Ricky Baldwin - America's Santa!  

You may remember this picture from the 2005 holidays! Some people are just made for the role! Ricky Baldwin is an example of appearance and talent combining to make an outstanding entertainer for your event.
   
Meet Pierre the Polar Bear. With Santa Ricky, you get more than just a character - you get a comedy act as well!
Nov. 2005: Garth Brooks & Wal-Mart handpick Ohio's "Santa-Ricky" for TV ads now running on Network PRIMETIME, across the USA.

Santa-Ricky Baldwin was told by Ad Producers that he did not need to audition for the role of Wal-mart TV Santa, as they were impressed by Ricky's demo reel and signature photo.

"Garth was a funny gentleman, posing for photos with all who asked for them, including some with me", reports Ricky. During a quiet moment on set, Ricky looked at Garth and said, "Hang on pardner, here comes a Santa version of your hit song 'Friends in Low Places'", as Ricky sang to Garth. Garth smiled and responded: "Ya nailed it, Santa".

Ricky also booked in 2005, in Los Angeles, two additional national roles:
a) Santa for the soap opera "Passions", air date Dec 14th, 2005
b) Santa (the employee) of Earthlink, the Internet provider. Airing this season (2005).

Ricky's team continually networks among businesses, seeking the top Corporate and Charity Live appearances where his artistic Santa may perform as Singer, Puppeteer, and Comic Entertainer. Ricky's personal challenge is to remedy the frequent misconception that "All Santas are the same."

Ricky uses his real whiskers to portray other bearded characters, such as his Prospector, and a Sea Captain. Versatile and professional, Ricky adds a lot to every project he works. Making his list - for Ricky, the spirit of caring and sharing lasts all year long.
   
   
Brett Roberts - A Rising Star In America!
Magic is one of Brett's key skills. Combined with strong rapport with the audience, and a showman's flair, Brett's magic goes beyond mystifying!

Brett Roberts - magician, character actor, and extraordinary puppeteer!

If you've been to Chuck E. Cheese, you've seen Brett's work. If you talked to any of the hundreds of children and adults every year who experience a Brett Roberts stage show, you'll hear about Brett's work. After working for 7 years as an educator, Brett made the jump into full time entertaining. Besides graduating from the Jim Henson Puppet Program at M.I.T., Brett's puppetry skills were captured in the videos played during the live action segments at Chuck E. Cheese restaurants across the country.

Blending an actor's poise with an entertainer's instinct, Brett keeps his audience transfixed during his shows. He uses magic, puppets, characters, and lots of family humor to keep his programs fun and exciting. Some have said he may be the next Edgar Bergen, while others look to Brett to bring puppet/puppeteer entertainment back to the forefront with his special blend of skill and puppet personality. And then there is Brett the Magician. (Did we already say he is multi-faceted?) Add Brett to the mix, and your event will go to the next level!

   
Brett is a fun loving pirate with a lovable, smart aleck side kick!
Need a wizard with a dash of wacky? Brett will work magic!
