Bridget Rainey13 Jul 2025

Booked for Private party

Hiring Pat Draper was the best thing we did to make our family event a success. He and his colleague Jon Pearson delivered a curated set of comedy that everyone was talking about for the next few days. They delivered an amazing evening of laughs and smiles. Working with Pat is a smooth experience - he prepared professionally, stayed within our guidelines (we had a multi-generational audience) yet delivered a great set of comedy that really hit the right tone for our family. Book Pat Draper if you want great comedy professionally delivered.

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 👍👍👍

"Edy was hilarious for the event, the audience engaged really well with the content and left many of us laughing after the set wanting more! Very professional attitude and all around nice personality, which meant it was easy to communicate with him before the event and during about anything we needed from him to help with the event organisation."
