(starts at the Lemp in
August 08)
May
May is a
ghost hunter. She
is old, walks with a stoop and has very, very thick glasses
and squints all the time.
She is like a female
Mr.
McGoo
. The fact that
she cannot see well is displayed in her costume.
Probably lot’s of jewelry, and her different
clothing choices does not match, (i. e. two different
colored shoes, one stocking, a striped blouse with a polka
dot skirt, etc.) She
probably wears a funny wig and perhaps she gets it knocked
off and puts it back on backwards.
Perhaps there is a moment in the show when she
applies her makeup but does it badly.
When ever she takes her glasses off she squints as if
she can’t see.
(Pics of Mr. Magoo)
- I have ordered some VERY think coke bottle glasses
for this character that everyone can use,
- but you may want to use your own.
- Here's someone who calls them self "MRS"
Magoo. But I would expect she should be
squinting if she doesn't have her glasses on..
Click
here to see videos of Mr. Magoo. Watching these will
give you a fresh idea of "bits" to do during your
show.
Fuzz
Coveralls, mirrored sunglasses, utility belt, and
ray-gun. His
outfit has patches, perhaps a badge, but the badge has no
real authority, (any badges do NOT say “police, sheriff,
etc.), and he looks like a ghostbuster, but he is all
business.)
 
Billy Bump, (or Billy
Lemp if show is at the Lemp Mansion)
Billy
-
Billy
wears late 1800’s dress. Striped
pants, solid colored jacket with tails cut, ascot? He has a
pipe in his pocket.
I think you can use your
"Dickens" costume and modify it slightly for
Billy.

Harry Chin
Chin
is wearing a traditional Chinese outfit with bright colors
and traditional Chinese hat.
He has a small goatee and mustache.
I have used those gag glasses to make my eyes Chinese
for this character. He
talks with a thick Chinese accent.
He is based upon Inspector
Sidney
Wang
from Muuuurder
by Death, (
Peter
Sellers), who is based on
Charlie
Chan
, so you can probably get away with a suit, and turned up
hat, (see picture from Website).
But the preferred is the bright outfit.
I believe you’ll get better audience response from
a bright traditional outfit.
- You'll
have to watch is for 3 minutes and 40 seconds to see
and hear Inspector Wang well.

the Right.
This is the preferred Harry Chin "look".

Be careful with this. Do Not leave it in the room
with the audience. do not put it around anyone's neck,
other than Fuzz.
This is (so far) the only 'wrong' running noose I know
applications for. It to tie a package and ... for tieing
YoYo's. Experts use one loop to make it possible to let the
yoyo spin on the end and to call it up with a little firm
pull. The yoyo has to spin fast and the noose has to be
trimmed carefully.
Starters use two loops and tie it firmly.
Use eventually an overhand-knot on the cross-marked ends.
(This is not the best way to fasten your YoYo. If you want
to use the best thechnique you have to un-twine a
line with two yarns and re-twine one of the yarns by
doubling it with the YoYo in the middle. Free-spinning the
YoYo my wear out the loop.) The
Reverse Eight-noose the WEB.
