Booked for Corporate Function

We hired Dominic for a work event, although I was unable to attend the feedback from those that did was brilliant. Soldiers can be unforgiving but he was exceptionally entertaining and hilarious. Not one person I asked about the experience had a bad word to say but all did agree he was first class. Thank you for what I was told was a great evening. Highly recommend.

From booking through to the event itself Dylan was amazing - very organised and professional and ensuring that he understood the audience to make sure he could do his best show! The night itself was great and we had a brilliant time so so funny ! I would thoroughly recommend his show as it it tailored to individual events and audiences 👍🤗

Booked for Wedding

Louis was perfect at our wedding reception. Turned up on time, was really nice to talk to and his performance was right for us. Me and my wife loved everything he said, and he dealt well with our crowd, picking up well on the vibe and reacting suitably and professionally. Good work Louis!
