‘Mister Maker’ Returns to Oz

Zodiak Kids has confirmed that CBeebies’ “Mister Maker” will return to Australia for a new tour with Live Nation in the middle of 2016 that will include dates in New Zealand for the first time.

Following “Mister Maker’s" sell out season at the Sydney Opera House earlier this year, the character also returns to Australia at the end of this month for his first national tour. A raft of shows will take place accoss seven different cities including Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle and Canberra.

“‘Mister Maker’ is clearly the hottest live family ticket in Australia,” says Graham Kennedy, head of family entertainment, Live Nation Australia & New Zealand. “The word of mouth after his January sell out shows was that Phil Gallagher and his team deliver a truly entertaining show that both the children and parents enjoy–lots of smiling faces as people are leaving and the feedback from the public has been amazing! We are looking forward to extending our relationship with Zodiak Kids and ‘Mister Maker’ in 2016 and increasing the tour footprint to incorporate New Zealand along with more Australian cities.”

The arts and crafts sensation also has more than 100 shows booked for his U.K. tour with Evolution Productions starting this fall, and has performed more than 60 shows with Butlins in the U.K. across key school holidays and Just for Tots dates.

Zodiak Kids owns worldwide television, licensing and merchandising rights to “Mister Maker.”
