    Hi,

    I haven't seen him about this last while and was wondering had anyone else spotted him.
    I'm sure most of you would be familiar with him....very funny act with the little wooden puppet.
    My little ones think he is the funniest thing in the world.....which brings me to "does he do birthday parties?"
    Maybe someone on here knows him or could answer the party question for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Havn't seen him for a good few weeks but I'm sure he is still around.
    Would be great to get him for a party. I just love watching him get the puppet to climb up on to baby carriages as they are watching. Always makes me smile :)

    Here's the man himself :D

    Saw him last week on Grafton St, the Stephen's green end, so i guess he is still around. Hadn't seen him for a while before that though.

    Thats if its the guy with the puppet that plays the piano / dances that you are talking about.

    I actually know the guy quite well, it's a long story.....

    He is somewhat of a seasonal worker, he will be here for a few months/weeks, then go somewhere else in Europe for a while, normally Barcelona or Copenhagen for a few months and will eventually find his way back here. He would normally be only out for a few hours during the days when he is here.

    I'm pretty sure I saw him in Grafton St this weekend

    I've often seen him. He is always worth stopping to watch. He is the best puppeteer I've seen. Every little subtle movement of that puppet is brilliant. He really brings it alive.
