Wayne was very professional in all our communications and managed to arrive well on time in slight of a 6 and half hour drive up to the North East. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his performance for my Captain’s Dinner and would definitely recommend him.

Booked for Christmas party

Absolutely fantastic, simon was amazing from start to finish. We had a ticket only variety show and simon was brilliant, couldn't of asked for more, I'm sure he made a couple of Christmas presents with the audience members he brought on stage, brilliant.

From the very first contact we were looked after. Time was taken to understand our audience and the acts were matched to our venue. It was an outstanding show and customer feedback was immense. It was that successful that we now run this every month. Tickets sell out within days and we usually have a waiting list. I’ll speak to Adam and you will get a 5 star service, i have and will continue to reccomend this company, and those other venues who I referred them to also have the same opinion as me, COMPLETELY SATISFIED, WOULD DEFINITELY RECCOMEND AND HAS STRENTHENED MY BUSINESS TEN-FOLD THANKYOU SO MUCH X

"Chris, got the tone spot on for the night. All of the guys in attendance enjoyed it. I loved the way he related to a few of the guys. That works really well with our lot. Really nice guy too. All in all, very successful. :-)"

Booked for Private party

"Super happy with Wayne. :-) The venue we provided was a farmers field with a fire pit (so less than ideal) and he just got on with his set and did what I was hoping he would which was make the 200 strong crowd laugh :-) :-) Another point worth noting for event organisers is that Wayne stayed true to the quote on his profile page unlike EVERYONE else who quoted up to 3 times the price in some cases. Thanks Wayne, you did good and added a nice touch to our event. Simon W."
