Full Job Description

JOB DESCRIPTION

Prestigious Entertainment is a fast-growing children's event company serving New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut — and we're looking for more than just someone in a costume. We're building a team of passionate performers who bring characters to life, command a room full of excited kids, and create moments that families remember forever.

This is a performance role. You don't need to have done it professionally, but you need to be the kind of person who naturally lights up around kids, loves being the center of attention, and takes every commitment seriously.

If that's you — keep reading.

WHAT THE JOB LOOKS LIKE:

Weekend events — primarily Saturdays and Sundays
Birthday parties, corporate events, and celebrations across NJ, NY, and CT
Events typically run 1–3 hours
You arrive in full character — on time, in costume, and ready to perform
You lead superhero training, interactive games, and special birthday moments with groups of children
You engage confidently with kids and communicate professionally with parents

Event Frequency — What to Expect: This is a weekend-based role — the majority of events take place on Saturdays and Sundays. On an active weekend you can expect anywhere from 3 to 6 events, though this is not guaranteed and will vary week to week based on demand and scheduling. If you are looking for a consistent daily schedule Monday–Friday, this role may not be the right fit. If you are flexible, available on weekends, and looking to maximize your earnings when bookings are strong — this is a great opportunity.

WHAT THE PAY LOOKS LIKE:

$75 for the first hour → $25 every additional 30 minutes → 2-hour event = $125 → 3-hour event = $175

REQUIREMENTS:

Do not apply if you do not have a valid driver's license and your own reliable personal vehicle. Events are located across NJ, NY, and CT. Some events require driving up to 40–50 miles. This is a firm, non-negotiable requirement.
Do not apply if you are not consistently available on Saturdays and Sundays. This is a weekend-primary role. Weekday events exist but are not guaranteed.
Do not apply if you currently live outside of New Jersey. We need performers who are locally based and ready to deploy across the tri-state area.

Additional requirements:

High energy, outgoing, and genuinely comfortable performing in front of large groups of children
Able to stay in character and maintain the magic of the experience throughout the event
Reliable and accountable — if you commit to a date, you show up no matter what
Background in theater, improv, acting, dance, sports performance, or any live performance is a strong plus — but not required if you have the right energy and personality

DRIVING EXPECTATIONS:

We operate across NJ, NY, and CT. Some events require driving up to 40–50 miles from your location. This does not happen every weekend, but it is a regular part of the role. Do not apply if you are only comfortable driving within a small local radius. We are looking for people who genuinely don't mind being on the road — gas and tolls are always reimbursed on top of your pay.

WHY JOIN OUR TEAM:

We generate the bookings — you focus on performing and growing your skills
A real team culture — we train you, invest in you, and reward reliability
Superhero is just the start — our top performers expand into face painting, balloon twisting, bubble shows, and more — and pay grows with every skill added
Consistent weekend bookings with a fast-growing company
Gas and tolls always covered — longer drives mean more reimbursement, never more out of pocket
Clear path to higher pay as you develop and take on more

Pay: $75.00 - $85.00 per hour

Application Question(s):

Are you consistently available to work on Saturdays and Sundays on an ongoing basis? This is a weekend-primary role.
Are you comfortable driving up to 40–50 miles for events across NJ, NY, and CT when needed?
What city and state do you currently live in? (Must be located in New Jersey to be considered for this role)
Are you willing to learn balloon twisting? No need to have any experience — we will train you.
Have you read the full pay structure in the job description? (You will be asked to confirm your understanding during the interview. Please read it before applying.)
This role requires wearing a full fitted bodysuit costume. The costume is pre-made and sized for a specific athletic build — approximately 5'8" to 6'1" and 150–180 lbs. Does your build fall within this range? (Must meet this requirement to be considered for this role)

License/Certification:

Driver's License AND reliable personal vehicle of your own (Required)

Work Location: In person
