Award-Winning Caricaturist | Fast, Funny & Unforgettable Entertainment

The best events are the ones your guests never stop talking about — and that’s exactly what I deliver.

I’m an award-winning caricaturist creating quickfire, hilarious portraits while mingling effortlessly with your guests. Whether it’s during a drinks reception, while you’re off having photos taken, or during quieter moments later in the day, I keep the atmosphere lively, social and full of laughter.

Each caricature takes around 3–4 minutes, making it perfect for weddings, private parties and corporate events where you want both entertainment and a memorable takeaway. Guests don’t just watch — they become part of the experience, and leave with a personalised piece of art they’ll keep and talk about long after the event.

If you’re looking for something unique, interactive and genuinely memorable, live caricatures are the perfect addition.

Weddings: I am often booked to entertain at weddings, drawing really quick 2-3 minute caricatures of the guests aimed at getting a laugh before moving on to the next group. Caricatures are an ideal memento of your special day and being Mix and Mingle I work very in a very similar way to a Table Magician Schools and Colleges: whether its a Prom, an open day, or freshers week caricatures are an ideal way to wow your students and teachers, leaving them with a memento of your school and the day. Christmas Parties: Hilarious caricatures will get your office party off to a swing! Corporate events: Working from a stand or moving around your venue I can provide freehand or digital caricatures that will leave your guests in stitches. A great way to attract customers to your stall/
