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.
