TUBBY THE ROBOT IS AVAILABLE FOR:
ROVING PERFORMANCE OPTIONS:
Tubby the Robot is available in a range of roving options to suit different types of events and audiences. We can tailor the performance to your event or theme. Each show is actively managed by a chaperone to ensure public safety, and the performer is fully insured. See the media gallery for images from previous performances.
Tubby the Robot - Solo
Visually spectacular and delightfully intimate at once, the original Tubby the Robot attracts loads of attention wherever he goes. The way Tubby talks and interacts with the audience really sets him apart from other character acts. This option is great for mid-sized sites or localised events such as launches, promotions and novelty stage presentations.
Tubby & L’il Tub (Baby in Pram)
Tubby’s out for a walk with his baby, “L’il Tub”, who rides in a restored 1960’s nanny’s pram. The pair had better find a Robot Recharging Centre before L’il Tub goes flat! This option includes a discrete puppeteer who controls L’il Tub’s movements and sounds. Great for kids and family events.
Tubby goes Shopping
Tubby is on a shopping mission, on the look out for a bargain: a special price on some mixed nuts (and bolts) or a shiny new toaster for breakfast, “yummm...”. Perfect for shopping centres, this option can be themed for promotions, Christmas and other seasonal events.
Tubby on board his Electro-Scooter
Huge impact! Tubby’s twice the size on board his Electro-Scooter and has a massive range suitable for the largest venues. His mission: “To boldly go where no robot has gone before...” The Electro-Scooter works indoors and outdoors on grass and paved surfaces. Tubby hops on and off regularly to meet the audience.
Tubby & Flapper the Fish
Flapper is a groundbreaking animatronic puppet - waterproof, wireless and very friendly. Tubby takes his pet fish “Flapper” for a walk. Tricky, coz fish don’t have legs! So Flapper travels in a water-filled fish-mongers trolley. Tubby pulls him out regularly, flapping and splashing, so that everyone can meet him and give him a pat. Available ‘dry’ for indoors or ‘wet’ for outdoors or paved areas.

“Just wanted to thank you once again for your performances over the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. Tubby the Robot was a huge hit amongst young and old! I myself couldn’t take my eyes off him, it was truly spectacular.”
“Tubby the Robot came along to our client movie days in both Melbourne and Sydney. Ericsson’s client movie days are an important part of our annual events calendar as they allow us to interact and entertain our clients and their families in a fun and relaxed environment.
Tubby the Robot proved to be a big hit with not only the children but the parents as well. We received many positive comments from our clients on Tubby the Robot, in particular the way he cleverly interacted with the crowd. Thanks for adding such a fun element to our event!”
