Philip brought lots of fun to our corporate Christmas function. He is quick on his feet and had our team members tearing up with laughter. He also presented our company awards, which was a nice extra touch to the evening, alongside his comedy act. Overall a great experience, and we were also left with a funny custom poem. Highly recommended.

Ian Tudor3 Jun 2019

We were hosting a charity event which Tom compered and organised the comedians. To start with Tom was great in his communication and was very friendly to deal with. On the night he was great. Very funny and perfect as a compere. The comedians he organised had us rolling with laughter. I would definitely recommend.

MAB (South West) Ltd7 Dec 2018

Excellent service from Comedy 24 and the comedian we had for our office party - Luke Honnoraty - was brilliant. Would certainly recommend.

Luke attended a very small function with just 20 guests and was able to keep us entertained and I thought he did a good job and we have booked him again for another function

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.
