Alistair did a great job of presenting our event. With a fair amount of free booze going around, it was quite a dynamic room. His confidence and projection was very important in getting the information across.

Thank you for last night’s gig. I’m delighted we asked you to do it and grateful you took on the challenge. Sorry conditions weren’t perfect but thanks for overcoming various obstacles, I thought you handled it fantastically well. We had a great response and the roars of laughter and applause spoke for themselves.
Simon Clark, Forest
We recently hired Alistair to MC an important corporate awards evening for an audience of 200. Alistair was extremely impressive with some great tailored material, while creeping up to, but not overstepping the line for such an event. Many of the guests provided very positive feedback on Alistair and we definitely consider it money well spent. Thoroughly professional and a pleasure to work with.
Duncan Meadows, AXA Insurance
You just held everything together and drove it through and made people laugh and laugh.
Jenny Seagrove, Mane Chance
Alistair absolutely smashed the awards and I’ve had nothing but positive feedback about his performance.
Tom Allen, Incisive Media
Eloquent slick and dynamic, his hour positively races by in a blur of opinions, flippancy and indignity.
