choreographed vignettes as they move through their audience. As the wind gets up, they intermittently resort to hanging on for grim life to anything stationary, such as lampposts, street furniture, shopping baskets and even unsuspecting passers-by for fear of being blown away. Children, especially, try to pull them to safety and have been known to form lines, just like in the story of the “Giant Turnip”!
This physical theatre piece is visually mesmerising, funny and will make people think twice the next time they pray for fine weather; The Wind People have no choice.
This act has been seen blowing down streets throughout the UK; Brighton Festival, Clacton Big Day Out, The Merseyside River festival, Edinburgh Castle for JK Rowling (Harry Potter), The Tate Modern, London and internationally at the Athens Winter Wonderland Festival, Greece; The Bergen International Festival; The Lauwre Festival, Belgium.
They could be in a street near you.
Royal Horse Guards
Call the Cavalry!
Reggie and Bert, the impeccably turned-out Cavalry Horse Guards, are great fun and will make you feel like a Queen or King for the day as they escort you from pillar to post!
Whether on stilts or on the ground, these comic interactive characters are striking and make an impact at any event.
So whether it’s a right royal do or a family day out, Reg and Bert could be galloping to a place near you.
Don’t forget the sugar lumps for the horses!
Alice Band
Lawd above me old china!
She’s a 1950s London gal through and through; our Alice lives in a candy-coloured world. With ginger beehive, pins that go on forever, not forgetting her pink and fluffy little dog, “Regina”
’50s music blares from her wireless, as she takes us for a trip down memory lane into bygone days of jiving, bobby socks & and too much hairspray…
Rock around the clock with Alice and learn the mash potato, Maryland jive, and the jitterbug stroll in her impromptu dance lessons.
She’s London’s answer to Sandy & Rizzo, Grease is the word, innit?
Havana Clue
Comedy Fortune-teller and Psychic to the Stars
Havana welcomes you to her table as friends and colleagues look on.
Gifted Havana talks in tongues, reads tea leaves, views her crystal ball and consults “Take a Break” for your stars.
Have a game of snap with Havana, have your future pets predicted and walk away safe in the knowledge that you’re none the wiser…With improvisation, comedy and real charm, this totally unique act turns fortune–telling on its head.

The Squirrels
Meet the Squirrels....
Cheryl and Cyril Squirrel are two redheads who scamper, dance, cause mischief, and are always on the lookout for something to hoard. To everyone's amusement, Cheryl reveals what squirrels really keep in their handbags, discusses her family tree and shares the family album.
Meanwhile, Cyril is trying hard to grow a moustache and to avoid Cheryl.
These comedic Squirrels are furry, interactive, musical, very lively, have a great line in chitter chatter and bring lots of fun to festivals, functions, shopping malls, forests, fairy rings and dreys.
The act is suitable for people of all ages and can be booked as a walkabout or as a corporate meet-and-greet: "Anyone for nuts?"

Carmen Rollas & Herman Seetas
