Damian Blake as Charlie Chaplin
**AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE! Currently booking from coast to coast!**
A lifelong fan of Charlie Chaplin, Damian's obsession began at the age of two, when his parents showed him a copy of 'The Gold Rush'. Instantly hooked, his love of Chaplin turned into a childhood obsession with silent film, which has turned into a career in the performing arts where he is now able to channel these unique characters and slowly spread across the globe.
His tribute to Charlie the Tramp comes not only from his deep admiration for Chaplin the artist, but also for the unique everyman-character he created. Having studied every detail of Charlie's mannerisms, costumes, and personality for 20-plus years, Damian Blake is able to bring you a heartfelt and accurate tribute, perhaps one of the most unique to date. Using the skills he has honed as a sideshow-variety performer, Damian incorporates pantomime, juggling, sleight of hand, acrobatics, and humorous sight gags to every performance.
Damian has provided silent comedy to countless venues across the United States, in commercials, nightclubs, theaters, weddings, event spaces, corporate functions, historic landmarks, and private parties... and the list keeps growing. He recently performed a week long event at the NAB Convention in Las Vegas, private events in New York, Hollywood, Chicago, has taught a class on Chaplin movement at the University of Berkeley, CA, and is a frequent guest performer at the Virginia Beach WW1 Museum.
If you need a proper Charlie Chaplin for film, print, or to entertain in the flesh, look no further than Damian Blake.
He is available as a walk-around character, interacting with your guests, and as a stage show of varying lengths.
He is also available for motion pictures, commercial work, photo shoots, and can travel internationally for a modest travel and lodging fee.
