Ian Carter3 Jun 2024

Booked for Prom

We had a theme night and wanted something a bit different and chose Simon. He was excellent and was able to give us just what we needed and was very professional. Our night was amazing and Simon was a big part of that to which we are very grateful. Big thank you to Poptop and of course Simon for making it a memorable night 🙏🙏

Booked for Christmas party

Philip was brilliant, read the room well and adapted the the multitude of cultures we had within our office. The Limerick he created specific to our business was excellent and I couldn't recommend him more for a work event.

Katherine Inufusa21 May 2022

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.

Carole Reeves-Boulton25 Apr 2019

Booked for Hen party

"Absolutely 5*! I hired Ian for my sister in laws hen party and so glad I did. There were gasps from the audience as he put our friends under hypnosis. Ian put on a fabulous show and even stuck around to answer questions at the end, which there were plenty. Highly recommend Ian Dee for any event. Thanks, Ian!"

Colin Nelson8 Jun 2018

Booked for Corporate Function

"Louis comes highly recommended, never laughed so much in my life. Took a gamble and booked a local comedian and what a decision that was. Louis was so good, we booked him again a few weeks later. He completed a fantastic set ranging from full audience participation, musical comedy and of course some good old funny jokes and stories. I was able to send some information prior to the act relating to some of the audience and Louis managed to incorporate the story’s and pockets of information fantastically into his act. He was briefed on the audience and tailored his act to the audience with precision. If you need a comedian, it’s not a gamble, he was quality and we look forward to seeing you again next year Louis !!!"

Mary Eniolu9 Mar 2018

Booked for Corporate Function

Drew was very helpful and worked with me to get the most out of his act for the night. He was mindful of the audience and everyone really enjoyed his act!

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.
