Jokes About Bubbles

Summertime is just around the corner and that means summerfests, pool parties, and watersports. What's more fun than watching giant man-size bubbles form, take to the sky and pop? It's when the bubble artists is telling bubble jokes all at the same time. Here are some of my favorites.

Bubble Jokes:

So this brilliant soap bubble was flying high in the sky. Sparkling and glistening from the brightness of the sun. It was heading north for the summer fair until suddenly the wind died out. Sadly the bubble began to descend. But then, it saw a passing balloon and decided to hitch a ride. So the bubble said. "Hi friend, bright and balmy day for a red balloon. Blowing my way?" And off they flew in a windy gust.


What's a bubbles favorite treat?
A pop-sicle.


A bubble was attending a safety meeting conducted by a pin.
What did the bubble say after meeting?
You know, I see your point.

Where do bubble go shopping?
A mom and pop store.

Summertime is the perfect time to book a bubble show. 
Nothing fancy. Just your resident bubble artists, Uncle Angelo and Aunt Marie, beautiful bubbles, fantastic bubble wands, amazing tricks and soap sud fun. Watch our latest videos here. 

How To Plan A Bubble Festival

So you want to plan a bubble festival. You may be eligible for a grant by the local municipality. This is a partial list for those planning group bubbling events. 

Bubble Event Location

Locate a spot that will allow plenty of parking and space for bubblers without bumping into each other.

Consider climate, weather, elevation, ground materials, overhead obstacles like tree limbs, local construction, private homes, commercial buildings and electric lines and such. Open space is the best space.

Insurance Policy and Permits

Get them well in advance

Sales License and Permit

If you're selling anything you'll need this.

Grant Use

If the grant policy permits use part of the grant funds for insurance, licenses and permits. For more information regarding grants for bubble festivals go to Google.com

Bubble Juice

I use non-allergenic ingredients and steam distilled water.

May I suggest that you make your bubble juice well in advance. Juice can hold up for weeks, some say months depending on the ingredients. I make my juice within 7 days before the event. Test it two days after juicing and the day before the event.  

Setup

Regarding setup, Mike Millers giant bubble party videos are very helpful...  https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=giant+bubble+party

Marketing

Your target audience is kids. Parents are a plus and seniors love bubbles too. That said focus on parties, daycare centers, nursing homes, other festival venues, science centers and such.

Marketing Material

Send out materials such as flyers, email and web based invitations across social networks well in advance. Make a press release and post in community papers and mags.Send out bi-weekly countdown notices via website and social networks.. 

Event Management

Assign someone to oversee safety, quality control and accident prevention

Assign someone to an information table

Assign someone to a welcome table

Assign someone to do bubbling demonstrations

Assign someone to games and activities

Be very inclusive, welcoming and give plenty of commendation.

Games and Record Breaker Activities

Consider games that don't require a lot of running as juice gets very slippery on the ground.

Feature bubble size and number of bubbles record breakers

Demonstrations

Demonstrate how to hold the wand and make bubbles. The best way to demonstrate is to do some bubbling yourself using a variety of wands. 

Entertainment

Background music is nice but keep it light, and be discreet regarding titles.

Media

Make sure you have someone take quality pictures and video of the event. Be prepared to provide a brief interview with the local news and radio stations.

For more info regarding getting started you'll find some helpful info on the soap bubble wiki at http://soapbubble.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_Started

Supplies and Materials

Supplies vary depending on the details of your performance, activities, presentations, theme, etc.
If you're looking for a great place to purchase supplies go to the Bubble Show Store.

Bubbles of Joy

The message in the art of blowing bubbles is so powerful no
words and explanations are required.  

What holds an audience captive by making them remember an almost forgotten childhood innocence and joy while leaving them spellbound and smiling all the way back home.  

We've listed videos posted on Youtube that seem to do just that and we dare you not to smile.

About The Author

Last summer, while throwing an entertaining bubble show for Baltimore city kids in the park, I remember spotting a gentleman driving by in a huge red Mack truck. He suddenly stopped in the middle of the road to gaze at the unusually large and colorful glistening bubbles floating high above our heads. He said he was blocks away and had to turn back around to see this spectacle. I knew he got the message and his day was made a little bit brighter.

Nothing thrills me more than to see the looks on adult's faces as they behold sparkling rainbow colored bubbles floating by with an unspoken message of unity, peace, joy, hope and most of all that silly feeling of sweet innocent glee they may not have felt sense they were little kids.
