Paradox the Robot
His ability to quickly improvise, mingle and incorporate audience’s reactions into the act is both subtle and surprising. Paradoxically, this robot is really human!
Charlie Chaplin
Everybody loves Charlie who seems to walk straight out of a black and white silent movie. There he is, entertaining people waiting in a line-up. Kids and adults will recognize or discover this extraordinary clown, maybe the greatest, that was Charlie.
Mr. Soup
There goes Mr. Soup, a thin-skinned life-loving chef from the south of France, who makes everybody laugh at the food court. 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.
Casimir the Wooden Soldier
Casimir is a proud soldier who is on charge of security on the site.Unfortunately, he is a little confused and cowardly to the amusement of everyone. Casimir’s 17th century style costume will also add a nice visual touch on the fairgrounds.
Bolt the Robot
He is a completely new character. This friendly and gentle robot will delight the younger children and impress the older bunch.
