Interactive Entertainment Guests Actually Remember
Starting rates · exact quote after reviewing your event details
Guests forget centrepieces. They never forget the moment a polar bear walked in. Interactive shows for birthdays, weddings, malls and corporate events across Metro Vancouver.
Why It Works
Entertainment guests take part in
A shared moment
Not an act guests simply watch from chairs — the bear pulls everyone in: kids, grandparents, the shy colleague from accounting.
Content guests create
Every phone comes out. Your event markets itself in stories and reels for days afterwards.
Support with the event plan
Performer, handler, music cues, timing — we run the whole moment. You just press record.
Stackable with effects
Add bubbles, confetti or fog and the show becomes a full production — one team, one setup, one invoice.

FAQ
Good to know
What entertainment does Grand Show offer?
Choose a 30-minute Polar Bear Greeting, a one-hour appearance with one or two characters, or our Green Christmas Character. Longer appearances, additional characters and effects are agreed in an individual written quote.
How much does event entertainment cost?
Polar Bear Greeting is $250 + GST for 30 minutes. One character is $350 + GST for a one-hour booking; two characters are $600 + GST and three are $800 + GST for a one-hour booking. Travel is charged separately from our Surrey base and confirmed in your written quote.
What ages is the show for?
Genuinely all of them. Toddlers hug the bear, teenagers film it, adults end up in the dance-off. We tune the energy to your crowd.
Do you perform at corporate events?
Often — office parties, client events and brand activations. The bear is a remarkably effective icebreaker. See our corporate events page for formats.
How far do you travel?
We serve Metro Vancouver and surrounding areas. Travel is quoted separately based on the event city and distance.
Can we see the bear before booking?
