Caricatures, Comedy & More for Your Next Party and Event

Hello my name is Bill Begos. I'd love to perform at your next celebration. I offer a variety of choices. Featuring the "Comedy & Caricature Show". The show consists of standup comedy, extra-large drawings, 3 foot caricatures, music and improvisational fun. Shows are either 30 minutes, 45 minutes or one hour in length. They can be customized to fit any demographic. Family friendly or adult fun, the choice is yours.

These shows are perfect for corporations, libraries, schools, private parties, trade shows, festivals and day camps. They are designed to fit any venue. When performing for libraries and schools please think of me as an "Edu-tainer". I combine learning with the fun.

Also offering caricature fun for your next private or public event. Hire a caricaturist for 3 hours or the whole day. Standard size caricatures or extra-large, the choice is yours. Now offering live digital caricatures, please call for details. Caricatures at your next event are fun for all the attendees, whether they are the drawn or they are just watching the fun develop live before their eyes. This entertainment is for children of all ages. I probably draw more adults over the year than I do kids. So let loose and bring the silly to your next party.

At Comedy, Caricatures & More we can bring a standup comedy show to your next event. Standup comedy is great for festivals, clubs, corporations, fundraisers and private functions. So give us a call and we will bring the funny. Featuring 2-5 person shows depending on budgets and needs.

Remember Comedy, Caricatures & More can provide any type of the entertainment for your event. Choose from comedians, caricature artists, face painters, roaming magicians, stage magicians, psychics, tarot card readers, henna tattoo artists and so much more. Please call for prices and availability.
