Everyone I spoke to after the party enjoyed Nicks repertoire. He didn't upset anyone with his jokes, bearing in mind several different factions of friends and family. He contributed to a great night.

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.
