“Jimmy spoke to me at length before the evening to gain an understanding of his target audience and tailored his act to suit the audience. He was largely relevant in his content and kept it at a funny yet not to blue level. Proportionate to the surroundings really.”

Mark Leese – Director at Leese & Nagle

 

“He was the perfect balance to what we needed for our event, he was just perfect for our 205 employees. It was hard for him to judge how risqué he could be but he read the room well and entertained us all for his 20/25 mins – which again was spot on. ”
