Booked for Birthday party

Book this man! We had Dylan do his performance at my husbands 60th party last night and he was really fantastic. His show is for all ages, it’s hilarious and all of our 90 guests last night loved the show. He was absolutely worth every penny and he was a star. I haven’t stopped getting messages today from all our guests saying how funny and brilliant Dylan’s show was. Dylan kept in contact with me throughout the booking process, he was on time, very polite and friendly and he stayed after the show to check on how everyone that he hypnotised was. Book him for your party you will not be disappointed!

Booked for Christmas party

Wayne was great! Brilliant show, perfect level of audience participation (and really chose the best people to do this with!) I would really recommend booking him

Booked for Private party

I recently booked Wayne to provide after dinner entertainment at my Captains last supper golf event. Like most on line bookings you are always a little unsure exactly what the act will be like on the night. However, Wayne was absolutely brilliant. He did a 45 minute stand up magic and comedy set involving several of the members. The tricks were fabulous and in interwove several comical moments. All the feedback from the members has been brilliant and they said; “The entertainment was the best we’ve ever had at this event” “I enjoyed the evening especially the entertainer” “Wow where did you find that chap, he was brilliant” “How on earth did he do that trick” “Had me in stiches all evening” I can’t thank Wayne enough for the fabulous evening. Extremely entertaining and I’d recommend him for your event.

Booked for Corporate Function

I booked Philip for an evening presentation dinner and I could not recommend him enough. Philip was nice and early, really relaxed which in turn made me relaxed which was great. Philip was very flexible with a last minute change in the event schedule and his performance was tremendous, really good interaction with the crowd. If I ever need a comedian for any event Philip would be my first choice.

Booked for Other Event

Carl was fantastic, a very different environment to what he was used to but managed it very well. He amazed everyone with his magic, leaving us all wondering how. He's very professional and I would highly recommend him for any occasion. Thankyou.

Booked for Corporate Function

Luke attended a very small function with just 20 guests and was able to keep us entertained and I thought he did a good job and we have booked him again for another function

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

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