Richard Halpern: The Fake Austin Powers

My daughter had her heart set on having an Austin Powers theme B-Day, and having Richard provide his look-alike talent, was nothing short of uncanny amazement! My daughter was over the moon especially after he sung to her. Richard is not only extremely talented, but also professional (kindly modified to keep G-rated, upon my request) and easy to work with. Cannot praise enough and highly recommend!!!

Richard is the best Austin! I asked him to crash my virtu team meeting at work to surprise my boss (who is a huge austin powers fan) for his birthday, and My boss was thoroughly surprised and impressed (I also got rave reviews from the rest of the team since they thought it was so fun!). Richard made the whole team laugh, sang a song to the birthday boy, led us through a dance routine for the theme song (which really got everyone engaged), and had everyone sing happy birthday together! I asked him to join for 10 minutes and he was super punctual and action-packed during that time. Richard was also great in the planning stages and was easily accessible for any questions and very flexible (as I tried to coordinate multiple parties for this surprise virtual event). I highly recommend! Thanks Austin!

We booked Richard to circulate the welcome cocktail party for our wedding weekend. We could not have been happier with his performance. He stole the show!!! He was absolutely hilarious. He is also a super nice guy, and was professional and super responsive/available throughout the process. BOOK HIM IMMEDIATELY--you will not regret it. PS. He is also an ordained minister. :D

Ok, before I even start to tell you how amazing Richard was as Austin Powers, let me tell you what a LOVELY, KIND and SWEET guy he is. He called me just to make sure he knew exactly what we were looking for, what he'd do, etc. I love that he had such a high-level of professionalism and commitment in advance to make sure we were happy. And then when he showed up....WOW! It's a tough gig - you're showing up in a public restaurant, unannounced to the restaurant and our bday party, and you're 110% committed to being "Austin Powers" with no fear. LOVE that. My birthday girl and our dinner party went nuts. Richard's Austin Powers was so spot on - from his look, to his behavior, to his language, to his body language, to his vocabulary, to his craziness, even to Austin's sweet side. Richard doesn't just play Austin, he CHANNELS him. He was SO much fun, and blew the roof off our party and the restaurant. I work in the industry, and I can tell you he WAS Austin Powers. I have such respect for performers who really bring it, and make their top priority remaining true to the character, and making people happy with what they do. That's Richard.
