With over 30 years experience of live caricature entertainment, Caractacus is a seasoned expert who entertains at all kinds of events from private parties and weddings to awards ceremonies and  black tie dinners. His crisp confident style is a delight to watch and he invariably attracts a crowd. He is charming, chatty and gregarious and can fit seamlessly into any situation.

Your Event
Caractacus is a maestro of walkabout caricature. Although he is quite happy to set up in a stationary position if needed, his preference is usually to mix and mingle with the guests. This could be during champagne and canapes or table hopping at a sit-down meal or hovering around the dance floor to the accompaniment of a band or DJ!
He works quickly, generally producing 10 to 15 likenesses an hour (although up to 20 is sometimes achievable). Regardless of numbers, he is a great entertainer and the hoots of laughter on each reveal is something everyone will share.
The likenesses he produces are uncanny! Despite plenty of comical distortion, there is rarely any doubt as to who each caricature is of. It has even been said that some of his drawings are more like the subject than the original!

“Caractacus was a star at our wedding. Arrived on time and worked the room really well. The caricatures were brilliant and very funny! He even stayed a bit later than he should have to try and make sure everyone had had the opportunity to get their memento of the day done. He was a really nice guy to deal with as well. Highly recommended!”
- Andrew Langley, Trowbridge.

“We just wanted to say a big thank you for doing a great job at our wedding. All of our guests absolutely loved your caricatures and you brought a smile to many of our guests. We particularly liked the drawing you did of us, it definitely has a striking but humorous resemblance! We would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family.”
- Megan Farmer, Plymouth.

“Caractacus attended our Charity Launch as part of National Carers Week.
The theme of the week was "The true face of Carers" and we thought capturing peoples faces in caricature form might be fun. 154 people attended and Caractacus was kept extremely busy with queues forming as everyone wanted their own caricature done. He was very professional and people were extremely pleased with their drawings. It provided a fun element to the day which everyone enjoyed immensely. We would certainly recommend Caractacus to anyone who wants something a little different for the day.”
- Debbie Martindale, Carer support Wiltshire.

“Our company attended an exhibition at Birmingham NEC at which Caractacus was our resident caricaturist for 2 days. He was professional at all times and engaged with our customers, ensuring they felt at ease. He has an excellent eye and picked out his subjects' features in less than a minute. Thanks to Caractacus our stand soon became the talk of the exhibition.”
