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 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 Birthday party

Ian did a performance at our 50th Birthday party. What a brilliant performance so funny and Ian made sure everyone was included with a mix of table mind reading and the hypnosis show. Ian is brilliantly funny and a first class entertainer who can manage with a small or large event. Everyone from the 78 year olds to the 2 year old were mesmorised...would highly recommend Ian's show!!!
