I am a professional actor and trained singer w/ major NYC stage and television credits. I can offer first quality references and testimonials from major clients. The system does not allow me to post them here in this first message between us, but if you request them in a subsequent message i can list a few. that you can check out.
Meanwhile, here are a few highlights. This year, on Nov 29th, I am hosting the Tree Lighting Ceremony for the Central Park Conservancy. I recently finished taping the Christmas Special for a popular cable comedy. Also, I am closing the 15th Annual Children's Fund Concert on Dec 9th, leading the audience at Carnegie Hall in singing holiday songs.

December 6, 2023Our Santa was so nice and patient! He was great with the kids, especially the ones who were hesitant. He took his time and asked them questions to warm them up to him. He even played along when they cried to make the photos funny!
He also survived a very long day, working our two events back-to-back, making for a long day. I would definitely recommend using him and this service again!

I am a REAL BEARD Santa. My specialty is corporate and private events. If you have visited a Simon Malls shopping center at holiday time in the past three years, I'm the Santa in the posters and closed circuit video running in the corridors, invition you to have your photo taken with Santa.
This year, (2021) I'm the Santa you are seeing on Prime Time National TV in the comedy skits sponsored by Morgan and Morgan, the personal injury lawyers.
You may have seen me as the bell-ringing Santa in Anna Kendrick's show "Love Life" streaming on HBO-MAX. Or perhaps you recognize me as the redneck truck driver in workingman guise who demands his Constitutional rights on the HBO-MAX show "That Damn Michael Che."
Or you've seen me co-host Nick Cannon's "Wild N Out" on MTV - or one of my many appearances on "Impractical Jokers." Or the many times I've co-hosted the Christmas morning show on Fox.
Santa requests that there always be a bottle of cold spring water at hand. Most of the time, Santa will arrive in costume, ready to perform, ringing his merry sleigh bells. The proposal will confirm hat when it applies.
