Applause Entertainment: The Origin Story
Nowadays, a glance at our Facebook page or website will reveal countless stories of big, shiny events, held in meticulously beautiful venues. There are countless, immensely imaginative themes and costumes, and an extensive catalogue of acts and characters, all with the singular purpose of providing entertainment and laughs to the guests. At Applause Entertainment, we pride ourselves to be more of a consultancy than a directory; we ask clients to call in and chat with us, rather than click a “buy now” button, and send out a relevant product. Such intimate and involved services don’t just come from nothing: it comes from a long time – 10 years, in fact – of passion and genuine interest in what we do. So, with this week being the 10-year-anniversary of the launch of Applause Entertainment, let’s look back to one of our origin stories.
Like any good superhero origin story, it soon becomes myth, gets re-worked, released as a mediocre movie, released as a flashier, but even worse movie, and finally adapted back into its original format, so perhaps not everything went as told. Fortunately, Applause’s origin story included no dead relatives, no destroyed home planets, and no radioactive spiders. It goes like this:
The Loaf:
Shortly before Applause Entertainment became official, Meat Loaf was in town for his 2005 concert. While the details have faded into myth or memory, one thing led to another, and our director Daniel found himself with the task of providing roving characters and performers to greet fans as they enter the venue. The story goes that the Loaf (that’s what his management called him) went to a costume store, and picked out all the characters that he wanted. It was Daniel’s job to then fill those costumes with professional performers.
It was early days, and Daniel admits it wasn’t the best performance that there ever was, but for him, it had held a special place in his heart. It was the first time that he had gotten together a number of performers, all from different backgrounds, to get together and create an overall ‘show’. It was the first time that Daniel really looked around, and felt in his heart that his vision is moving over the precipice into reality.
10 Years Later…
Fast forward 10 years, and we are now the largest supplier for Christmas Santas and Elves for various large department stores in Australia. We are also one of the major players for large scale Murder Mysteries. While these are some of our largest folios, we still have many other large corporate clients, and provide entertainment for remarkable events (some of which you can check out on our Past Events page)! We also provide entertainment for intimate private events, many of which celebrate big milestones in someone’s life – such as 50th birthdays, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, engagement parties, and so on.
But throughout every event, we will always remember our roots: providing entertainment best suited for the client’s needs. Now, whether that be finding the right performers to fill the costumes picked out by a rockstar, or finding the host who can provide the right air of intrigue and excitement to a Murder Mystery, it is the motto by which we operate.
We may not wear a cape (unless it’s Friday, of course), and we may only travel at the speed of an email, but we are proud to look back on how far we’ve come. We are no longer the little company who pulled together a handful of performers at the last minute, but it will always be a part of our story. Now, we look forward to the future, where there are sure to be more challenges, but also more fond memories.
