Content

Seeking warm, versatile performers to portray male characters in Wundrful World of Christmas at ExCeL London.

Each performer will rotate between Santa, Jock (a workshop character), Santa’s Helper and Nutmeg throughout their shifts.
A convincing Santa is essential: performers should bring warmth, presence and a reassuring manner, using voice, physicality and costume to create the character. Strong characterisation, improvisation and confidence interacting with children and families are key.
Experience in immersive theatre, interactive performance or family entertainment is welcome.

Each performer will have their own false moustache for Jock and Santa, with a strap-on beard added for Santa. Performers must be comfortable wearing these costume pieces.

Strong availability across the run is preferred. Please include any unavailable dates in your application.

Salary

£23 per hour for all performers, with the same hourly rate applying across all characters in the rotation. Christmas Eve premium: All hours worked on Thursday 24 December will be paid at time and a half (£34.50 per hour).

Gender

Male Only
