Uptown Santa

This "Christmas in July" themed 75th Birthday party was SO MUCH FUN I don't think I've done an event with so many Adults, I loved it and they were there to have a good time! Whenever anyone mentioned that their kids would be jealous I suggested we get on face time so their little ones could join in the fun and that was a blast! Thank you Marsha for a wonderful beginning to Santa Season 2023! Last year was very abundant even though I was brand new to this platform and had no reviews yet!....with the abundance of FIVE STAR reviews like yours you are helping me immensely, already bookings are coming in for gigs 5 months away, I'm so grateful for this, Thank You!

Fantastic Santa!

Uptown Santa was great! His getup was fantastic and he made a point to ask us some questions about the kids ahead of time to provide a personalized interaction. The 4 and 5 year olds in our group had fun visiting with him individually and then singing Chirstmas carols with him. He spent the remainder of his time with the kids playing ! Super professional and very kind! thank you!

What to expect

I look and I act the part because I’m not really acting, I’m a kind smart rugged gentleman in my ‘60’s and I love helping people smile. …when I was a little kid my visit to Santa was a cherished memory, I loved this big magical adult asking me what was important to me and now I’m glad I get to give back…If I can make a kid feel listened to and special that’s a successful gig….I love to entertain children and adults and I’m very good at it!!! I’m happy to memorize a script or names, anything to personalize your event ! When you hire me you’ve got the real deal !! I show up early and I know what to do, (link hidden)n sing,dance read and I Have often been complimented on my voice, I used to be a DJ and I love to have conversations with kids I promise you a memorable visit with Santa..!

About

I grew up in Minnesota and when I was eight I told my parents I was going to move to New York and be an artist ....I’ve now had 12 solo shows and been invited to exhibit at Museum of Moxdern Art... I’ve got a large studio three blocks from where I live in Hamilton Heights, I also teach Art, Science and game design to kids from pre K to High School. .....best of all... at Christmas time I put on a big red suit I let my natural white beard shine because I love entertaining children and adults as Santa
