Real Beard Santa - for personal or virtual appearances, at home, public or private parties, work gatherings and corporate and special events etc. I'm a British actor and can be an English or American Santa. Lots of performance and improv experience. and working with children, including as a performer at Disney's Magic Kingdom, and Universal Studios, in Orlando and Los Angeles. I also have experience hosting large events as a master of ceremonies. I was a 'Polar Expresst Santa at SeaWorld in Orlando and have done tree lighting ceremonies, Hollywood parties, home visits, community events, pre-recorded Christmas messages and can offer a dramatic recitation of "Twas the night before Christmas".
We had a great experience with Santa Martin when he came and surprised all the children at our Christmas Eve party. He was punctual, charismatic and created a wonderful memory for the kids that they will surely have for years to come. It felt like the real Santa stopped by!
Santa Martin was absolutely remarkable. He made his visit was completely personal. He handed out gifts to the children and even when he slipped with a name or two he turned it into a funny little joke. He was so very kind to our Papa who is suffering from dementia. He read a book to my granddaughter who is still talking about it. And he recited’Twas the Night Before Christmas in front of the entire family. He even judged our gingerbread house contest. Thank you Santa Martin for making our Christmas Eve magical.

I mean from start to finish he was amazing. Read a story and did a rendition of ‘Twas the night before Christmas. Took some awesome photos and was super authentic. Real beard not that fake stuff that covers his whole face. I can’t tell you how excited the kids were to see him. If they were starting to doubt he put their doubts to rest.
Loved Santa Martin. Great with the kids. Played the part from the moment he stepped out his car. Super friendly. Lived to talk and engage with the kids and the adults. Posed for great pics. He was the best ever.

We had our party at our Center and Santa Martin visited. He handed out gifts, sang songs with everyone and had the children mesmerized with "A Night Before Christmas" story. He was wonderful and we hope to get him back next year!
I haven't hired that many Santas in my life but I know if I ever do again it will be Santa Martin! He was the life of the party and a week later everyone is still talking about how much fun they had. We hired him for a movie premiere and he was able to not only mingle with the crowd but he was able to adapt to any and all wacky situations! Couldn't recommend Santa Martin enough. He even brought his own chair! 10/10!!
Words cannot describe the wonderful experience we had with Santa Martin! My mom has a daycare and we did her annual Christmas party last week. We decided to hire a Santa this year as a surprise to the kids and their families. Santa Martin did NOT disappoint and went beyond our wildest dreams. He remained in full character the entire time, was incredibly jolly and festive, and played with the kids for an entire hour - playing hide and seek with them, playing soccer with them, memorizing their names and what they like, singing to them, telling them stories, taking pictures with them, and so much more. We can't wait to hire him again in the future.
Santa Martin was a big hit with the kids. He really contributed to keep the magic of Christmas alive! Very much appreciated.
Best Santa Experience ever! He even sang and told a story. It was magical!
Great
Response from Santa Martin:
Pithy! Thanks! :-)
We had this event on a playground that was already a challenging setting, it was a cold day, super windy, and there were other kids around. Our Santa was simply the best, he arrived before our scheduled time and asked if we had a special request from him. He took pictures with each kid, giving the time to each one and remembering their names, they were about 30 kids! The most polite, funny and loving person, so professional and in character all the time; spotless and with such great manners and demeanor (I mean he is Santa!!!!) he knows how to manage smart kids questioning the most random questions and kids pulling of his coat all the time all while being friendly. I mean he is just a Pro. I can’t wait to hire him again for another Christmas party, honestly your event will be a huge success with him, don’t even think about it. Thank you so much Santa!!!!
Response from Santa Martin:
I cried when I read this! Such a generous and kind review. It was a pleasure being Santa for your family and friends. You treated me with kindness and curtesy and kept checking in to see if there was anything I needed. I left with a doggy bag and a tip! :-D I wouldn't hestitate to work for you again! Thank you.

I am equally at home framing up great photo opportunities for quick 'catch and release' interactions, improvising responses to children, on Santa's lap or at parties and family gatherings, or engaging in witty banter, with adult party guests, or taking center stage as a storyteller or master of ceremonies at both small and large scale events. I have memorized the "Twas the night before Christmas" story and am comfortable performing this at any size gathering.
I'm 6' tall and have a broad open smile and warm friendly personality, which usually means I can quickly put children at ease. I am a British actor, trained at one of London's top drama schools, living in the US for over 20 years. I am considerably younger than I look, as Santa, and have the health and stamina for events which require concentration or physical activity over extended periods.
