The Ragged Royals
Meet The Ragged Royals - our outrageously entertaining Dickensian stilt walker duo who bring the cobbled streets of Victorian England to vivid life. Dressed in threadbare finery and towering over the crowd, these delightfully deluded characters think they’re kings of the realm… even if they’re clearly more Oliver Twist than Buckingham Palace.
Equal parts theatrical and absurd, they mingle with guests, pose for photos, and serve up razor-sharp banter that’s dripping with cheeky Victorian wit. Perfect for adding a touch of period hilarity and immersive charm to any event with a historical or Christmas theme.
What to Expect from The Ragged Royals
- Heightened Comedy – Literally and figuratively! Standing tall at 9 feet, they draw crowds effortlessly.
- Delightful Dickensian Banter – Witty, ridiculous, and royally confused - audiences of all ages are drawn in by their charm.
- Unforgettable Photo Opportunities – Ideal for press moments, social media content, and walkabout fun.
- Interactive Walkabout Performance – They don’t just stand around - they roam, engage, and bring scenes to life!
Whether it’s entertaining guests at a Christmas market, adding a talking point at a Victorian-themed gala, or delighting families at a heritage festival, this act fills the air with laughter and personality.
Ideal For:
- Victorian Christmas Events & Dickensian Fairs
- Heritage Days & Historical Festivals
- Shopping Centre Entertainment
- Corporate Christmas Parties
- Themed Outdoor Attractions
- Storybook, Literary, and Theatrical Events
The Ragged Royals are far from the stiff upper lip of history - they’re gritty, loveable, and absurdly regal. And your guests will love every second.

I recently hired Chosen Events Entertainment to help bring some fun and flair to our drinks reception, and they absolutely delivered. From start to finish, their service was seamless, professional, and refreshingly creative. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chosen Events Entertainment and will definitely be using them again for future events.

Line Dancers (Supreme)
It was the first time that the Club has used a similar service and the dancers were excellent and also able to flex their approach to meet our needs (as the stage space was limited and headset mics in short supply). We captured some fantastic photos that show just how much our employees enjoyed the event and all the dancers were friendly and helpful. It helped us to get into the party spirit and also set the Western theme/tone really well
