Julia Dunkley5 Feb 2024

Everything was very quick and efficient to book and organise the event. Simon was very good at communicating and liaising between ourselves before and up to the event. The show was really good and everyone seemed to enjoy it very much.

KEIRNAN BROOK25 Jun 2023

Liam was fantastic. He read the room very well and interacted really well with the audience. Would have no hesitation in booking him again

KEIRNAN BROOK27 Jun 2022

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.

Paula8 May 2021

Dylan is talented, friendly and funny! He agreed to do an online performance for our hen party and even from distance he made all of us laugh. Totally recommended.

Rory Clifford23 May 2019

Drew was excellent from start to finish. Gave a great set and was able to adapt to any last minute changes. Would highly recommend!

Ania Leonard10 Apr 2018

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.
