What to expect

Depending on which character you select will determine the basic approach. My basic approach is to use humour in all performances. If you hire Madame Zinga, then you get some irreverence too - think Dame Edna - and you have to be sure that your audience is comfortable with being called out that way. I have performed a number of times that way and occasionally find that some people are too sensitive for the humour of Madame Zinga. For the children, I have two different clowns who are basically self-deprecating so most of the humour is directed back at me instead of the children.

Basically you just have to let me know how you perceive the audience and we can adjust to your requirements.

About

A variety of magic effects, mentalsim and comedy. Specialized in entertaining seniors. All gigs considered. Charity gigs are accepted with stipend. I have more than one magic character to fit most events/parties - includes two clown characters. Gay friendly - Madame Zinga is my drag character.

Additional booking notes

I perform as is but require up to half an hour to preset show if doing something other than working out of my suitcase. For example for birthdays I have an effect where I produce something for the Birthday person and that requires special setting up. Also a full parlour style show requires set up of certain effects. Walk around and table hopping require a space where I can retire to reset effects or clean up the mess I made in my case before continuing.

I have over 30 years experience in theatre, so I am able to work easily with any techs you might have assisting your event.

Influences and inspiration

My drag has been influenced by Dame Edna. I claim to be her Canadian cousin three times removed.

Setup requirements

I am self-equiped for anything up to a small gymnasium. I have capability of tying into your sound system.
