His coat is patched in mismatched plaids and stitched with buttons that don't quite match on purpose, each one a small joke only he understands. The oversized bowtie and gloves are built to survive a full afternoon of tea-pouring and dramatic gestures, and the fabric holds its shape under stage lights for photos that catch every ridiculous detail.
Simple cheek art or a temporary tattoo, included with every visit.
A high-energy dance-off your character leads with the guests.
Plenty of posed photos with the birthday child and every guest.
