what we’ve done lately

• Welcomed guests for YHA’s 75th birthday celebrations with roving (raving) red carpet reporters, complete with TV cameras beaming images and sound inside, then as the MC John surprised the Minister of Tourism with some left field questions on stage in a coffee table interview before Frank n Furter took guests on a 'time warp' followed by the international back packers band who represented various nations of the world.
• Three very unprofessional waiting staff at Sky City in Auckland took over the stage at Noel Leemings national conference and transformed themselves into Frank n Furter, Kylie and Elvis before being kicked out by security – only to return to get everybody up and dancing!
• Took over Air Force Museum with an Austin Powers retro night that included Austin, Dr Evil and very sexy fembots…
• Turned Finance Now’s gala night into a 'night at the Oscars' full of the glitz and glamour of the real event with Silly Pistol as the MC and the Oscars show band rocking into the night!
• Opened Denstock Corporation's new building with Richard Simmon's 'disco sweat' supported by a mad shoe scientist and his 'shoe girls' -  then became the 'celebration' band..
• Inspired Foodstuffs Four Square conference with a 'Rocky Balboa' opening and character who motivated delegates to 'box above their weight' and 'be the best they could be' 

• Turned up as Michael Jackson to open the Trafinz (NZ Traffic Institute of NZ) conference in Taupo, then in between MC-ing the conference provided enthusiastic energising characters from Grease (grease Lighting), Capt Jack Sparrow (Caribbean theme), who managed to pull off singing some rock classics in reggae style, extreme deep sea diver Andre who went diving with the Prawns and got delegates warmed up with an early morning ‘disco’ inspired aerobics routine. 

 some 'theme' examples...

christmas themes

Click on the cracker to see our Christmas Flyer

• let us take the stress out of organising your christmas function!
  

  
• creative christmas themes, entertertainment and venues... santa's grotto perhaps??
• organise it early!
• We will work with you to include key company themes and topics into material.
• We can create unique christmas carols that include key people and topics from your business!
• We can provide options to add some special spark for your Christmas function – we have a variety of suitable options for xmas – including Bad Santa, Mr and Mrs Clause… a very sexy Mrs Clause… who just seems far too young for Mr Clause, and depending on availability and budget to can provide a dwarf actor who will be our ‘elf’
• Guests can be greeted by Mr and Mrs Clause who later can hand out xmas gifts.
• Key is roving actors will become the band and entertainment.
  

  
• Photos will be taken by roving (raving) host – potentially bad Santa – turns up late, a little ‘off colour’ and if required... he can morph into Dr Frank n Furter from Rocky Horror, taking guests by surprise with his own special ‘time warp.’
• Photos taken will appear on a screen during the course of the evening. It is fair to say the ‘Rocky’ segment takes guests by surprise and provides very ‘special’ memories for guests.
• Key guests are chosen to ‘sing for their dinner’ as the Village People. They are transformed on stage. This is hilarious fun and never fails to get the audience fully engaged.
• The Christmas crew then becomes the band and entertainment, all with a xmas theme, encouraging guests to have some ‘guest spots’ to perform during the evening.
  

 the great 60s Austin Powers swinging retro show

• Hosted by Austin 'Danger' Powers 
  

  
• The ultimate 'party' host from the swinging 60s!
• Complete singing, dancing package - baby yeah!
• Includes swinging 'fembots'
• Can include retro 60s dancing girls
• Includes Dr Evil and can include Mini Me and Mini Austin!
• retro theming - 'very groovy baby'
• This is a very sexy theme that goes off for any function, conference or event.

singing waiters

• Waiting staff become the entertainment after the band is a no show - Guests are completly in the dark as they are

  

  

  waited on by some very friendly, outgoing and slightly unprofessional waiters.
• The Waiters are on their first trial night and fumble their way through sampling the food and even grab the odd drink as everyone waits for the band to show up.
• One waiter thinks he should be running the whole venue (or maybe even your company??), one just wishes he was somewhere else..  as for the girls... well things just seem wrong...
• They love sitting down for a chat... and even taking some photos - often putting themselves in the photos - could be these pics turn up later in the evening?? 
• After a while they take over the stage and get extra confident as they transform before your eyes into various famous acts and entertainers... they often need some assistance from members of the audience, and
  

  
  you could just find key guests transformed into the 'Village People' having to sing for their dinner! 
• Often it is not long before they security arrives to kick them out.... 
• Sometimes they return bigger, better and more confident than before to rock the night away... if that's not required its been fun anyway!
• This concept has been very well received all over New Zealand for a large variety of clients!
• Yes, we have totally ripped off the three opera singing waiters - but our idea is just more fun and interactive!

The singing waiters routine took our team completely by surprise. Everyone was in the dark and actually thought one of the ‘planted’ waiters was going to get into a fight with our key note speaker for earlier in the day – that just ‘happened’ to be John. The whole concept was very entertaining and the ‘reveal’ was fantastic.. the waiters transforming into a series of famous performers... our team then didn’t want to get off the dance floor! Great fun, great time and very professional.
