President Barack Obama Impersonator Michael Bryant

Michael is 10000% just like the President

Everything about Michael was perfect, his appearance, his professionalism, he was an exact replica of Barack. His look was flawless from the haircut to the graying hair, when he got dressed up I couldn't stop laughing how closely he resembled him, at a party of over 100 people EVERYONE was in awe, he gave a funny speech, sang Happy Birthday, posed for photos, it was amazing. This guy is the real deal don't even hesitate to book him, don't shop around, don't look around, he is priced right and gave a flawless performance!!!!! He is your guy don't even look for anyone else.

We had an outstanding experience with Michael Bryant as President Barack Obama. His services were used two-fold. On July 13th he introduced the featured keynote speaker for our particular track (Microsoft Learning Solutions) at the 2010 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference held in Washington D.C. The following evening we brought him back to entertain the crowd at a party for many of Microsoft Learning Solutions’ valued partners from around the world.

Prior to the event we made allusions to a “special surprise guest” introducing our Keynote address but did not explicitly say we had a President Obama impersonator. With an audience of nearly 500 we expected laughter and applause when Michael took stage. However, after the lights dimmed and “Ladies and Gentlemen, the 44th President of the United States…Barack Obama” was announced, Michael took the stage to hesitant applause and stunned looks. Why? Because he’s that good. You can imagine that at a conference like this the audience is a sharp, educated bunch. However, you could feel the air in the room change as everybody struggled to decide “Is this really President Obama? It can’t be. Can it? It’s got to be an impersonator…but…is it?” They knew that the chances of President Obama showing up to introduce a Microsoft Executive for a Keynote address were pretty slim, but Michael’s stage presence and demeanor captivated them and created a suspension of disbelief that they had a difficult time shaking. It wasn’t until the guys that we brought in to be Secret Service agents started to ham it up a bit that the audience finally figured out what was really happening. When Michael launched into his opening statements and introduction he had the crowed eating from the palm of his hand. By the end, the audience was really into it and the response was phenomenal.

The following evening we brought Michael back for our Microsoft Learning Solutions “Party on the Potomac” at the Sequoia restaurant. He was the hit of the night. For the first half of the evening he made his way through the crowd glad-handing and playing up his role. The attendees loved it! For the second half of the night we had him stationed at a photo booth for our partners to get a souvenir photo taken. More than a thousand photos were snapped! Not bad considering there were only about 500 people at the party. Many wanted individual and group shots. Even considering Michael’s success at the Keynote speech the day before, the crowd participation and fascination was unexpected. Both domestic partners and those from overseas were absolutely delighted by Michael’s performance. And those of us organizing the event that had been in close contact with Michael through the planning stages were still virtually star struck watching him in action.

Logistically and professionally Michael was a joy to work with. Not only would I not hesitate to work with him again, I’d go out of my way to find an opportunity to employ his services as President Obama in the future.

Brack Obama Impersonator for a US Citizenship Party

My husband recently became an American citizen. At our celebration, as a surprise, I hired Michael Bryant to impersonate Barack Obama, to personally congratulate my husband, and to roast him on some cultural differences between America and his home country of Sweden. Everyone at the party thought Michael was fantastic, my husband was very surprised and moved by Michael's warmth and candor. It was a unique twist for all attendees at the party and the icing on the cake for my husband, who just reached a momentous and emotional milestone of becoming a citizen. Having Obama at a citizenship party is like the first dance at a wedding-- it's a must!! For us, this is truly a family story that is going to be told for years to come.

Hire Michael! He is fantastic.

“Do not hesitate to hire Michael! He is extremely professional, responsive, flexible, and is dead on Obama impersonator. On top of all that, he is a great person. We hired Michael to entertain our 30 employees during our annual all hands meeting and he absolutely hit it out of the park. We worked together in a highly collaborative fashion to develop a monologue that produced lots of laughs as well as inspired the group. His delivery and appearance was perfect and he has great props including a presidential seal and lapel pins. I would recommend having two people act as Secret Service agents which only adds to the effect. His online videos and pictures do him some justice, but seeing him live exceeded all my expectations and when our group was rolling in laughter, I knew we had made the right decision to hire him! Thank you Michael!”

