Towards the end of 2022 I got approached by a number of companies asking if I was interested in doing Santa Claus work, I assume because of my grey beard. After being approached by a few companies I decided to give it a go and do a few jobs to see if I liked it. I did three jobs and absolutely loved doing it. I wouldn't have said that I particularly like children but I found I couldn't help get carried away with their enthusiasm for meeting Santa. I also loved the acting challenge and improvisational skills required to deal with all the situations you face as Santa. Over the Christmas period 2022 I ended up doing 25 Santa jobs in department stores, schools, corporate partis, private family gatherings, housing associations and enjoyed all of them. I mostly ended up working for a Company called Envisage who sent me all over London to these jobs. The link to their site for bookings Santa is shown below.

I received some lovely reviews for my Santa work:

Feedback - C29094 - Andrew Theobald - Santa was WONDERFUL! He did an amazing job engaging people and getting them to come into our shopping area from the riverside. He was friendly and good fun, and had lots of people chatting, laughing, taking selfies. We would 100% have him back.
