Michael Carl O'Neil's OWN Unique Characters!

How can these characters be utilized?
What makes them different?

These characters can be effectively marketed in 2 different ways:

WALKAROUND AND SET-CIRCLE SHOWS!

Charlie Chaplin's Canadian Tramp	Charlie Chaplin's Canadian Tramp -- the ONLY "Canadian" Chaplin that performs with his own portable music -- using spontaneous techniques to interact with audiences. Often popular with the City Lights music, or specific music chosen to market a particular event or theme, the character is very visual and flexible to entertain all ages.
The Living Statues Series: (copywritten) Canada's Father of Confederation - the one and only "Sir John A. Macdonald" and "Her Royal Majesty - Queen Victoria"	Sir John A. Macdonald and Queen Victoria's Living Statue interact fully with audiences. The main idea: What if the Statue came Alive?? They mimic monuments from high pedestals, using facial expressions, upper body movement with many surprises - able to attract audiences from a long distance. These statues are a reproduction of a statues with very attractive and polished costumes, flags and stand with sometimes a - smoke machine. Music is included in at least 20 minute intervals with the show beginning and ending with the sound of a "heart-beat"! Indeed very amusing!!
Louie - the Living Suitcase!	Very visual - bright, colourful and loads of fun!! A set of "travelling suitcases" - excellent for different themes as specific signs can be added to him to market and promote specific events and products. Great for adding to the atmosphere of an event!
Meet Mel - The Mountie!	Again, proud to be a Canadian entertainer, Mel - The Mountie adds fun to all events! Designed for this New Zealand tour - more information soon to be provided!
