Overview

Paul Terry currently performs as Ed Sullivan six nights a week at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas for "B: A Tribute to the Beatles" and also does a turn as Austin Powers in the middle of the show. Paul has an understudy so is readily available to do in town or out-of-town events as either Ed or Austin. His act is perfect for hosting variety shows, 60's revivals, Beatle tribute shows and corporate events. With over a dozen years experience he can customize material to fit any event.

A Reeeelly Great Performer!

Paul Terry was absolutely phenomenal as the Ed Sullivan impersonator at our Elks’ Sullivan Talent Show! From his opening monologue to his performer introductions, quick-witted jokes, and perfectly-timed expressions — he became Ed Sullivan right before our eyes. The attention to detail was remarkable — from the hair and makeup to his mannerisms and voice, it was like stepping back into the 1960s.

Paul handled every moment with professionalism and charm. When one performer’s song didn’t load, he seamlessly filled the time with humor, kept the audience engaged, and made the performer feel completely at ease. That takes true talent and experience!

He’s not only creative and funny but also a genuinely kind person to work with. I highly recommend Paul Terry to anyone looking for a polished, entertaining, and unforgettable Ed Sullivan experience.

Such a great performer

We had Paul as our Ed Sullivan at our annual Christmas event and he was phenomenal and so easy to work with. He has the look and act perfected. Great feedback from our attendees as well. So honored to have him a part of our event.

Khyentse and her staff couldn’t have been more gracious, professional and supportive. The annual Christmas Ball in Denver has thousands of moving parts and takes months to prepare and they pulled it off without a blemish! Thank you for the kind words and it was such a pleasure being a part of such a fun and magnificent epic event.

Ed Sullivan Brings down the House

I hired Ed over 6 months prior to the event. He kept in contact throughout the process, and we collaborated on the show as the show became closer. The Day of the event he showed up on time, and prepared. We went over the program and when "Ed" opened with his performance he had the audience laughing and engaged. His jokes were appropriate, and his routine was eagerly accepted by all. Throughout the show his professionalism showed. He drove over 300 Miles to perform! Who does that? I would strongly recommend hiring "Ed", Mr. Terry.... for your event if you need the service he offers. The audience feedback was very positive. Well done!! Thank You for a great evening of comedy and wit!!!.. I highly recommend his show Gary Clifford - Band Manager

Top notch performance

His word pronunciations sound just like Ed. He looks like Ed. He IS Ed ! Would not hire any other Ed impersonator other than Paul. He knows how to ad lib and even better your script if making a movie.
A real Pro.

Fantastic event

Our fundraiser was for animal Samaritans and we put on an Ed Sullivan show with the cast of characters. Ed Sullivan was our central feature and he introduced each of the acts, which included Topo, Beatles, Peggy Lee, Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, Liberace, Jimmy Durante, and The Beach Boys with Elvis Presley.

What to expect

I have a variety of original comedy material as either Ed Sullivan or Austin Powers. As Ed I sometimes add some comedy impressions of past celebrities such as Joey Bishop, Jack Benny, Barney Fife, Richard Nixon, etc.. Most of my material is family friendly and I'm quick on my feet if I need to learn names of upcoming acts, corporate officers, upcoming events and to share announcements. I can also work meet and greet type events by strolling through a crowd in character and ad libbing with VIPS and audience members.

About

Paul Terry bio: I'm an entertainer who moved to Las Vegas in my early twenties in the 1980's and have performed as a musician, actor, and impersonator from then until the present. I've been hosting a long running Beatle Show at Planet Hollywood for the better part of the last ten years and have also travelled extensively throughout the country as an Ed Sullivan and Austin Powers impersonator. I've also subbed many times as Joey Bishop in the "Rat Pack Is Back" show at the Rio Hotel here in Las Vegas. I love working with event planners in customizing material for hosting variety acts and since the Beatle tribute world is experiencing quite a revival from this being the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four on the Ed Sullivan show it is a perfect time to build your event around such an iconic and familiar face from the 60's. Most of the work I do is family friendly but I can spice it up, especially as Austin when required.

Additional booking notes

I work very simply and only require a lavalier or hand held microphone.

Influences and inspiration

My love of the Beatles drew me into the tribute/impersonation business and I haven't looked back. I stay informed of cultural trends and love the theater and movies and sprinkle in current references to keep my act fresh.
