Booked for Birthday party

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.

Booked for Birthday party

Wayne was hugely professional before the event and really flexible with times and his material. On the night Wayne was excellent and everyone said how entertaining he was. His act was really fun and he involved guests of all ages. His act was tailored to me and was really funny. Can’t thank Wayne enough, he was excellent 👍

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.

Booked for Christmas party

Booked for Corporate Function

"It was a great evening both performances turned up on time and were welcomed by our staff. The first act Lorna Shaw only related to a few attendees with in the room due to the act she performed, however the piece she left until the end which was a song caught the attention of the audience and everyone has been talking about it since. The second act Tony Coward smashed it with his performance he had every one howling with laughter with his one liners. Thank you so much for sorting this out for me Kind Regards Balvinder Rana"
