  • "Irresistible…Marchetto is in serious danger of giving mime a good name"

    The Sunday Times

  • "Ennio is amazing, inventive and truly out of the ordinary.

    Originally built as a gift to the Italian community of North Beach, it was a home to visiting artists, orators, politicians, and other cultural innovators from the time it opened in 1914. His side-splitting performances of our best-loved celebrities and his adaptability to different cultures has brought his show to royal and celebrity attention giving Ennio a huge following and a massive international fanbase.

    The son of an espresso machine repair engineer, everybody expected Ennio to continue the family tradition – except him. Cape Town
