Short Description

Quick fire cartoons and witty entertainment by the North East’s Favourite Caricaturist

Weddings: I am often booked to entertain at weddings, drawing really quick 2-3 minute caricatures of the guests aimed at getting a laugh before moving on to the next group. Caricatures are an ideal memento of your special day and being Mix and Mingle I work very in a very similar way to a Table Magician Schools and Colleges: whether its a Prom, an open day, or freshers week caricatures are an ideal way to wow your students and teachers, leaving them with a memento of your school and the day. Christmas Parties: Hilarious caricatures will get your office party off to a swing! Corporate events: Working from a stand or moving around your venue I can provide freehand or digital caricatures that will leave your guests in stitches. A great way to attract customers to your stall/

What to expect

Live caricatures are fantastic way to entertain your guests at a wedding or party. Whether as the prefect icebreaker during an afternoon drinks reception, while the Bride & Groom are getting photos taken; or as an hilarious addition to an evening event. Caricatures are a sure-fire way to ‘wow’ your guests. I am one of the top caricaturists in the United Kingdom and overall winner of the prestigious Caricon International Caricature Convention 2017. I am able to produce one high quality caricature every 3-4 minutes that many clients keep forever as a souvenir of their day. I focus strongly on the entertainment value that I can bring to an event by mingling and chatting with your guests while drawing them. I aim to get a laugh from a group or table before moving on to the next group and draw the next 'victim'. This means that unlike many other caricaturists who work from an fixed easel there are no queues to wait in and I am able to entertain large groups in a short period of time. I am a full-time professional caricaturist so can be relied upon to provide an outstanding service.

Hiring Barrie was the the best thing we did!

Me and my husband have recently hired Barrie for our wedding at the Le-Petite Chateau. What can I say, our guests loved him, he brought fun and laughter to our day and our guests said that hiring Barrie was the best thing we had done. Barrie is so down the earth and fit in so well and his professionalism is second to none. By the end of the day Barrie pretty much felt like a guest as he got on so well with everyone. You have given us both and our guests memories for life and we can not thank you enough for that. Every time we look at our wacky drawing of us it’s a constant reminder of our amazing day. Thank you Barrie you are such a talented guy and hopefully look to hire you again in the future for another type of celebration Many thanks Mr and Mrs Stafford
