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 Prom

We had a theme night and wanted something a bit different and chose Simon. He was excellent and was able to give us just what we needed and was very professional. Our night was amazing and Simon was a big part of that to which we are very grateful. Big thank you to Poptop and of course Simon for making it a memorable night 🙏🙏

Booked for Birthday party

Wayne definitely lived up to his name and gave a fantastic and memorable performance. He had everyone in stitches and there was plenty of crowd involvement. Simply brilliant.

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.
