Brian Petre
"Zack Galifianakis"
Entertainer, minister and circus technician Brian Petre exploded into the impersonator field one year ago as the premiere Zach Galifianakis Impersonator of Las Vegas. Having the same mannerisms, expressions, and even his voice, Brian is regularly mistaken for his famous doppelganger. Dressed in any style clothes, travelling in any environment, and even just visiting family and friends Brian is constantly requested to take photos. He is a dead ringer!
It officially started in December of 2011 when Brian, after several years of being mistaken for Zach, decided to play a joke on the visitors of Las Vegas by putting on the famous outfit from the hit movie The Hangover. He donned “Baby Carlos” and made a surprise appearance at the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign. After only a few minutes the line was longer waiting for a picture with Brian than with the sign — he even posed for multiple wedding photo shoots. Elvis was seen bowing his head as he respectfully stepped aside giving Brian the Celebrity spot at the sign. After only an hour, Brian returned to his vehicle, took off the baby, and realized something amazing had just happened. Brian had become “Alan and Carlos”.
Throughout 2012 Brian has appeared at some of the largest conventions in the world, promoting everything from adult diapers to Hangover Recovery Energy Shots. From Corporate events to Bachelor parties the Alan and Carlos character has been a huge hit, turning any event into a memorable Hangover party. And as a Minister of the Universal Life Church, Brian also performs non-denominational weddings wherever requested.
Brian is looking forward to an extremely busy 2013. He has decided to take the Alan and Carlos character on the road, making appearances in various countries in Europe. Beginning in January, Brian will be in the world famous Covent Gardens in London posing for photos and filling requests for private parties and product promotions. More cities and dates will be released on his website
