He pours tea before anyone asks for it, spins a riddle out of thin air, and somehow turns the whole room topsy-turvy in under a minute. This eccentric tea-party host collects odd hats and odder questions, and he's rehearsed his own particular brand of nonsense until it feels completely unplanned. He'll want to know the birthday child's favorite color before he even sits down — it changes which riddle he tells first.

His coat is patched in mismatched plaids and stitched with buttons that don't quite match on purpose, each one a small joke only he understands. The oversized bowtie and gloves are built to survive a full afternoon of tea-pouring and dramatic gestures, and the fabric holds its shape under stage lights for photos that catch every ridiculous detail.
Simple cheek art or a temporary tattoo, included with every visit.
A high-energy dance-off your character leads with the guests.
Plenty of posed photos with the birthday child and every guest.
