Where to hire a "little person" entertainer?

[bigwinner]

Hey everybody,

I've got a little dilemma. I've been given the responsibilities of best man and am working on a good bachelor party prank for the bachelor party coming up in a week.

So since we will be doing some bar-hopping at this party I thought that it might be funny if along the way we bought the bachelor a drink that we told him might have great "hallucinogenic" powers. And it might be funny if a little later into the night (say when we got back to the hotel room) he saw a little blue person that none of us could "see." Sure, it might be hard to pull of the acting on our part but the bachelor is pretty gullible and this has a lot of potential if we pulled it off right.

The tricky part is finding a little person for our act. And with all those jokes about hiring little people strippers for stags you'd think it wouldn't be all the hard to find one.

Has anybody else tried anything like this? Or at least hired a little person entertainer?

Hire a transvestite instead.

Hire a transvestite instead.

Maybe he'll be pleasantly surprised!

And man, here I was thinking bachelor parties were about getting drunk, and getting it on with as many people as possible. Instead you guys wanna make him think he's trippin' all night. Sucks for him!

Listen to this man. That'd be hilarious

Or hire a little person transvestite, that will be load of fun.

Sounds like you speak from experience...

I think Beetlejuice (from howard stern) makes public appearances. now he is an A-LIST celebrity (!) so he might cost you some good coin, but that would be pretty hillarious... especially if you were playing some of his porn in the background!

You will make some lady very happy one day. NOT!

OP - I know you can "rent' a little person. I know people who have...I just don't know where or how!

What is it with turning little people blue? Found this pic online of a dwarf who was hired to be chained to the groom for 4 days as a (extended) bachelor-party prank. (note: unknown location, unknown dwarf).


I guess they have the Smurfs to thank...

As for Toronto dwarfs for hire, you could try the 3'4" comedian/actor Andre Arruda (aka "The anti-giant"). Seen on his MySpace page:

Who I'd like to meet:
Casting Agents or directors, anyone who wants to hire me for stand up, hosting talent shows/contests, bachelor Parties, or Stagg and Does... msg me, and we can work something out! Even if you aren't any of these things, drop me a line anyway and say hello... unless you're a psychopath or you just want money or your a pretty lady with a midget fetish... Ok you pulled my arm. If you're a pretty lady with a midget fetish, you can message me.

His email address is listed on the left side of the page at the end of his bio.

If he's not available or not suitable for you needs (he can only walk short distances without the use of a scooter), perhaps he'll know someone else who might be.

I guess I just lost one of the potential partners. Odds are starting to work against me. Damn

I'm glad to see little people getting employed for something other then being a freak

Thanks for the tip RenegadeX, I've sent an email off to that guy and I'll see how it goes. As much as I appreciate the less serious replies, they seem to lead to a similar dilemma. If you think that I should hire a transvestite, at least have the decency to give me some contact info!

Anyway, keep the tips comin!

Actually, in this case they are being employed as "the freak" - I don't see anything normal about a little person all dressed/ painted in blue!!
