Booked for Birthday party

Fantastic performance from Joe Zalias and all three comedians that he brought along. Joe was very easy to deal with and quickly responded to all my enquiries. We had a fantastic night that kept everybody laughing.

Booked for Corporate Function

Philip arrived when he said he would and delivered the best bit of comedy he could considering his audience where too busy talking or still snaffling on the buffet! He had a tough gig but like any pro, the show must go on. I would have no hesitation in recommending Philip, I think our failing was putting him on too early.

Booked for Corporate Function

We were hosting a charity event which Tom compered and organised the comedians. To start with Tom was great in his communication and was very friendly to deal with. On the night he was great. Very funny and perfect as a compere. The comedians he organised had us rolling with laughter. I would definitely recommend.

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
