Welcome to one of Australia's most unique Children's Shows!
These colourful and fun characters take you on an interactive and entertaining musical journey inspiring children to be creative and to believe in themselves.
With gentle messages The Jitterbugs educate the children with an active approach to fitness, well being, healthy living and our environment.
So come with us and learn more about each character and how they show us all ways to care and take care of ourselves and each other...
The Jitterbugs are in their 9th year and have gone from strength to strength with their high energy, very entertaining, interactive and educational non-stop musical extravaganza. First class children's entertainment, performing Australia-wide.
The Jitterbugs Characters:
Snug Bug & Hug Bug the Sensational Lady Bugs
Bugs protect our plants, especially the roses, from the Aphids (also known as plant lice). Aphids are the lady bugs' favourite food. The Lady Bugs are two fun loving precious characters who interact and teach the children that it is good to love and hug one another.
Jessie the Gorgeous Butterfly
Jessie the gorgeous butterfly is a major attraction. Every little girl wants to be Jessie the gorgeous butterfly. Her story of how she changes from a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly is an amazing tale for all the children. The transformation from the caterpillar stage, an inactive pupal stage (asleep in the cocoon) and a spectacular metamorphosis into a familiar and colourful winged butterfly form.
Fibee the Boogying Bumble Bee
Fibee the boogying bumble bee keeps the children boogying with her educational segments on how bees collect the pollen from the flowers and turn it into honey. Did you know that bees are also marvellous flying machines? They can carry a load of pollen close to their own body weight. Not even the most advanced design in aircraft can take off with a load one-quarter of its own weight. The children appreciate the miracle that the boogying bumblebee can remain airborne with such a load.
Snappy the Happy Crocodile
Snappy the Happy Crocodile is a hit with both boys and girls. He is our friendly character, a friend of The Jitterbugs. He not only loves to play soccer, he loves to fish and teach the children the importance of eating protein to build and strengthen their muscles.
Frogodile
Frogodile is a unique fun and crazy character. He's half frog, half crocodile. Frogodile sends a subtle message through to the children that it's alright to be a little different and through mixing colours together (eg. yellow & blue to make green Frogodile juice) that colours can also be different when we mix them together.
Hopsie the Ballerina Bunny
Hopsie the ballerina bunny loves ballet and of course loves to jump. Her healthy eating habits eg. vegetables, carrots, lettuce etc contribute to promoting healthy eating habits for the children.
Daisy the Dancing Dragon Fly
Daisy the Dancing Dragon Fly loves to dance and dive. She also controls the population of harmful insects eg. mosquitos (better known as mosquito hawks). She loves them. She also is one of the world's fastest insects and is capable of reaching speeds of between 30-60km/hr. Daisy also employs a particular optical illusion called active motion camouflage, a unique predatory ploy by moving rapidly towards her prey while appearing stationary.
Testimonials:
Darling Harbour
"The Jitterbugs performed at Darling Harbour on Australia Day 2000 to a capacity crowd of all ages, who were totally entertained and thrilled by their performance. In a time where there is an abundance of very ordinary, patronising and mostly derivative children’s entertainment, I was delightfully surprised by the very original, highly energetic and very entertaining performance. Their show is a very polished show performed by eight extremely dedicated performers and their costumed friends who have an undeniable talent for entertaining children. We will be having them back very soon!"

Paramatta City Council
"On behalf of Parramatta City Council, I would like to extend our gratitude for your great work at the Australia Day Celebrations. “The Jitterbugs” delivered a fantastic show, enjoyed by children and adults alike. The choreography, costumes and repertoire were truly first class. Australia Day in Parramatta attracted record crowds this year- estimated at 180,000 throughout the day-and it is council’s belief that it was the standard of entertainment that brought the people to to park in droves. The program included James Morrison, Rhonda Burchmore, Spice Power Tribute Show, Fireworks and it was great to have “The Jitterbugs” as part of that outstanding program."

Winston Hills Mall
The Jitterbugs brought in the crowds with their “Get Up & Go” show At Winston Hills Mall during January, 2006.
Their high energy show attracted huge audiences and their effervescent personalities coupled with great performances kept the crowds completely entertained. Their professionalism shined through as seasoned artists.
Great voices, cute costumes, catchy music, infectious energy and great fun. You couldn’t do better for a holiday show that actually entertains. Great cast and good management!
