Undercover Superstars…How Singing Waiters Can Work At Your Event
February 15, 2010
People constantly ask us at MIB Music that age old question, ‘How do I find something truly different for my event?’ Whether you’re getting married, putting on a corporate product launch or seasonal do, or perhaps holding a birthday party or other celebration, deep down in your heart your ‘inner Hyacinth Bucket’ comes out (come on, we all know there’s a piece of her inside us all!) You want this to be the best party anyone has ever been to… You want this to be something your guests will comment on for years to come… You want this to truly be a spectacular occasion…Most importantly; you want this to be different to all the other events you and your guests have been to…
So why not consider singing waiters?
How it works
There are various ‘Singing Waiter’ companies out there, all of which work generally in a similar way. We’ll hide three vocalists undercover at your event. Traditionally this will be as waiters and waitresses, although some companies (Undercover Superstars especially!) will now offer a multitude of characters such as chefs, bar staff, firemen, policemen, event managers….even undercover guests!
The characters will work undercover at the event from when the guests arrive, lulling the crowd into the false security of believing that they are indeed staff for the event (but subtly drawing attention so they get noticed – perhaps an overly clumsy waitress, a chatty chef or a maybe a ridiculously pushy ‘networker’ at your corporate event).
At the given moment, one of the characters will draw attention to themselves – perhaps the chef approaches the mic to ask how the food has gone down, or maybe a waiter decides he wants to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the birthday girl…and so then launches into a jaw dropping performance, shocking your guests at their stunning voice. One by one, each character comes out of the woodwork, each performance climaxing the next, and your guests getting more and more stunned each time!
Why Undercover Superstars?
Undercover Superstars are one of the UK’s leading singing waiter companies because:
- We are the first, and currently (as far as we know) the only company to offer this service with modern singers (all the others are opera). We find the modern option is incredibly popular and appeals to a huge range of people, young and old! Our singers perform tunes from artistes like Robbie Williams, Christina Aguilera, Aretha Franklyn, Queen, Frank Sinatra…and many more
- We taylor make each scenario to suit your event, which means working closely with you as the client to come up with a scenario that will keep your guests fooled, and absolutely shocked and speechless at the end of the night!
- Our vocalists are all incredible performers and have a huge wealth of experience, not only from performing at functions but also topping the charts with their own original material. If you fancy seeing a gorgeous ex boy-band member getting your managing director up to dance with him, or twirling your Gran round the dance-floor, Undercover Superstars is the place to come!
- Our vocalists have a huge amount of energy and vibrancy – they love to perform. Our Undercover Superstars have been known in the past to dance on tables, run round the room, perform back-flips across the dance-floor…one of them even ripped his trousers in excitement! We are proud to say that out of the all the singing waiter acts we’ve seen, we are the most high Impact, exciting to watch and memorable! (If we do say so ourselves!)
- We include a PA system and sound engineer in our basic price, which means you always get a smooth show! (A lot of other companies will not provide this unless you pay £600+ extra on top of their normal fee, and if you don’t, they expect you to find someone to deal with the sound engineering. This is something to watch out for when booking this type of act – the sound engineering is an imperative part of the show and we think its crucial to have someone who is experienced with working with the act).
- We also include an ‘ultimate playlist’ option for free included in our service – this means you can choose a playlist of your favourite songs and we will provide a professional pre-mixed playlist to play before the show and up to an hour afterwards, should you not have a band or DJ to follow the act.
What Previous Clients Have Thought…
‘Just to say we had a fantastic time on Saturday night. The guys were superb and got the crowd dancing til the early hours. Thanks for everything!’
‘A big thank you to you and the rest of MIB Music, and of course ‘Undercover Superstars’ for making my party such a big success. Everyone has been talking about how great you all were. No one guessed Rachel was an imposter and the guys on her table were dumbstruck when she got up to sing! The waiter was a big hit in more ways than one…I have a queue of women here all wanting his telephone number…poor guy! Thanks again….’
‘I am still speechless about your performance the other night…cannot believe just how good you guys were…and that my husband arranged this all without me knowing! I was shellshocked….You were fab, our family and friends had never seen anything like it (neither had I)…I’d recommend you to anyone…’
