Comical Paparazzi

A red-carpet act built around mock paparazzi photographers, roving through a room or stationed at an entrance to greet guests as they arrive. Camera flashes and a run of tongue-in-cheek questions make up the routine, playing on the idea of celebrity rather than any real news gathering. Based in Melbourne, more than one performer can be booked at once to build up a bigger welcome at a venue's entrance. It suits Hollywood and awards-style themes especially well, though the format works as a straightforward meet and greet just as easily without a theme attached.
