Kept the pace and the energy throughout the evening, good ad-libbing and jokes. A good sport afterwards as lots of people wanted photos with her! A few mis-pronunciations of names, albeit unusual names but there was an opportunity to check this. I thought she was slightly under-prepared which was a little concerning but everything was ok on the evening.
Ian was hilarious - everyone enjoyed his humour and would like to see him again. Best speaker we have not yet.
Totally superb performance by Ian. He was a consummate professional and really made the difference for our event.
Ian was superb, his presentation was pitched at just the right level and was considered by many to be hysterically funny. Ian made a huge contribution to the success of our evening, which was particularly important as this was the first of such functions we have held for this particular charity.
Better than excellent! Friendly, approachable, very funny. It was a pleasure ot have Ian as our entertainment, he really felt part of the team, not just someone who came along for an hour then left. Definitely recommended.
Ian's performance was excellent, he was certainly very entertaining and was well received by all. He was also a real gentleman and a very good company through dinner, keeping my colleagues entertained with his stories.
Read the audience well. Funny without being vulgar.
Ian was excellent. He took the place by storm. In addition, he mingled/dined with the guests every bit as good if not better than the big name celebrities we have had in previous years!
Ian was absolutely awesome! A totally superb performance. He was the consummate professional and really made the difference to our event. 10 out of 10!
Feedback has been excellent. Ian was extremely good company at dinner and his 'After Dinner Speech' was superb - funny and exactly what was required.
Ian has spoken at Seawork before and I have been asked by many people to bring him back. I was quite nervous in case he wasn't up to scratch but he judged the audience perfectly and we have had nothing but positive comments ever since. Really pleased - he was brilliant.
