Tubby the Robot: extraordinary retro-futuristic entertainment for festivals, shopping centres, cultural precincts and corporate events.

Tubby the Robot is quirky, charming and programmed to delight any crowd. Far from the image of world-destroying robots you see in cinema and fiction, Tubby is lovable, playful and remarkably popular with kids and adults alike.

 

Outstanding entertainment

A chance encounter with Tubby the Robot is a truly unique experience that your audience will not forget. People are amazed when they first catch sight of this impressive gleaming robot.

There’s no doubt about it, Tubby the Robot is an extraordinary visual spectacle. But Tubby stands apart from other highly visual acts - for one thing, he talks! People love chatting with him, enchanted by his quirky, offbeat view of the human world.

When people meet Tubby they have the opportunity to step into an imaginary world - a robot world where they feel happy to interact, to laugh and play. They get to look through robot-coloured glasses, to interrupt the ordinary for a moment, and see their world a little differently for having met him.

We are committed to delivering performances that excite the imagination and encourage participation. We set up situations so that people in the audience have the chance to take part and effect what happens next.

 

Performance options

With Tubby the Robot, we have taken interactive character performance to a whole new level. The work is highly developed and as experienced performers, we routinely adapt our repertoire to a wide range of environments: from trade fairs and product launches to shopping centres, festivals and major public events.

 

Interactive Roving options include:

  • Tubby the Robot (solo): Tubby travels on foot for greatest intimacy and interactivity
  • Tubby on his Electro-Scooter: impressive, even bigger impact & highest mobility for large sites
  • Tubby & “L’il Tub”: animatronic baby robot, “L’il Tub”, who rides in 1950s nanny’s pram; adorable, comic, great for families
  • Tubby & Flapper: Tubby takes his pet fish “Flapper” for a walk. Flapper is an impressive animatronic puppet, waterproof, wireless and very friendly. Available in ‘wet’ & ‘dry’ modes
  • Tubby & ‘Mad Professor’ or ‘Space Girl’: duo character acts that expand the world of Tubby; kooky, interactive and engaging
  • Tubby with Shopping Trolley: filled with quirky robot goodies, inspires conversations with shoppers
  • Tubby & Promo Staff: Tubby generates loads of attention while uniformed staff distribute promotional materials

 

Stage and themed performance

Alongside roving performance, Tubby is also available as a novelty MC, for stage shows (such as ‘Fishing for Robots’), and for performance within an installation environment (‘Robot Playground’).

We can tailor-make performance to suit any environment or theme. Every performance is actively managed by a chaperone to ensure the safety of your visitors and guests.
