THINGS TO DO IN SELF QUARANTINE NO 6 : Become a Quick Change Artist

 

When it comes to learning how to become a Quick Change Artist then we really need to learn from the undisputed master.  60 year ENNIO MARCHETTO is an openly-gay Italian comedic live entertainer who is known as The Living Paper Cartoon., and whose dazzling performances feature quick-change artistry, impersonations and his trademark bi-dimensional paper costumes. 

In his one-hour show he goes through more than 50 costume changes, in front of the audience without hiding behind drapes or screens and without any assistance by stage hands. In the last 30 years Marchetto has performed in over 170 countries and has been seen by more than one million people.

In the 1990’s he was a regular fixture on British TV and in the video below he is performing for HM The Queen at The Royal Variety Show in 1998.

 

Marchetto will also inspire you to let your inner drag queen out whilst you are stuck at home without the need to get the sewing machine out and run up a frock.  Here he is doing Whitney Houston and Tina Turner
