| Just Puppets is a
professional Puppet company formed in Northampton in 1973 by Peter and Paul Garofalo and
was based at the historic Repertory Theatre, performing shows on a Saturday morning as
well as touring schools during the week. In 1980, Peter
Garofalo departed from the company leaving Paul Garofalo doing one-man shows, though
sometimes employing people to perform larger shows. These became very popular at schools
and private parties.
In 1989, Paul
Garofalo moved to Cambridge and has since built up a very good reputation in and around
Cambridgeshire, where he performs at schools, outdoor events, play-schemes and private
parties. On occasion, Paul Garofalo takes the puppets on tour around the country,
performing at small theatres, art centres, schools and castles.
In the early 1990's,
Paul Garofalo's shows were in such demand that he found he was having to turn work down.
To compensate in some way he bought a Bouncy Castle. Since then, Paul has purchased one
Bouncy Castle each year and now has a total of fifteen. Probably the cheapest to hire
in Cambridgeshire, there are various shapes and designs to choose from.
