Philip brought lots of fun to our corporate Christmas function. He is quick on his feet and had our team members tearing up with laughter. He also presented our company awards, which was a nice extra touch to the evening, alongside his comedy act. Overall a great experience, and we were also left with a funny custom poem. Highly recommended.

A true professional, Dominic was in contact with us all the time leading up to the event, also he was very punctual. It was great to have a comedian who did not have to use foul language to make you laugh, even though ours was an adult only event. Thank you so much Dominic, i am sure we will be seeing you again.

What to do for a 50th zoom birthday in lockdown... that was my challenge. Then I found Dominic. What a brilliant night. DomInic came on and did a set and a game of bingo. Nothing short of blooming brilliant! He delivered a fantastic set whilst interacting with guests and just pulling them in. Everybody is raving about the evening and had just as good a night as the party boy. Dominic, can’t thank you enough - it was a lockdown birthday to remember.

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.

"Absolutely 5*! I hired Ian for my sister in laws hen party and so glad I did. There were gasps from the audience as he put our friends under hypnosis. Ian put on a fabulous show and even stuck around to answer questions at the end, which there were plenty. Highly recommend Ian Dee for any event. Thanks, Ian!"
