UNDERCOVER DIVISION
WAITERS
Our actors, posing as wait staff, will convince your guests that they are there to serve but soon start acting a bit bizarre. A story begins to unfold as guests are brought into the drama. When the tension is at it’s peak, it’s time for the “reveal” where the waiters expose their true identities and the room dissolves in an explosion of laughter and applause. We call this "retroactive entertainment" because people don't know they are being entertained until the "reveal." This shared experience results in "effortless networking," and helps to builds strong bonds between participants. The style of humour is very popular right now and the overall experience offers an innovative approach to traditional entertainment.
ACTORS
We'll work with you to create a character or group of characters that embeds themselves into your group and then start acting more and more bizarre as the event progresses Our actors will pose as a new hire for your company, a fake client, spouse, or any other role you can think of! We will write a custom backstory, sketch, and reveal to pull a prank on your VIP, staff, or family and friends. The power of interactions with an undercover actor can be tremendous, and the unique experience is a potent memory for all those involved. To get the most value, we recommend that the undercover actor turn into a game show host or feature performer for a following feature entertainment piece.
Past undercover scenarios:

there to make people feel like the ultimate VIP's then surprising guests with funny interactions

Doctor Disco - Master DJ & Human Party Favour
Dance Floor Catalyst
Most event planners would agree that when a client requests a dance party, it can be a roll of the dice. Will guests make that transition from small talk to busting a move?

The venue can have the best night club lighting and decor available, but sometimes the guests can’t get from their cocktails and chairs to the dance floor without some inspiration. Doctor Disco is that inspiration! This original character creation adds excitement, humour and buzz to dance events like nothing else.

And when the good doctor starts dancing, witness a flood of guests returning to the floor to get the chance of dancing with him -and getting a great photo of dancing with our human party favour.
Greeting Guests at the Door
Planners can also request the good Doctor meets & greets guests as they arrive to break the ice as soon as they walk through the door. Request Doctor Disco to set the tone at the very beginning of the party by greeting the guests and mixing for photos and laughs before the dancing starts. It’s a guaranteed infusion of excitement and anticipation.
The Event Cops
These vintage–style cops always set a great fun tone for events. The boys in blue meet guests at the door for gag "security checks", screening for whatever hilarious criteria the event organizer wants us to screen for. What a great opportunity to hit an "in–joke" from earlier in the conference, or even reinforce branding or conference theme.
After most of the guests arrive, your personal police will circulate, creating a fun atmosphere, training select guests on our advanced security techniques and encouraging guests to participate in our "Arrests by Request"…that’s right! Any guest can point a finger at a colleague to be "arrested", as long as they can come up something fun to charge him/her with. The social media photo ops are totally "arresting"

The Roaring 20’s
It's 1922, and your venue has recently been purchased by the mysterious Mr. Jay Gatsby, who is dedicated to throwing a party every night here until he sees his long-lost love, Daisy Buchanan.
Mr. Gatsby will greet everyone at the door with his "hostess", delightful and hilarious Betty McBoop -a perfect 1920's flapper. Inside the venue, you'll be welcomed by 1920's - style emcee, Dougie Fairbanks Jr, wearing vintage tails and pencil-thin moustache.
While your guests circulate, they will meet Nick, Gatsby's new friend -decked out as suave 1920's gentleman. Inside the venue, the flappers, cigarette girls, Tom and Nick will talk to guests about Gatsby. Who is he? How did he get his money? Gossip will be spread. Guests will be encouraged to try to pry bits of Gatsby's past from him.
Meanwhile Gatsby will be asking everyone if they know Daisy Buchanan. The guests can tell him all sorts of anecdotes and rumours about Daisy. Add a scandal to the mix when Gatsby's business partner, Al "Lucky" Trombone, decides to crash the party and tell the guests how Gatsby really made his millions. Al makes deals with guests, gets romantic with the ladies and hits on Betty.
At the climax of the evening, Mr. Gatsby suddenly sees Daisy Buchanan -and guess what? She's one of your guests! Who knew! In front of all his guests Gatsby will propose to her. Will she say yes?

Mad Men / New York Theme
Roving Characters
AMC's hit series Mad Men wrapped up in 2015, but our culture is still in love
with the look and style of this show. As an
event theme, it fits all the requirements:
almost universally recognizable mid-century
modern style with shared points of reference
that easily break the ice early in the event. This
theme is a natural for costume-optional events
with fashion that is equally flattering on men
and women, and easy to obtain. Even guests who have never watched the series enjoy the light-hearted fun poked at the lifestyle and social habits of the early 1960's.
The following interactive event entertainment will have your guests laughing and talking as soon as they arrive. The engagement and challenges have been designed to give guests the opportunity to flex their creativity and enjoy some playful competition - while at the same time allow them to mingle and socialize freely.
Your Guests Arrive
Your guests are welcomed by Don Flaker and his protégé Peggy Wholesome. The Mad Men characters set up the context: The guests are all top-notch advertising execs from competing companies on Madison Avenue, New York. Don has invited them to Sterling Cooper for some cocktails, smokes and schmoozing to see who among the guests has what it takes to be Sterling Coopers newest rising stars in the world of advertising.

Mad Scientists
The Characters
Last week, Two Nobel award-winning scientists were booked to host your event. Two inventors renown for their mind-shattering theories and demonstrations that leave guests weeping tears of joy but when they got the details of your event, they cancelled. Fear not, we've replaced them with Dr. Offmeschtuffen and Dr. Von Wankendorf.
This dynamic duo of science almost won the Vienna Science Council first prize for their zero gas-producing frankfurters and came close to Honorable Mention for their Motor Cortex Signal Override Remote Control Unit - a device that allows the user to take control of a subject's movements (to be demonstrated at your event!). They would have won, too, if weren't for a spontaneous demonstration on the judging panel. Apparently not all science innovation judges want to perform MC Hammer's famous "Hammer Dance".
Now at amazing expense, these two almost-geniuses, have been flown to Canada's west coast. Special thanks to CSIS for temporarily allowing them out of detention after testing positive for plutonium radiation. They have prepared their inventions, demonstration and even a travelling science game show to discover Canada's next science super star - all they ask is free parking and a bottle of schnapps.
The Scientists That Greet Your Guests
Hans and Maximilan want to know who they're going to have cocktails with. This is why they will insist on greeting all guests as they arrive with their ingenious PKE meters, to take readings for radiation, alpha waves, adrenalin and pheromones. Each group will get the first big laughs of the night as soon as they arrive - with hilarious one-liners, quick interactions, film-quality props with sound fx, and fast & funny photo ops.

Choreographed Battles
Make your event unforgettable by featuring a professionally choreographed clash between rivals, Captain America and Iron Man. These two have been rubbing each other the wrong way for a few years now. Captain America says Iron Man isn’t a team-player and Iron Man calls Captain America naive and too squeaky-clean.
When the fight begins in a predesignated area of your venue, guests will be rooting for their personal favorite and enjoying the high quality entertainment of this combat performance. How does the fight resolve? No Spoilers, but we will say that the resolution carries a great message that can easily reinforce the overall message of your own event.
Speaking of feature acts, Black Widow is also a great choice. Not only does she look fantastic, upon request this cersatile character can perform a thrilling hoop performance-keeping a mind boggling number of hula hoops spinning with circus-style finesse, unannounced and to the audience’s delight.
