JOHN CLEESE IMPERSONATOR

Different levels of service are provided for the many ranging types of events. Usually in the guise of Basil Fawlty, Agent Q, Headmaster roles or one of the numerous Monty Python characters.

These are  basic types of event that I am called for:

1)         Corporate Events

These are generally meet and greet work as an ice breaker at receptions, and or interactive work in character around the dining room tables.

2)         Weddings and Parties

Again, this would be covered with the above items, but may introduce any of the examples below to suit, depending on the bias for full entertainment or supplementary entertainment.

Full on "Fawlty Towers Nights" would normally use most of the routines from the "A' la Carte" section, as applicable.

3)         Formal Presentations

Qualified as a Graduate of the UK School of Professional Toastmasters, also called on duties as link for MC work on stage for awards, raffles and auctions, either in character, or as a toastmaster.

4)         Promotion and Advertising

This encompasses Exhibition Stand work, to Corporate Training Videos and Adverts tailor made to suit.

Fawlty Towers(Table d' Hote)

I usually meet and greet people at the reception, as if I am the owner of the premises, giving the sort of hospitality one would expect from a Top Class Torquay Hotelier. I call for the line up, at weddings or to proceed to the meal as required, then work around the tables totally in character, be it a buffet or set meals. An excellent Manuel and Sybil are also available if required, but probably your needs are greater than mine!

(A' la Carte)  Toastmaster

A hybrid of roles, starting with the duties of announcements dressed, and acting as a formal Toastmaster, then during the meal I would announce that I have received a number of complaints about the food and service, and feel it is my duty to bring the Hotel Manager to account. A few minutes later, after a quick costume change, a rather bad tempered Basil make his entrance. (Only works if the Basil Fawlty concept is a complete surprise).

At weddings I have also been called upon to usher people arriving at the venue for the service, directing cars and late stragglers with a megaphone, when dressed as Basil. Also crowd control for the photographers.

There are additional optional activities that can be introduced using various props, these include the following:

Agent Q

Often used in the line of introductions on stage, a gadget promotion character for sales and advertising also:

Bond Nights

Accompanied by a choice of numerous Bond characters including:

Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, a 7ft 3 tall Jaws, an Odd Job,  Miss Moneypenny, Bond Girls and a complete stunt action team.
