What to expect
We tailor our performance to the wishes of the client. In general you can expect a warm and jolly interaction with Santa who is a gifted story teller and can sing well, leading your guests in holiday sing-a-longs. We have performed at parties, both private and corporate, tree lighting ceremonies, school visits, etc.
We truly love the Christmas Holiday and that comes through in every performance.
Santa and Mrs. Claus know a plethora of holiday traditions and stories.
About
Olde North Santa is a veteran actor who provides an immersive experience. After and during the event you will believe you really met Santa and so will your guests. I have been trained by the best Santa Schools in the country. In addition I have stage experience in other roles. I can sing, tell stories, jokes or just listen to the children.
I have a genuine twinkle in my eye and a hardy "Ho, Ho, Ho". I am rather tall at 6'4" and have been likened to the Santa in The Polar Express.
Mrs. Claus can be hired to accompany Santa for an additional fee. She is a gifted tailor and makes all out outfits. She will entertain children with stories and generally keep them involved while they wait to speak to Santa.
We specialize in immersive events.
Additional booking notes
We have no special requirements. Santa can provide his own throne and Mrs. Claus chair for an additional fee if you wish. Although we are in our sixties we are still very mobile.

Influences and inspiration
I have been performing as Santa for 10 years. I decided to do this when children kept approaching me at all times of the year calling me Santa. This was before I had a Santa outfit! Friends and Family kept telling me I would make a wonderful Santa so I took the plunge after a very wonderful encounter with a mom and small child in a grocery store.
Our favorite Christmas movie is Miracle on 34th Street and influenced us to be the most professional Clauses we can be. I love reading the Christmas lore of other nations, and include those stories in my act.
I try to watch all the Christmas movies I can because children are heavily influenced by those and they expect Santa to be "in the know".
Setup requirements
For long events we prefer a traditional Christmas setting with comfy chairs
