Meet Chris - The Guy Behind Stay Entertained
I’ve been performing longer than i can remember. At 4 years old, I was helping my dad (Tophat & Minimagic) with magic shows in shopping centres, large scale events & Corporate Events – Learning how to work a crowd and give people a good time.
By 14. I’d saved enough from gigs to buy arcade machines. At 16, I started a photo booth business Stay Captured. Since then, I’ve performed all over the South Pacific places like Fiji, Vanuatu, new Zealand and even the president of Nauru. (Yep, that actually happened)
But becoming a dad was the big one. That’s when I knew I didn’t just want to perform. I wanted to build something real. Something with heart. Something my son could be proud of and take over one day.
That’s how Stay Entertained started.
Since then, we’ve grown into a small team with a big reputation. We’ve worked with massive names like Suncorp, McDonald’s, Bunnings, Chempro and even the Australian Defence Force. – But we treat every job like it’s personal. Because it is.
We don’t cut corners. We show up, we care and we run the night like it matters. Because to us, it does.
This isn’t a side hustle or a franchise. This is our family business.
And we go all in, every single time
Thanks for considering our business for your special event.
Chris Stay.
Our approach
We’re not a hire business. We don’t just drop off tables and hope for the best. At Stay Entertained, we run the night, start to finish, so you can relax and enjoy yourself. Actually have fun at your event.
Everything we do has been tested and refined over thousands of events. From how we handle bump in, to how we train our staff, we really want your guest involved, and laughing within minutes.
There’s No Guessing. No Awkward gaps. No Cheap Gimmicks.
We bring energy, systems, personality, and polish to every job. Whether it’s a black tie corporate event or a backyard birthday party, your night will run like clockwork and feel completely effortless to you.
That’s the Stay Entertained difference. And once you’ve seen it, you’ll never book a party the same way again.
