"Marc Philipps is a man with many faces.

No matter how bizarre, silly or provocative the part may be, this jack-of-all-trades is without batting an eye even the most daunting challenge. Its strength lies in the improvisation, to paint out of nowhere an overall picture to be interesting for each viewer, humorous and bizarre at the same time. From seemingly impossible situation the native Bonner charmingly and skilfully gets rid of without rehearsal, defined borders and external aids.

Mr.Philipps is the quasi-Harry Houdini of the performer guild, no chains are too thick for this eloquent artist. Gathering numerous of experience in this area yet, the drama student collected even more over the last 5 years monthly in the avant-garde event series Loonyland which commits oneself to sophisticated electronic-music. Known for their breathtaking costumes and roles, Marc represents the heart of the 20-member ensemble in his function as chief performer. Whether in Frankfurt, Muenster, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hilden, Solingen, Aix En Provence (France), Antwerp (Belgium), Essen, Bottrop, Krefeld, Bad Kissingen, Mannheim, Bonn, Bochum, Bielefeld, Fulda, Haltern am See, Hachenburg, Langenfeld, Dortmund, Sinzig, Paderborn, Aachen, Siegen or Bad Neustadt, he was all over the leader of the motley performer troupe on the road. In addition, he was allowed to prove his unfathomable ingenuity even for companies such as Coca Cola, Carlsberg, Absolut Vodka, MTVNETWORKS Benelux, S. Oliver, SanDisk, SWCtv, the international furniture fair IMM, the photokina, ART.FAIR 21 in Cologne and Dusseldorf`s INTERNATIONAL TOP HAIR show. It makes no difference for him whether or not the space to be performed on is a bar, club, disco, hotel, cinema, award show, stand at a trade fair or even a church. Just to the contrary, without regard to loss he continues his highly energetic physicalness and makes a profit from the skill he possesses by converting it into creativity.

His great experience and routine makes Marc Philipps to a terribly versatile and amusing entertainer, for each occupation cultivated a true enrichment."
