Booked for Birthday party

Femi is fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Femi chatted with the guests and made them feel at ease and they all loved the fact they were taking home hand draw pictures instead of phones full of photos! The birthday boy was equally impressed and loved having Femi there. Super chap and great caricatures.

Booked for Corporate Function

Sam is such a gentleman, really engaged with all our guests and constantly had a queue at his table! Such a welcoming guy that made everyone feel relaxed. I've been inundated with compliments for booking Sam as the entertainment at our event, he was much loved by everyone who attended. Would highly recommend for a variety of functions and will be booking Sam again in the future.

Booked for Wedding

Dave was absolutely brilliant at our wedding in June, we are so pleased we used Drop Dead Caracatures. We wanted something different and which was fun and our guests had something to take home. Dave was busy for the whole 3 hours he was there and I think he was there actually longer than the 3 hours. He is a superb artist, we can't believe the likeness! We highly recommend if you want something different and fun Dave is worth every penny, and he is very reasonable compared to others that we looked at. 5 stars all the way! Thank you so much Dave.

Booked for Birthday party

"Michael was unable to cover my event and alerted me on Friday, 9th of November in the evening and the event was for Saturday 10th! Before I could read the rest of his message, my heart was already pounding! I then read the rest of his message which I honestly couldn’t fault. Michael explained that his event on Saturday, having only just realised when he returned from his travel would have meant he wouldn’t be able to get to my event on time. He then provided an excellent customer service which is why I have given a 5 rating by getting me a caricaturist, his friend to cover the event and also gave me a discount due to the inconvenience and to this I say a massive thank you to Michael. He arranged for someone (Francesco) to cover the event, passed on all details and assured me the person will make contact. I couldn’t fault that and and all I could pray for was for his replacement to deliver on the night and he did. Francesco contacted me on the morning of the event, asked a few questions about the evening to get a feel for the party and how I wanted him to work and also paid attention to the dress code of it being a Black Tie Event and was dressed for the occasion. I couldn’t fault Francesco as he engaged the guest throughout the evening from when he arrived. He was polite, professional, engaging, diligent and did a fantastic job. He engaged throughout and offered a different dimension and fun to the evening. Thank you very much to Michael and Francesco as we all had a great time and the guest have not stopped talking about Francesco and the way he interacted with everyone even when they were having their meals and how flexible he was. He gave over a 100% service and it was truly a wonderful evening and for this we are truly grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Francesco to events as well as Michael for the professionalism displayed in making the event truly awesome, so thank you both. Best wishes, Anu"
