Characters

Paradox the Robot Stage Act

Here is Paradox the Robot, still as can be. The public, intrigued, observes him with fascination. At last he moves!
His mechanical movements are of a surprising agility.
As Paradox strolls through the audience, excitement begins to stir. When he goes back to the stage with a volunteer, the tension dissolves into great bursts of laughter until the end of the act.
The volunteer is always an important and popular member of the event. It gives the act and the evening a very personalized touch.
Paradoxically, this robot is really human!

Charlie Chaplin

Everybody loves Charlie who seems to walk straight out of a black and white silent movie. Of an exuberant enthusiasm, he dances, seduces the ladies and greets everybody. Everyone recognizes this extraordinary clown, maybe the greatest, that was Charlie. Photo opportunities happen quicker than a flash!

Casimir the Insecure Security Guard

Casimir keeps everybody on line in line! This colourful private is all bluff and bluster. He’s an insecure and cowardly security guard, barely keeping up with all of the chaos he makes for himself. Casimir’s 17th century style costume adds a nice visual touch to the evening. This character is ideal to move your guests from the cocktail to the ballroom in a very humorous and efficient way.

Mr. Soup

There goes Mr. Soup, a thin-skinned, life-loving French chef, who makes everybody laugh at the buffet or at suppertime. This character is inspired by Andre Clerin’s mother born and raised in Marseilles along the French Riviera. Mr. Soup’s French accent and very funny expressions come naturally to Andre.
