Steve Taylor10 May 2025

Booked for Other Event

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Femi, a talented digital caricaturist, to our recent student BBQ—and he was nothing short of incredible. From the moment he arrived, Femi brought an energy that lit up the event. His warm, approachable nature made students feel instantly comfortable, and his infectious enthusiasm quickly turned his caricature station into the heart of the gathering. Femi’s talent is undeniable—his caricatures were not only fun and creative, but each one perfectly captured the unique personality of every student who sat with him. But what truly set him apart was the way he engaged with everyone. He took the time to chat, joke, and make each person feel seen. Watching him work was as entertaining as receiving the final drawing, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed connecting with people through his art. He made every student feel special, celebrating their features with charm and humour in a way that was always kind and uplifting. By the end of the event, he wasn’t just the caricaturist—we all felt like he was a part of our community. If you’re ever looking for someone to bring heart, fun, and a personal touch to your event, Femi is the one. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Booked for Anniversary

Jonathan was fabulous! He entertained the guests with his drawings. We added the colour option, and that was a good idea, as it changed the overall result and enhanced the exaggerated features. I suggest an extended session if your guest wants to be drawn. The time goes by so quickly, there is only so much time... Jonathan is very amicable and had a good chat while drawing, my party was a success!

Andrea Morrissey2 Nov 2023

Booked for Wedding

Andy was a great addition to our wedding. Every guest was desperate to have their caricature done and it’s fair to say none of them were disappointed. We were really impressed with the whole package and it was so nice to see how many people got their picture done with a constant flow keeping Andy very busy all night. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for this type of entertainment for your special day.

Booked for Birthday party

John was very good after he arrived by bus from Brighton docking in Derby at 6.20pm. It took him nearly an hour by taxi to reach the hotel which should have been a 15/20 min ride, that’s because he was unable understand which address the venue was being held. I told him that when he arrived in Derby to take a taxi to the hotel ! But because he kept changing his destination to the driver it ended up with a twice the taxi fare! Should have been Around £12 ended up a £25 taxi ride. Otherwise his work was very good. If there’s a next time someone nearer to Derby would be better. Peter D Wisdom

Booked for Birthday party

Chris and his assistant were fantastic and really made the event even more special! There was laughter and joint given the comic of the photos. Everyone got to take their pics away and it was all done so professionally. I was running late, yet they surprised me on getting started and keeping the guests entertained! Thank you so much for making my 30th even more special.
