1.    Children’s entertainment: The Keith and Sleepy Show

Hello! I’m Sleepy the Koala and my friend Keith Binns and I put on a  Show which goes for about 50 minutes. Now, I’m not a real koala and I’m NOT a puppet. I’m a 50 cm high soft-toy and I only talk to Keith. (Keith, however, is a real person.)

If you want to find out more about Keith, look in the biography.

The show begins with me asleep in my travel cot. Keith comes on with his guitar and sings some songs both to and with the children, and then they wake me up. I have a back-pack on. I’m only three years old and have been practising going to pre-school. Keith investigates what I’ve got in my pack. This includes some nuts, a very old lunch, a cape so I can become Super Sleepy and a kazoo which I can play. There is no story line and I’m NOT a puppet. (So please, don’t advertise us as a puppet show.)

The children get to sing lots and do lots of things. When Keith asks a question, he always listens and acts on the answers so the children don’t get bored and always pay attention.

We also have two special Christmas Shows, one with me and one with my friend Kringle the Christmas Kangaroo.

What other people say:

You don’t just have to believe me about the show. Here’s what some other people had to say:
