Scouse Ex-Con Character for Live Prank
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I'm looking for someone to embody a Scouse ex-con character with a bit of a twist for a live performance. The purpose of this character is primarily comedic, adding an element of surprise to the show.
Key Responsibilities:
- Portray a Scouse ex-con character
- Engage with the audience in an unexpected, humorous way
- Adapt to unexpected audience reactions and keep the performance on track.
- Maintain the ex-con character consistently throughout the performance.
- Collaborate closely with the show’s director and crew to synchronize the performance seamlessly.
- Perform crowd work and include audience members in the act smoothly.
- Maintain high energy levels to keep the audience entertained throughout the performance.
- Conduct character research to bring authenticity and depth to the role.
- Create and use memorable comedic catchphrases that resonate with the audience.
- Incorporate feedback from rehearsals and test performances to improve the act.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Strong acting skills, particularly in comedic roles
- Ability to improvise and interact with a live audience
- Familiarity with Scouse dialect and culture
- Previous experience with live performances, particularly in comedy or prank shows, would be a plus.
This is all about delivering a 'proper wind up' to the audience, so a good sense of humour and timing is essential.
The performance will take place in an indoor venue.
