''For our children, the Spellbound Forest drew us in to enjoy the rest of our evening where we saw the amazing Professor Pumbenickel, an eccentric scientist entertaining people around the campfire. We’d heard that this was a must-see show and we’d wholeheartedly agree with this…..absolutely brilliant and the children (and adults) filled the forest with belly laughs! He was without a doubt our children’s favourite performance of the festival and that’s not taking anything from any of the other performances which were thoroughly enjoyed they just LOVED Professor Pumpernickel that much!''

''With his blue hair, lab coat, German accent, exuberant personality and laboratory of lunacy, Professor Pumpernickle is another unmissable experience. We watched mind-bending illusions, mini explosions, chemical reactions and more – all accompanied by the Professor’s contagious humour!''

''around the campfire with the very incredible Professor Pumpernickel (not pumpy knickers, as he corrected us). The blue haired professor is always a highlight. His collections of whizz-banging experiments are not to be missed and the boy was rapt. He even went up to him afterwards and had a chat with him, which demonstrated a huge leap in his confidence.''

“Thanks so much for providing the entertainment for our Tour of Britain events! As always, the children (and adults) had a great time, whilst learning something too. Thank you for helping the events run so smoothly, and also for being so flexible and working around our requirements.
The school groups who attended on the Friday had lovely things to say, so I am attaching a few of the children’s comments, as Professor Pumpernickel (and his amazing hair) clearly made quite a huge impression. It was lovely having you with us again – and we hope to be able to invite you back in the very near future!”

I’ve used Dieter (Tinderbox Creations) on several occasions this year for events at Brockhole on Windermere. He is a highly skilled performer who captures the audiences imagination with amazing experiments, leaving them wanting more! He is very flexible in his approach and is able to engage with all ages.
Dieter is very pleasant and professional to work with. Nothing is too much trouble and he has a very ‘can do’ problem solving, attitude. I’d thoroughly recommend him for both individual events or to compliment a much larger festival.

“ In the market of entertainers Dieter really stands out because of his blend of breathtaking scientific stunts and contagious humour. We’ve worked with Dieter Wadeson for many years now, programming him at a whole host of family festivals and events, his rapport with an audience is tip top, families of all ages sit entirely transfixed. He’s a real pleasure to work with, we’d recommend him whole heartedly - unless you have an event the same weekend as us in which case you definitely shouldn’t offer him loads of money to come and perform at yours"

What a superb show!
Keeps the children engaged and entertained for the entire performance!
When I supply Professor Pumpernickel for an event I can rest easy knowing that the crowd are guaranteed a professional jam packed act that astounds all ages.
The simple use of science in the act makes him not only highly entertaining, but also educational.
You just need to take a look at the children’s faces to see how transfixed they are by him.
Me and my children can’t wait until the next show!

Professor Pumpernickel has been part of the Eureka! Summer Programme for the past three years and his Explosive Science show is always a huge success with our visitors with places in shows highly sort after.
The interactive show is absolutely fantastic and of course includes an explosion or two! It’s also guaranteed to entertain both children and adults alike.
We look forward to welcoming the Blue haired Professor back to the museum soon.
Thank you
