Dressed formally, in pink T-shirt with a painted bow tie, black & green bicycle shorts / pink shorts (or pink flares during winter), long red socks (or mismatching football socks), white/black winkle-picker shoes, blue pasley cummerbund, black tails or white formal jacket..... Prince Charming [alias comedian, Don Murchison], knocks on her door, & announces he is her date for the night. He leads her by the hand to the car, which is not in fact a stretch-limo, but a very stretched chook! ~ The unique CHOOKMOBILE!... complete with crass PINK interior decor!... After pouring a glass of bubbly for his guest of honour, & crowing (through a speaker on the bonnet of the Chookmobile), Prince Charming drives off into the sunset, for a slapstick journey of adventure...eventually arriving at a restaurant where she re-unites with the other girls!
During the hilarious, "incident" & prank filled journey of adventure - which includes faking a breakdown, in the traffic - he stops the car, opens her door & leads her to the bonnet, where he hands her a very large spanner. Most girls normally initially follow in other vehicless. The faked breakdown is their signal to form the audience as Prince Charming, guitar in hand, sings For She's A Jolly Good Lady. He then dusts her down with a chook feather duster, combs her hair with an oversized comb and washes her hands with water squirting out of the wee hole at the back of the chook. Usually she is helped to mount the chook for spectacular photo opportunities! After the faked breakdown the girls race ahead to arrive at the restaurant first, leaving the hen, pretending as if she is now really on her own with Prince Charming for the rest of the night!
Upon arrival, the girls give her a rousing reception, Prince Charming proposes a toast (if drinks are served), & then delivers a specially prepared comedy script about her & her pending marriage! (We fax you out a Script Questionaire Form, which you complete & fax back to us. It normally takes about 3 - 5 hours to write the script. She receives a copy after the act.
The total cost of the act is $450 plus travelling time. This is inclusive of scriptwriting, preparation & performance.
Let us know where you would like her picked up & taken to, then we can let you know the exact travelling time.
* A popular optional extra is for Prince Charming to stop the car & dance with her on the footpath, teaching her some Ceroc dance steps, during the Faked Breakdown. This can occur at the Pickup Point or destination if you prefer. It often includes a brief appearance on the bonnet of the car...great photo opportunities!...with even more audience involvement! The normal cost is $75, but as part of this package we offer this to you at the discounted rate of $50.
* A fabulous option is to book a special HENS NIGHT COMEDY HARBOUR CRUISE. This is a complete package, especially for Hens Nights, which includes a 4 hour cruise on Sydney Harbour, the Chookmobile-'Limo' Act, Musician / DJ, Carricaturist, plus a fine selection of Thai food!

The video is not edited & footage & photos are then transferred to DVD & CD, then posted to you for a record of the evening. The additional cost for this service is $285.
* A COMEDYGRAM is an another alternative. The character of your choice can come directly to a restaurant.
