Booked for Corporate Function

We booked a comedy night for our work summer party, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Kev was incredibly helpful and informative throughout the entire booking process, right up to the end of the event. He took the time to listen to our requirements and made sure everything was tailored to suit our group. We really enjoyed all three comedy acts, each bringing their own unique style and variety of humour, which kept everyone entertained throughout the evening. There was something for everyone, and the feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kev and the team to anyone looking to organise a memorable comedy event. Thank you for helping make our summer party such a great success!

Booked for Birthday party

Ian did a performance at our 50th Birthday party. What a brilliant performance so funny and Ian made sure everyone was included with a mix of table mind reading and the hypnosis show. Ian is brilliantly funny and a first class entertainer who can manage with a small or large event. Everyone from the 78 year olds to the 2 year old were mesmorised...would highly recommend Ian's show!!!

Booked for Birthday party

Vin did not disappoint. The event I hired him for was an 80th birthday party for my father, and Vin was able to cater for the varied ages in attendance. He had the room in stitches with his witty, observational and personalised performance. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for comedy at their event. Vin was communicative throughout the booking process and perfectly tailored his show from the information I gave to him. He totally made the night special for all.
