Steve Taylor's
Ghouls Goblins & Giggles Show
Saturday and Sunday Only!
11am and 2 pm ONLY!

Halloween hilarity is back! Bring the whole family for Halloween hi-jinks with Magical Ventriloquist Steve Taylor. Steve's non-scary tongue-in-cheek hysterically-haywire "Ghouls, Goblins & Giggles Show" will be performed live at the Marie Hitchcock Balboa Park Puppet Theater October 25 and 26, 2025 at 11am and 2pm each day.
Popular Puppet Theater entertainer Steve Taylor returns to delight and enchant your whole family with his eye-popping comedy magic, a surprise "magical marionette" appearance, audience participation and ventriloquist dummy Rudy O'Riley comically reviews "Trick or Treating" safety tips. Magic, marionettes and ventriloquism will combine to enchant your "little ghouls" and "boos," and excite their anticipation about this favorite time of the year, Halloween.
Endorsed by classic "monsters," here's what they're saying; "So funny, it drove me batty!" (Dracula), "I howled with laughter!" (Wolfman) and "The whole thing kept me in stitches!" (Frankenstein).
So, don't get "tricked," instead experience a real "treat" of fun by making memories with your whole family at Steve Taylor's "Ghouls, Goblins & Giggles Show" October 25 and 26 2025 at 11am and 2pm each day at The Marie Hitchcock Balboa Park Puppet Theater in San Diego.
Reserve your tickets today.
Appropriate for the whole family aged 3 to 103. Hauntingly hilarious!
