Workmen
Construction comedy
How the Workmen routine plays out
Two actors in high-vis jackets and hard hats enter and start pretending to measure and move decorations. The small chaos draws looks and chuckles. After a few minutes of fake work and clumsy antics, they step back, drop the act and sing a lively number that gets everyone cheering.
The act is physical but safe. We use props that look real but won’t damage decorations or disturb the event. Our goal is to create a playful interruption that becomes the night’s highlight.
Safety and coordination
We check the venue layout and talk to staff about where props can be used safely. No real work is done; all movement is rehearsed. We keep ladders and props away from food stations and fragile displays to avoid accidents.
The venue team gets a simple run-down so they know what to expect. That helps us keep the act fun and risk-free while still feeling spontaneous to your guests.
Best time to run this act
This routine is great just as guests are getting comfortable — during dinner or before speeches — when a little noise will grab attention. It’s ideal for casual and lively crowds who like physical comedy and surprise reveals.
If you want it louder and more energetic, we’ll add a bigger finale; if you prefer low-key, we’ll keep it short and sweet. We’ll plan with you so the timing fits the flow of your night.
