We'd like to present to you an incredible addition to your upcoming event. Charlie Franks has been performing professionally for over 50 years. Most recently, he headlined the hit show "2 Kings", at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

For many years he produced and performed several different shows but is most well-known for his Elvis Tribute Show, "He Never Left The Building!, A concert experience unlike any other.

Following a botched spinal surgery in 2020, Charlie found himself unable to perform as Elvis in the same way as he desired. At his wife’s suggestion (Holly also portrays Princess Mera!), he decided to grow out his hair and beard and to start portraying Jason Momoa, “Aquaman”!

It is all about pleasing and entertaining a crowd, and That Is What He Does!

With very realistic costumes and a very similar personality to Jason’s, Charlie is available for Personal Appearances and Photo Ops.

What our clients have said:
"We should have canned the cheesy hypnotist and had you perform all night!"
"One of the easiest performers we have ever worked with!"
"The best we have ever seen or heard!"
"Charlie becomes Elvis on stage!"
"The largest crowd we have ever had for a show!"
"We have never seen a crowd stay so long and get into the show so much, We definitely have to bring you back!
