Renata Michlova6 Dec 2024

Booked for Corporate Function

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 was wonderful. He came to our event on Tuesday to perform for my student at a Student Union event. He was brilliant, fun and a pleasure to have on campus. The students couldn't speak highly enough about his performance. We will be booking again for future events. Thanks Ian :)

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.

After initially turning Louis down for an event only because we were looking for female acts he contacted us in his capacity as an agent and boy are we glad he did. Louis made a site visit not only to view the venue but to find out exactly what we need and he delivered. Loius organised our evening to perfection, guiding us all the way to make sure our first event was a success. Even on the night Louise attended to make sure everything went smoothly which was a god send as the speakers and mike we has purchased were not fit for purpose so in steps Louise with a spare and sets everything up for us. He's well connected and has booked us some high profile acts and we've already commisioned him to set up our next event and can't reccomend him enough. We will of course be booking him to do a stand up eveing of his own with us. Great guy, great service, professional and friendly :-)

Booked for Corporate Function

Amazing - Music Magic & Mirth were absolutely on top of their game - it was a charity event and these guys (1st time in our town) really impressed the audience who loved every second - this won’t be a one off for MM&M - I’m getting them in again this summer hopefully

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
