The Role
We're looking for a characterful performer to play the Mayor of Hope — a ceremonial figurehead who has travelled down from the real village of Hope, Derbyshire to officially "bring Hope to the capital."

A warm, larger-than-life character actor — think proud local dignitary meets loveable England optimist. The tone is tongue-in-cheek and celebratory. You'll be comfortable in front of cameras, press and a crowd, and able to hold your own in an unscripted, live environment.

Requirements
Comfortable in costume (full mayoral regalia — chains, robes)
Strong improvisation skills — this is a live event, not a controlled set
