Booked for Private party

Hiring Pat Draper was the best thing we did to make our family event a success. He and his colleague Jon Pearson delivered a curated set of comedy that everyone was talking about for the next few days. They delivered an amazing evening of laughs and smiles. Working with Pat is a smooth experience - he prepared professionally, stayed within our guidelines (we had a multi-generational audience) yet delivered a great set of comedy that really hit the right tone for our family. Book Pat Draper if you want great comedy professionally delivered.

Booked for Private party

I recently booked Wayne to provide after dinner entertainment at my Captains last supper golf event. Like most on line bookings you are always a little unsure exactly what the act will be like on the night. However, Wayne was absolutely brilliant. He did a 45 minute stand up magic and comedy set involving several of the members. The tricks were fabulous and in interwove several comical moments. All the feedback from the members has been brilliant and they said; “The entertainment was the best we’ve ever had at this event” “I enjoyed the evening especially the entertainer” “Wow where did you find that chap, he was brilliant” “How on earth did he do that trick” “Had me in stiches all evening” I can’t thank Wayne enough for the fabulous evening. Extremely entertaining and I’d recommend him for your event.

Booked for Other Event

"Edy was hilarious for the event, the audience engaged really well with the content and left many of us laughing after the set wanting more! Very professional attitude and all around nice personality, which meant it was easy to communicate with him before the event and during about anything we needed from him to help with the event organisation."

Booked for Birthday party

Lee was prompt and we were extremely pleased with his performance. He managed to gauge the audience really well and was highly skilled in adapting his material to suit. He got the audience involved and everyone had a great time. He was excellent when he realised a few kids were there and managed to keep everyone pleased. Would highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to book 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.

About supplier

As well as performing in clubs up and down the country I've done shows in Edinburgh and private gigs. My favourite places to perform are those smaller intimate venues. The shows feel way more unique as a result and are much more satisfying for me and the audiences alike.
