In celebration of the total eclipse seen in the USA today, let us share when The Three Waiters experienced a Total Eclipse of the Heart!

At the end of another busy and exciting week for The Three Waiters, we were delighted to perform at the very beautiful wedding of Rhiannon Stock & Mark Bailey, which was set in the glorious rolling countryside of Powys Wales.

In addition to the wedding party itself who all looked resplendent, celebrity Rock Diva Bonnie Tyler was amongst the invited guests and happily posed with our delighted performers after the show. “They were fabulous”, she said.”Absolutely amazing!”
​
Coming from Bonnie, it just doesn’t get any better than that !

"You aren't so special," I heard an angry person say to someone the other day. How sad for them. Don't they know everybody is special?

I was traveling down to Florida to perform for the 100th Anniversary of the Port of Palm Beach. Serious fun with some cool history thrown in, a chance to spend time with an awesome client, and to perform with The Three Waiters guys.

I decided to use Uber from the airport to my hotel and the instant I booked it I got a call from a very efficient sounding voice named Myron. He wanted to know exactly where I was standing and exactly what I was wearing and he pulled up about a minute later, popping the trunk as he slid to a stop.

"Want some water?" he asked, as he struggled to contort his body into a water passing position. Myron was no spring chicken. I'm not a good judge of age, but I'd say mid 70s. "Can you believe some people try to pay me for the water?"

He asked me about myself and I told him two or three of the big facts, and we settled into some small talk. I asked him how long he had been in Palm Beach and told me that and more.

I'm going to put this in bullet points for "Uber" impact:

• He's lived in Palm Beach for 10 years.
• His wife had a serious bout with cancer since moving down and has spent much of the last few years in chemo and radiation. "She's doing good, though, and she's thinking of getting back into bowling."
• He was born in Brooklyn, and spent his career running a Manhattan electrical contracting firm with nearly 100 employees.
• On September 11th, the first plane hit the North Tower precisely in the section and on the side where his lifelong best friend worked. The second Myron heard he called and called his number. He recited the number to me 3 times very quickly.
• Myron's son was walking away from the towers when the South Tower was hit, and landing gear impacted less than 100 feet from him.
• He spoke at his friend's memorial, in front of 2,000 people, and his goal was to keep everyone laughing. "It's not about how we feel, it's about honoring him. He was a great guy. He was a happy guy."
• Myron's business took a huge hit, like so many after September 11th. He pumped money in it, draining his savings, trying to keep it afloat. He finally had to close it. "I should have sold it when I had the chance."
• "I wish my daughter would get back into stand-up. She is really good!"

We pulled up to the hotel. He turned around and smiled and told me to "have a great day." I got out of the car, and found that I didn't want to leave. I wanted to talk to the guy who nearly lost his wife, lost his best friend, lost his business, lost his savings, and was spending his retirement years driving an Uber car. He was positive, friendly, and amazingly inspirational.

It's Tuesday, and we are all up to our elbows in proposals, visa issues, load-in times, sound checks, contracts, and invoices. Sometimes our world seems no bigger than our desk and our desk seems as big as the world. Take a moment to remember we are all in this together. Say a good word to someone. Ask them how they are. Prepare to be inspired.

On this #TBT we share a fun performance from the past!

​Australia Office 1300 411 040​UK Office +44 20 3122 1982USA Office +1212 239 0908We were privileged to be called to Singapore to perform for none other than His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco at a special fundraising event for the Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco. As His Highness had seen and loved The Three Waiters in the past, we had to come in a new disguise.

Happily, the Prince and his guests enjoyed our performance just as much as the first time, and indeed were as completely taken by the ruse as they had been with The Three Waiters. In fact, the Prince actually called one of our performers, masquerading as a Two Star Michelin Chef, over to his table for a private audience earlier in the evening. Imagine his surprise later when the chef returned and turned out to be a world class singer!
​
Remember, if you have had The Three Waiters for your event and wished you could have them return, we have a number of imaginative ways that we can return and surprise your guests again and again. Contact your local office to learn about your options: USA, United Kingdom, Australia.

What a memorable night, with a Royal Standing Ovation!

Credited to working with over 12,000 events throughout the past 23 years, there is no doubt that Bradley, the Creative Director and CEO of the company, is one of the worlds most experienced authorities in the field of special event entertainment.

Previously a professional singer of opera and music theatre, by 1997 Bradley was at the top of his field as a professional social and event photographer shooting for publications as Vogue, Mode, Marie Claire, and a long list of clients as Cartier, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Moet & Chandon to name a few.

One evening after jokingly dressing as a “waiter” with a colleague and singing Christmas carols at an event for Lachlan Murdoch, Bradley came up with the idea of forming an act with three singers dressed as waiters, sending up The Three Tenors.

The rest is history. About to hit 12,000 performances in 90 countries, we now employs over 100 performers across the globe with shows based out of London, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Along with The Three Waiters, we continue to expand and introduce new shows into the market place.

“To stay on top one must deliver both innovation and quality,” says Bradley. “We take great pride in tailor making shows to suit the individual client.”
