Show Summary
A comedy sketch show for children of all ages, Gigglebiz is fronted by Bafta-winning children’s

themselves into all kinds of trouble. Justin uses extensive make-up and elaborate costumes to
transform himself into 20 different alter egos who will make children howl with laughter as they
get themselves into all kinds of tricky situations, usually of their own making.
