From laughs to gasps, Adrian has got you covered.
Seldom does one find such a peculiar mixture of talents in man. Adrian Doughty is a dancer, drag artist, comedian, media manager, event organiser, PR king and an all-round entertainer.
He began life as a market trader in London's East Street market in Camberwell, working alongside the Pearly King, selling everything from tea-bags to T-bone steaks. Having been trained to cut meat by his grandfather who owned a large butcher's shop, Adrian worked his way up to become a meat manager at Sainsbury's.
Adrian's banter proved so entertaining that customers would flock to the meat cabinet. It was only when one chortling client remarked, 'You're wasted here mate' that Adrian began to search for a meaning to his life beyond mince and chops.
The days before entertainment
He opened a balloon shop on Eastbourne pier, using an innovative American balloon pump called ‘Easy-Wrap’ that could place a stuffed toy inside a balloon.
This proved very popular and Adrian purchased some properties with the proceeds, intending to become a professional landlord. Instead, he gave a room for free to a friend in need. Then another, then another, until in the end Adrian was running a homeless shelter for 20 people with serious drug and alcohol addictions.
Sadly, the project ran into difficulties. Neighbours signed a petition claiming that the shelter made their area ‘undesirable’, his tenants faced unexpected and often erroneous benefit cuts and Adrian struggled to find the professional support needed for his clients.
Entertainment that caters to every age and taste
The entertainer was born
As the centre faced closure, rather than throw his clients back onto the streets, Adrian found a new way to fund his operation: he became a male stripper. It wasn’t long before he had adjusted to entertaining crowds on a very different level. His act expanded into comedy, various drag acts, balloon dancing, drama, singing and pantomime.
Adrian has a unique ability to transform the atmosphere of any room. However uptight and suspicious an audience may seem at first, you can witness them literally unwinding until eventually they are shaking and sometimes crying with laughter.
Hundreds of families and friends hold a night with Adrian in their treasured bank of memories. His intention is to make every single person in the room happy. He can adjust his act to any setting, be it a raucous stag-night, a children’s party or an elegant dinner and dance, whatever the cultural background.
At every event, he will appear immaculately dressed (or undressed) and full of charm.
Adrian is way more than an entertainer.
His experience and contacts will put your event on steroids.
