I was recommended the website from a co-organiser and did some searching. We then looked on YouTube of video clips of Raul and liked what we saw. The booking was easily made and Raul more than honoured the contract and was always in communication; he even chased me for confirmation whilst I was organising which I appreciated. The show itself was superb, a very funny and talented comedian who we would certainly book again. I know he is appearing in Edinburgh soon and as such I’ve recommended him to friends who are attending the festival there.

David Arnold is a good comedian. We had a family celebration and feel he is more comfortable with an adult audience as he struggled a little with his material due to young children being present.

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.

"I booked Louis for a last minute event. Louis not only responded quickly, but immediately showed true professionalism and likeability. When the night came around, Louis promptly showed up and guided us from start to finish on how to get the best out of our audience. When the show began, Louis was hilarious from start to finish and had our guests in fits of laughter throughout. Would highly recommend and will happily book again. If I could rate 10 starts, I would."

"Louis comes highly recommended, never laughed so much in my life. Took a gamble and booked a local comedian and what a decision that was. Louis was so good, we booked him again a few weeks later. He completed a fantastic set ranging from full audience participation, musical comedy and of course some good old funny jokes and stories. I was able to send some information prior to the act relating to some of the audience and Louis managed to incorporate the story’s and pockets of information fantastically into his act. He was briefed on the audience and tailored his act to the audience with precision. If you need a comedian, it’s not a gamble, he was quality and we look forward to seeing you again next year Louis !!!"

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.
