Entertainer Jamie Newell’s Photo Gallery of Live Event Characters
Custom Comedy Capers, a Chicago Special Event Entertainment Agency was created in 1990.
I own the company with my ex-husband, Jim Bina. (I know. I know. And yes, there are many stories but not meant for this site. lol) Our entertainment agency, which is bonded, licensed and insured, I might add, has supplied me with a wonderful way to create, perform and make money. I have referred to it as my “waiting on tables” job that every actor must have to survive a career that is as financially insecure as anyone would hate to imagine. (Have your kids read that one if they are dreaming of an actors life!)
We have served the corporate market since 1990. Our clients include Kroger, McDonald's, Disney, BP Amoco, The White Sox, Abbott Labs, All State, Amtrak, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Dean Foods, Eli Lilly and the list goes on and on. We have been blessed with providing the top Chicago live entertainers to these great corporate giants. It's been a wonderful way to support my passion for performing, entertaining and playing make believe. And I feel blessed that I have been able to employ so many Chicago based artists, actors and variety performers, pay them well and treat them the way I like to be treated... as a creative person who works very hard on my skills. We hire the best and word just gets around…
