Live Entertainment For All Ages

WHOLESOME ENTERTAINMENT

It seems to be harder to find wholesome entertainment these days. We’re not talking about animated features (that’s a whole other subject) but live Entertainment that’s appreciated by not only the younger audiences but the parents as well.

Wholesome Corporate Entertainment

Too much to ask in a corporate setting?

It doesn’t take one long to sit and realize that entertainment has changed radically over the past 20 years. Most “entertainment” now must include potty humor of some kind as well as a lot of pop slang that is here today and gone tomorrow (again, another story in itself)…

Live Party Entertainment fit for all audiences

So here you are. On a corporate outing. You’ve done well this year and you got a few days on the company’s dime to network but to also R&R with the kids at some swanky resort. You end up at the main party, culminating your stay, and during your dinner, a comedian appears…Your 9 and 13 year olds are with you…you’ve noticed a few other co-workers have theirs there too. The show gets a bit racy and you’re forced to make a quick exit to avoid any potential birds and bees questions later in the hotel room. Night over with no desert.

One of the most overlooked demographics of a corporate party (and corporate acts) are our younger attendees. We wonder why so many acts out there are so oblivious to their audience. One reason is that they have “set shows”, meaning that their script or song list is set and it cannot be changed once they are on site. No flexibility can kill a night.

Event Solution Entertainment

If you are an event planner or planning an event, one thing to ask an act like a comedian or specialty live act you are considering, is “Do you have a clean show?” or tell them “We have a wide range of party-goers at this particular event, do you have age appropriate material?” You can gain a lot of information as to what’s said next.

Live Entertainment in a Corporate Setting

There are many live corporate acts very suitable for wide age ranges. If you ask the right questions, you’ll find entertainment that will make all of your guests happy.

The Amazing Waiters in San Diego, CA

Posted on by

This past weekend, the Amazing Waiters performed at the famed Hard Rock Hotel  in San Diego, California for a small group of very appreciative execs with a well-known cable company (Rock on Ladies and Gents!).

The 25 guests went with a Casino/Old Hollywood Theme having roulette, cards, black jack, craps with a lovely Marilyn Monroe look-alike adding to the theme. The Amazing Waiters, of course, were in waiter garb, one as the Assistant Catering Manager and the other as a good ole’ waiter, passing trays during the gambling and festivities, blending in giving great face time and getting acquainted with the guests.

Marilyn presented some awards with the CEO, dinner came out and then it was showtime!

James started this show with a funny schtick about music and the history of the Hard Rock and immediately went into Elvis’ Blue Suede Shoes.  Of course, as most of our Waiter shows go…there is some chaos as to whether it was a show or not (and that’s the way we like it) while they sang hits from the Rat Pack and Old Hollywood Era!  Allie, our lovely latest addition to the singing waiter family, wowed the guests with some amazing renditions of “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” made famous by Marilyn, of course, and “Fever” which was a highlight of the evening, later joining James with a duet of “Fly Me To The Moon” and an encore stunner, Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face”. 

The Hard Rock has some lovely rooms with large wall art of famous Rock artists.  Our green room, for instance, featured the famed Jim Morrison

from the rock band, “The Doors”.  We couldn’t resist taking some pics with Jim looking over us.  The girls had to have some more shots with the rock legend, proving that his allure with the opposite sex is still pretty darn strong.

For more information on this show, we invite you to visit our Facebook page.  For more information on some cutting-edge performance options using one, two or three Amazing Waiters, visit our website,  www.AmazingWaiters.com

We look forward to hearing from you!

The Amazing Waiters – an original made in the USA

Posted on by

Our group originated in the good ole’ USA. 

Amazing United States Singing Waiters

There are no other Singing Waiter Acts that do what we do in the USA.  Get the original made in the USA.

A little known factoid is that the Modern Singing Waiter act was a collaborative effort between hotel owners in Western Europe and some singing waiters in a little restaurant in the Hollywood, California area around 1987.

Upon seeing the value of bringing “foreigners” to Europe, the hotel owners (a group of owners) decided to do a test run.  The following Winter, history was made, The Singing Waiter group in all their American splendor and American charm, plopped down their music binders and began honing their shows in front of live audiences.  Armed with medleys from Broadway Shows and Operatic Arias, the 5 singer group sang acoustically in smoke-filled rooms for hours each night.  The live pianist played and played…and then when the night was over, they did it again the next night, serving up quality Broadway-Styled entertainment to Europeans who had only, in many cases, listened to their tapes of Broadway shows.  This was unique, cutting-edge and the first of its kind on a large scale.

As time went by, the European Economy changed, flights got more expensive, hotels weren’t booked to capacity and the Singing Waiter tours got shorter and shorter.

It was then when two men, named James and Doug, decided to bring the Original Singing Waiter act “home”, to the US.  So in 2007, after a 20 year successful European run and thousands upon thousands of performances, this singing waiter act came home to the USA.

It was an interesting time, there were several copy-cat acts…some with a modicum amount of success and even others that falsely claimed to be the “original singing waiter act” (and still do, unfortunately).  So, in the midst of all this, the group retooled its own act and set out to reacquaint US event party planners, booking agents and Americans with the real original Singing Waiter act!

The group retained it’s original  5 person/performer shows in the European-Style they created and with the leadership of James (one of the partners), co-created The Amazing Waiters, a Singing Waiter Act, in the tradition of the original group but offering a maximum of three singing waiters performing highly-customized shows at very desirable price points.

There are still copy-cat acts out there, many of which, ironically were not created in the United States (some actually from Europe).  The only way to know that you are getting the original, is to go to the website, here.

Get the only US-Branded Singing Waiter Group with the lineage to prove it.
