Why book an after-dinner show

The part of the night people talk about

  • Your guests are the act

    Colleagues come up from their tables, microphone in hand, while the rest of the room watches each reveal land.

  • One show, any room size

    The show suits a small, intimate audience and a full ballroom.

  • A finale people talk about

    Bookers say guests were still talking about it weeks later.

Guests came up to read predictions, and a prediction board was revealed in front of the whole room. Aoife Ryan called his performance “truly the highlight of the night”.
