The Original of its kind, The Three Waiters® is an international award winning act involving three professional vocalists infiltrating an event as ‘real’ waiters, before taking an unsuspecting audience on a surprise journey of laughter and tears with amazing vocals, mind games, and sophisticated, quick witted humour.

Celebrating its 25th year, The Three Waiters® has been perfected over 13,000 performances throughout 90 countries. The act seamlessly slots into almost any event, corporate, wedding or private, be it an intimate dinner party or an audience of thousands. The act has been carefully scripted to incorporate particular characters performing a careful mix of well known tunes combined with universal humour whilst maintaining is user friendly across a wide demographic and is suitable for all ages and a wide range of cultures. 

PREPARATION

Our performers arrive at least one hour before official guest arrival to become familiar with the space. Our performers wear the correct attire to blend in with the venue (previously organised). At this time our “Team Leader” touches base with the event/ venue manager to go through finer details and timing, while at the same time complete a sound check to make sure everything is in order.

GUEST ARRIVAL

As the guests arrive, our performers (wearing the same as the “real staff”) immediately blend in. Depending on the event, one or more may be part of the greeting team, appear behind the bar, top up a drink, ask guests to take their seat etc and most importantly subtly connect with the guests while at the same time not give the masquerade away.  

CHARACTERS

Alfredo is the banquet/venue/restaurant manager or similar depending on the event. He is of Italian descent. He is meticulous, well mannered, knows his role as a manager, and dressed impeccably in his black “Armani” suit.

Jean-Marc is a Bar Manager/Sommelier/Regular waiter, depending on the event. He is of French descent. He loves his job. Alfredo doesn’t particularly like him (because he is French)

“Third”.  His/Her surprise appearance later in the act takes the performance to another level. Nobody expects a third character bursting in. Depending on the event, the character plays a regular waiter, chef or sometimes a hidden audience member.   

SHOWTIME

PLANTING THE SEED

Timing is Essential to this act.  To plant the seed, early on in the event, there are two short “official/house keeping” announcements by Alfredo.  

#1. At the top of the event or during the first course. (The exact timing is discussed depending on the factors of each particular event). 

#2. Just as Main course is being laid. ( The ideal time for a sit down event. Stand up cocktail events are timed differently).

MAIN SHOW

Once the main course is plated, (cocktail parties have different timings), the main performance commences. Alfredo (apparently) has been asked to sing an Italian song from an audience member leading to absolute elation from the guests, only then to be surprised by a second member of staff joining the foray. Smart, witty dialogue follows and just as the audience think they have worked out what is happening, a third performer bursts onto the scene adding more joyous and curious confusion. The presentation grows culminating in a spectacle of impressive vocal theatrics, and fine comedy, finally concluding with the performers revealing that all is not as it seems. Their true identities are revealed, followed by the grand encore, waving napkins, and most commonly, a standing ovation!

TO NOTE…

-   Much of the show is performed in amongst the audience and the performers move swiftly throughout the room. For OH&S reasons, for the safety of guests and catering staff, all service must cease during the performance.

-   To add to the wow factor, the performers sing on mic to pre recorded orchestral backing tracks through a designated sound system. Audio specs are dependant on the size of the audience and venue. These specs are sent through on a separate document.  

PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS
We require a PA system to perform through. We’ll provide detailed specifications once we receive more information on your venue and what is already available.
