Booked for Other Event

We booked Wayne for a Golf Club evening event. His magic act was interactive with many of the audience getting involved in his tricks. His jokes and interactions were hilarious and a number of his tricks left us gobsmacked. Great value compared to a band or tribute act and you wont regret booking him 👍👍👍

Absolutely fantastic show, the whole crowd were in tears with laughter. Many said it was the most they'd laughed in years. Wayne was brilliant, we'll book him again in a heartbeat

Booked for Birthday party

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.

Booked for Birthday party

From the first contact Nick was brilliant. I had hired him for my dad's 70th birthday party so I gave him some details about my dad and he was able to tailor the set to him. Nick also coped really well with all the children running around him with lightsabers throughout the set.

Booked for Birthday party

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.

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.