Wonderful Company Holiday Party with "Obama" !

My company hired Michael Bryant to do an "Obama"speech for our holiday party on 12/14/2012 and it was a great time! He was very flexible with the flight, hotel, and transportation plans that were set up. Michael gave many wonderful suggestions such as getting two people to play secret service men, playing "Hail to The Chief" upon entrance, and roasting several people in the crowd. Everyone had a blast! We really appreciate the time he took to tailor a speech that was funny, personable to our company, and inspiring at the same time. He was very nice in staying back and hanging out afterwards for more photo ops and conversations. We would highly recommend Michael Bryant's services to anyone who would like "Obama" to make an appearance.

Memorable addition to any party!

I stumbled upon Michael Bryant/aka Barackalike Mike by googling different entertainment options for my mother's 75th birthday party. The party was going to be mostly senior citizens and I was trying to come up with something to liven things up! I thought an appearance by the "President" would be fun, different and totally memorable, especially for this group of liberal Unitarians! I had never hired anyone "online" so was hesitant, but had read all the great reviews. Michael was very good in responding to all my emails and it was especially fun when I received a voicemail from him....his voice really resembles Obama's! Michael has a "Fact Finding Template" that assists in gathering information about your guest of honor, and it totally makes his appearance seem personal and tailored for the individual. He has all the right gestures, facial expressions and natural charisma that the President himself has. Basically he just seems like a really nice guy, as is his "personal assistant" Marion and the two spent a lot of time just chatting with all the guests and taking photos. He was a huge hit with the crowd, and the expression on my mom's face was great as she was trying to figure out who this special guest was! He is definately a fun and unique addition to any event!

Michael Bryant was awesome! We had a great experience with him impersonating Mr. President-Barack Obama.
It was my husband’s 30th birthday and he didn’t really want to have any parties and stuff but I didn’t listen. I arranged a brunch with our family and friends at the Beach Chalet San Francisco and hired Michael Bryant to be our “special guest”. I made the introduction while everyone was seated and already eating. I had my husband stand up to prepare for a toast and told him that somebody would like to give him a special birthday speech. Nobody knows about our “special guest” so just imagine our guests’ faces when they saw Mr. President walk in to the restaurant. Everybody came frantic! They were cheering, clapping and I think some were just totally speechless! Michael looked, dressed, walked and talked so much like Mr. President that our grandparents thought he was the real Barack Obama! Michael prepared a personalized birthday speech and that made his appearance even more special! My husband was blown away-I think everybody was. Michael’s appearance was the highlight of the party and we had so much fun. I even thought we spent more time chatting & taking pictures with Michael than eating. The experience brought out the kid in us. People still can’t stop talking about it. We had a blast!
Overall, Michael Bryant is very professional and hiring him was just a breeze. He definitely guided me through the process. It was most the stress-free booking I have ever made and his service was totally worth it! He is super nice and can easily appeal to any walks of life and of any age. He was a sure hit!

I hired Michael Bryant for my mother's 80th birthday party. He was truly outstanding. The look on my mother's face when Mr. Bryant walked in was priceless! She thought Michael was President Obama. It took her a while before she realized Mr. Bryant was an impersonator. Michael created a script that included special anecdotes and stories about my mother that made the presontation personal as well as entertaining. During the weeks leading up to the event, Michael kept in touch and guided me through the process of hiring an impersonator. Since Michael was from out of town, I was hesitant to book his services. However, his professionalism and timely feedback eased my concerns. He arrived the day prior to the event to ensure he was familiar with the location and the room in which the event would be held. After his presentation, Michael mingled and took pictures with all of the guest. Everyone who attended the birthday party was impressed with his impersonation and his demeanor. I give Michael Bryant my highest recommendation and I would not hesitate to hire him in the future.

Michael did a great job. Looked the part, had the right physical gestures, dressed the part, and spoke with the right pitch and cadence as the real Barack. Michael showed up on time, gave tips on how to make the evening more special and make his entrance more jaw-dropping and peppered his remarks with tailor made jibes at some of my guests. He then stayed for over an hour mixing and mingling with my guests and having photos taken with him. My friends mention the party as unforgettable!
