Booked for Prom

We had a theme night and wanted something a bit different and chose Simon. He was excellent and was able to give us just what we needed and was very professional. Our night was amazing and Simon was a big part of that to which we are very grateful. Big thank you to Poptop and of course Simon for making it a memorable night 🙏🙏

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 Birthday party

Edy was super. He stepped in last minute to do a 20 minute stint on zoom for my husbands 40th birthday as his party had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19. He was great and kept us entertained. Would highly recommend.

Booked for Other Event

I hired Luke for a work event - the first time I have booked a comedian, and we weren't disappointed. He kept us entertained with his warm and relatable humour and was a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommended!

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.
