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 👍👍👍

Jon Matthews was everything we'd hoped for on our first comedy night in our country pub. No one knew what to expect and our guests were interested and a little sceptical. Jon was the perfect headliner as he won over the crowd with ease. He is professional, personable, and above all he is bloody funny. Clever, insightful, and sharp as a tack whilst warm and likeable. I'm over the moon and keen to book him again.

Booked for Corporate Function

It's always difficult to know what entertainment to choose for a Corporate event. I wanted something that flowed at the the end of a workshop day and Doc Strange did not disappoint. Funny and entertaining from start to finish, my team really engaged. Looking to book again soon for another up and coming corporate event, with a slightly different audience. Highly recommend.

Booked for Celebration

Great entertainment. Christian tailored the act to fit the clients message and was just the perfect entertainment prior to the evening awards ceremony for the guests. Added to this his unique presenting style for the awards and it made the whole evening a huge hit. Would definitely use again for both corporate or party events as it is a very versatile and unique act. Thank you.

After initially turning Louis down for an event only because we were looking for female acts he contacted us in his capacity as an agent and boy are we glad he did. Louis made a site visit not only to view the venue but to find out exactly what we need and he delivered. Loius organised our evening to perfection, guiding us all the way to make sure our first event was a success. Even on the night Louise attended to make sure everything went smoothly which was a god send as the speakers and mike we has purchased were not fit for purpose so in steps Louise with a spare and sets everything up for us. He's well connected and has booked us some high profile acts and we've already commisioned him to set up our next event and can't reccomend him enough. We will of course be booking him to do a stand up eveing of his own with us. Great guy, great service, professional and friendly :-)

I hired Luke for a work event - the first time I have booked a comedian, and we weren't disappointed. He kept us entertained with his warm and relatable humour and was a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommended!
