SANTA for hire - Peter Brain

This Santa is played by Peter Brain, a university-trained actor with 20 years of experience, and he's as easy with the adults in the room as he is with the kids. He's handled some very big crowds. Lord Mayor's carols nights at Beenleigh, Logan and the Gold Coast have all booked him, as did the lighting of Brisbane's Christmas tree in King George Square, and he has been the Santa on Queensland Rail's Santa Express every year since it began. Smaller bookings include childcare centres such as Windsor Child Care and Morayfield Early Education, family Christmas days for Sandvik Mining and BUPA, the Hungarian Club at Marsden, P&O cruises and a Roar game at Suncorp Stadium. He holds a Blue Card and public liability insurance, and he's based at Hollywell in Queensland.
