Interactive walkabouts
A range of comic and interactive stilt walkabouts including:
Caw! An eight foot giant scarecrow with a very cheeky talking crow for a companion. A unique blend of puppetry and stilts. |
 |
Foxtrot Oscar An elegant ballroom dancing couple waltz and tango to the music of Victor Sylvester (from an in-stilt stereo system) he is human but slightly cartoon, brylcremed and elegant, she is a puppet in a gown of blue, gold and rhinestones. |
 |
The Deep-sea Divers Two divers wearing large corroded copper helmets squirting jets of water and draped with sea-weed and crabs. Fish swim around their heads and their backpacks play atmospheric undersea noises. They communicate by means of wipe-boards and are fairly cheeky.

Daemon
A scary servant with his companion Spike (a severed head on a tray whose eyes flash red whilst spitting warm water). Other characters include Frankie Twisting, Jiving , Rock and Roll Teddy Boy, Sir Toby Oldesoake Gregarious Tudor, life and soul of the banquet, Dink Strange angular alien with voice synthesiser and an odd command of the English language.
Our Electroglide characters combine beautiful costumes with humour, music, and the latest in gyroscopic technology to create wonderful floating effects that are entirely new and very exciting. We leave our audience amazed and enthralled with one question in their minds - How do they do it?
Electroglide Angels

The Angels Jeff, Terry and Wayne are on a mission! With their long golden tresses, neon halos and very silly trumpets, they amuse and delight as they practise their flying skills and attempt to bring Peace and Joy wherever they go. Hallelujah!
Floaty Ghosties
Two mysterious apparitions glide around very spookily. They would be really scary if they weren’t so hopeless at their job.
The Tritons
The new and unique Electroglide Show from Larkin’ About featuring three Mermen riding chariots made of shells and carried by wonderful squirting Dolphins. With bubbles and sea sounds effects, don't miss these mythical Guardians of the Sea as they patrol the waves.
“Larkin’ About amazed the audience with their flying angels…people stared open-mouthed trying to work out how they were moving. It’s a very clever idea and it works very well” Mhairi Smith, Events and Music Development Officer, Gloucester City Council
“The Tritons were absolutely stunning, highly original and of course perfect for a maritime event. So many positive comments were made about your performance by the public” International Festival of the Sea 2005
“Thanks, Thanks, Thanks and Thanks again for all your energy and enthusiasm that made the Gainsborough Riverside Festival an outstanding success” Neil Rogers, Arts Officer, West Lindsey District Council
