Marilyn Monroe hits one out of the park!

Our Bay Area Marilyn was the surprise ingredient of a recent birthday dinner in a posh neighborhood of San Francisco. We customized the performance to specifically honor the "Man About Town."

Here's what the client had to say:

"...throughout the day we have been getting 'thank-you-calls' and absolutely EVERYBODY loved M.M. !!!! Such style, such a witty, clever, wonderful entertainer, - those were some of the comments! And as I told you, my husband and I together with all our friends were totally delighted! So once more a million thanks to you, Cast of Thousands, and to the great Marilyn Monroe !!!!!"

Our "Obama" endorses Las Vegas

Our Obama lookalike dropped by "Strike Bethesda" on Tuesday, not to bowl, but to schmooze with 300 members of the PCMA. The fun party was hosted by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Association, and the "Prez" put in a good word for Las Vegas as a great place for meetings.

He reminded the event and meeting planners that Las Vegas is the #1 destination in the country for meetings and conventions. Here's why: Not just the flashy shows and casinos! Las Vegas has 6.7 million square feet of convention space, and an additional 3 million square feet at individual properties. Last year 22,454 conventions and meetings came to Las Vegas!

These meetings pumped 8.5 billion dollars into the economy. We call that some kind of stiumulus! And oh yes, lest we forget--Las Vegas is FUN!

President Obama Lookalike

Entertainment provider Cast of Thousands, with offices in Washington and California, now offers a President Barack Obama look-alike for events. The actor, available with "security detail," can greet guests, offer brief speeches customized to the specific audience and mingle with attendees while posing for photos. For comic appeal, the company suggests hiring a George W. Bush look-alike to appear along with "Barack." Other performers available from the company include genies, dancers, cigarette girls, Uncle Sam and many others.For more information, check the box for Reader Service Card No. 102 at

Obama Lookalike appears at Inaugural events!

Our Obama lookalike was a hit at a corporate Inaugural event, hosted by a pharmaceutical company.

Along with his Secret Service agents, our Barack "double" caused quite a stir. Then, when he attended another ball as a guest, someone spotted him and thought he was the "real" Barack! This incident made it into an article in the Washington Post the next day.
