Comedy Waiter
Mr. Disaster Comedy Waiter
Mr. Disaster is a really unusual act for those who enjoy a good put-on. Mr. Disaster appears to be one of the waiters, but what a waiter he is...clumsy, insulting and all around incompetent. The real fun begins when people begin to catch on to the fact that things are not exactly as they appear. This act can be combined with an after dinner program for a complete package of entertainment.
