"John performed at a staff summer party. He was great to work with – from the planning to the day itself, with great communication throughout. He kept our staff, their guests (including some little ones) very entertained and people were talking about the acts for the rest of the evening."

"John entertained my son and some 80 guests for an evening. His wit, charm and ability to keep the guests entertained through the evening was truly appreciated by everyone. In particular he showed a true skill working with a number of the guests who had special needs backgrounds. Such guests can often be more perceptive than others and it was evident time and time again that they were enthralled by John’s skills and tricks. Thank you John for a lovely and memorable evening."
