Vince Fontaine: Man, late 30s – late 40s. Slick-talking disc jockey. Good-looking, oily and a bit of a slimeball. Enjoys getting to meet high school girls a little too much. Rock ‘n’ roll baritone; sings “Hand Jive.” Must be an experienced comic with a fun, engaging personality. Improv skills a plus, as he will “warm up” the audience in a mostly improvised pre-show.
