Damian Blake As Charlie Chaplin

Damian Blake as Charlie Chaplin! The Little Tramp is the perfect choice for your next carnival, corporate party, parade, or themed event! An artist and actor by trade, Damian has spent over 15 years studying Chaplin's mannerisms and style, and has acquired perhaps the most authentic period costume of any Chaplin impersonator...anywhere! He has appeared in various shows and productions, and entertained at Coney Island, Starlight Theater, the Folly Theater, and with the KC Society of Burlesque! Not only is Damian Blake a spot-on Chaplin, he will entertain your guests for hours with his bottomless bag of tricks and bizarre, old-timey props! Plate spinning, juggling, balancing, slight of hand tricks, hat tricks, cane tricks, smoking tricks, and a very dangerous custard cream pie! The Tramp is also available with his highwheel Penny Farthing bicycle, which adds an old-fashioned flavor to any parade or carnival. For a truly authentic experience, pair Charlie with a Keystone Kop! Anyone can waddle around in baggy pants and a derby hat, but Damian Blake truly brings life back to the Tramp character. A trained actor of the stage, and a master of pantomime and physical comedy, Damian's Charlie Chaplin clown will delight young and old.

Looking for something else? Damian is also available as BINDLESTIFF WILLY, one-half of a Vaudeville-Burlesque duo with singer/dancer Annie Cherry. Bindlestiff Willy provides the KC Society of Burlesque with traditional baggy-pants comedy, pantomime, vaudeville routines, and the occasional striptease. His name says it all: it's both a hobo tribute (Bindlestiff: a tramp that carries a bundle, usually tied to a stick; Willy: another word for a tramp, and tribute to Emmett Kelly's 'Weary Willie') and horrible pun (Bindle-STIFF WILLY). Annie and Bindlestiff have performed all over Kansas City, with numerous bands, in countless venues, and with such names as the Amazing Clownvis, The Rumblejetts, and Big John Bates & The Voodoo Dolls.
