Rory was great!
Blakemore & Sons –
Rory was outstanding from start to finish. He joined us for dinner which our guests loved and his performance was so topical witty and right on the button. Everyone raved about him the next day at our trade show and he just proved a perfect fit for our event.
Thomson Reuters –
Can you pass on my (and everyone at PFI’s) thanks to Rory Bremner please? We all thought he was spot-on – not just with the jokes/impressions but also with the way he controlled the audience in what could easily have been a very boring presentation. Clearly he puts great effort into these things, which is much appreciated, and there was not one negative comment about him. It was nice that he had time for us all too. Nice bloke. Definite contender for the IFR Awards next year.
Confederation of British Industry –
Rory had read the brief and was very well prepared. Audience feedback on Rory was excellent, they thought he was the best speaker we have had at our dinner for some time.

We asked Rory to focus on current political and cultural events. He did exactly that – generating a lot of very positive feedback from those attending the dinner. Highly recommended.
Greenergy Company Celebration –
