Gary Brown as Austin Powers

Austin Powers is on a rampage! It started when Gary Brown, known for his wonderful impersonations and performance skills, used his “pleasure time” dressing up and impersonating this well known character. From then on, his mojo went loose, and he has performed this role on many occasions.

Austin Powers aka Gary is a Man of all Trades, from dance routines, singing those well known 60’s tunes, to enticing the crowd to participate in events and capture the energy around them. He makes a great MC for your awards night or gala dinner fitting into a host of themes or eras - let's face it the boy is timeless!
