Vinyl Burns (New Zealand) - A hit in 1972 Las Vegas, Vinyl’s show business career has since dwindled but his enthusiasm hasn’t. Vinyl has relocated his international playboy lifestyle to New Zealand so now you have the privilege of his effervescent company. Vinyl is not quite the icon he believes himself to be (but don’t let him know!), his style and grace need a bit of polishing, but his charm is still top notch. The Vinyl Burns experience features comedy, improvisation, slapstick stunts and the lovable character ‘Vinyl Burns’ *Website* |
