Practicalities

I always try to be as flexible as possible about the arrangements for a performance but I have some basic practical needs.

I need somewhere to get changed which is private and in the case of the Wild Man of the Woods with a supply of hot water for dealing with make up. It is also useful if there is somewhere for me to hide or retreat to between shows or for a break if I'm on walk about at a public event. Also somewhere secure where my personal effects can be stored.

Mr. Beetle can't really do walk about for very long - I can wear the costume for about an hour but then I need to take that helmet of for a bit!

I'm sorry but I don't do two different characters in one day. You need to decide which one you want. I can however vary my material during the day so that I don't do the same performance twice.

Cost

The basic fee is £175 per day, not including expenses such as travel or accomodation. That covers three performances of up to an hour - you decide the time and duration. I may charge more if you need more than this.

I often offer reductions for bookings of more than one day, depending upon the circumstances and I am not inflexible with respect to price. If you have a budget to keep to just let me know - it's usually better to do the gig than not to do it!
