All of the above performers form Safire's Magic Light Puppet Company. They have a diversity of skills which enable them to operate not only Marionettes and Hand puppets but in the Chuckle Brothers shows and major Theatre productions specialize mainly in UV and Black Art using puppets that range from 3 foot hand puppets up to 9 foot full body costumes. 

The puppets are not only performed by them but are designed and constructed by Stuart and Jayne in their puppet workshop and studio.

They have performed with their puppets extensively in UK Theatres over the past 5 years mainly in top UK Theatre touring shows, Variety, Musicals and Pantomimes.

They also specialize in custom made characters having made and designed puppets for QDOS Entertainments, Paul Elliott, International Artistes, Duggie Chapman Associates, Tony Peers Productions, Mad About Productions Ltd, Joe Pasquale's Rentaghost, Ghostly Productions,The Ken Dodd Laughter Show and have recently supplied 8 themed UV sequences for various Pantomime Productions over the 2009 Christmas period.

The UV show puppets and Heidi the little girl ghost puppet can also be seen on The Chuckle Brothers DVD "Spooky Goings On" and the UV Barry and Paul puppets on the last "Indiana Chuckle" DVD.

Their puppets are sold worldwide mainly through this website
and past commissions have been sent to the USA, Japan, Australia and all over Europe.

When performing some of their larger UV shows Stuart and Jayne are assisted by Steve Bloor, Huw Roberts, Andy Parish, Hayley Green and Shaun Crawley. In various teams they have operated the puppets on The Chuckle Brothers Spooky Goings On, Indiana Chuckle, Chuckle Trek, A  Christmas Chuckle 2009 tour and the current "An Audience with" and have also performed in numerous Variety Shows around the UK including the International Brotherhood of Magicians Show in Eastbourne.

Recently Steve and Huw performed in Pantomime at The Kings Theatre in Edinburgh in Robinson Crusoe and the Caribbean Pirates for Paul Elliott/QDOS. They performed the Under Water UV seqeunce with 10 of the dancers making 12 puppeteers in all. The scene was created, built and choreographed by Stuart and Jayne and in many reviews was credited as being one of the highlights of the show. Steve and Huw also played parts  and appeared in the production numbers as Pirates.

Safire's Magic Light Puppets were honoured to be booked to appear in The Magic Circle Show at their Theatre in their headquarters in London over the Christmas period. This also carried a good review.
