Bridget Rainey13 Jul 2025

Booked for Private party

Hiring Pat Draper was the best thing we did to make our family event a success. He and his colleague Jon Pearson delivered a curated set of comedy that everyone was talking about for the next few days. They delivered an amazing evening of laughs and smiles. Working with Pat is a smooth experience - he prepared professionally, stayed within our guidelines (we had a multi-generational audience) yet delivered a great set of comedy that really hit the right tone for our family. Book Pat Draper if you want great comedy professionally delivered.

Booked for Birthday party

Good service and Jon was excellent, he interacted with the audience and his show was based on life experience instead of politics or being shouty or sweary. Highly recommended.

Booked for Christmas party

Dom provided a virtual set for our staff Christmas party which was cancelled due to COVID. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and I can't recommend Dom enough.

Booked for Other Event

Ian was wonderful. He came to our event on Tuesday to perform for my student at a Student Union event. He was brilliant, fun and a pleasure to have on campus. The students couldn't speak highly enough about his performance. We will be booking again for future events. Thanks Ian :)

Booked for Birthday party

Wayne definitely lived up to his name and gave a fantastic and memorable performance. He had everyone in stitches and there was plenty of crowd involvement. Simply brilliant.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
