Corporate Comedy
Akmal was superb. He had the whole room engaged and in stitches. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Please pass on my thanks on behalf on the gumtree team.
– Andrew, Gumtree
Can you please pass on our thanks to Mick, Myself and Tom were very happy with his performance as was everyone who attended, we appreciate the effort he went to, to mingle with the crowd afterwards.
We would have no hesitation in recommending him or having him back should the opportunity arise.– Sally, Tom Browne Drilling Services
The team event went really well thank you.
Simon Kennedy was fantastic! Professional, a true gentleman and most importantly very funny! Our staff thought he was great. We would definitely use him again.– Sarah, Guild
We had nothing but praise for David’s fantastic work as MC and his professionalism for this event for the client and our team.
Thanks again for all your help and we look forward to working with David again in the future.– Nicolas, Thomson Street
Chris was great and the crowd seemed to love him
– Sally, ALPMA
Friday went off without a hitch. A fantastic time was had by all thank you very much, just a pity about the weather.
Simon was a wonderful host and Sean performed brilliantly, despite the awkward layout. See you same time next year!– Michelle, Metroll
Sean was great thank you so much! Very funny and we will definitely keep you in mind for future events.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year– Alice, OK
All of the feedback that we have received regarding Chris [Radburn] was very positive. He was professional throughout and everyone enjoyed his performance which ensured the success of the night. The crowd was probably slightly older than Chris was accustomed to but he still provided a great show. We would be happy to have Chris back again.
– Anthony, Goulburn Workers Sport and Recreation Club
It was my mission to send a thank you to you & Sean but you got in first 😉
We loved his performance!
Only wish we had no children around & more time.
He was very easy to get along with & fitted in with our group.
We had a great night.
Thank you .– Kathy, A&I
Vince was as always the professional. He touched everyone somehow!
We all laughed and enjoyed his performance
Great job and happy to see him again and again and again…– Leisa, Pengana Capital
From what I hear Jason was fantastic!
Quite rude, which is what we requested and went down a treat in this scenario.
I actually had one of the guys in here telling me about it and we were both in hysterics, I only wish I could have been here to enjoy myself.
Thanks for being such a pleasure to work with Mark and would definitely recommend your company to anyone.– Dynamic Property Services
Once again thank you.
To be honest I was a bit nervous… RSM Bird Cameron had never done anything like this before and I wasn’t sure how it was going to be received. How wrong I was! David Smiedt was brilliant – he took the time to meet with us prior, to walk through his performance, and on the day he nailed it.
David had a great blend of original gags and was able to personalise his performance, providing some hilarious insights about our senior people and our industry. This worked perfectly and was exactly what we were looking for.
David was extremely professional and polished, I would highly recommend him for any corporate event, especially if you wanted to have a bit of a laugh at yourself.”– Brian, RSM Bird Cameron
Thanks for the follow up, our night was a success this was our 54th retirement Christmas party where the workers invite back all of the retired people from our department for a meal rinks a show and to catch up with old mates. We usually have around 100 members and retirees at the party.
The comedian that we had this year as you know was Chris Radburn, we as a group found Chris to be very funny, he interacted well with the audience and put on a great performance. Well done Chris.– Frank, BlueScope Steel
Just wanted to say, that Chris Wainhouse was the best pick for our Members Christmas party. He made everybody hysterically laugh, and got them all involved in the jokes. It bought something different to party and started the night off with a bang.
– Carla, Castle Hill Tavern
Dave O’Neil did a fantastic job! From start to finish he was brilliant. We loved the way he was able to work with audience so well. We definitely look at getting him again for future events.
Every single person who I have spoken to has provided me with really good feedback on him.
Thank you for recommending him and sending him on such short notice.– Jennifer, ThyssenKrupp
Chris Radburn was hilarious!! I got plenty of feedback from staff after the event, everyone thought he was great! He got everyone laughing and all his jokes were relevant for our audience.
He was great a pushing the boundaries without taking it too far. Definitely a highlight of the party.
Thanks again, it was definitely worth it.– Estelle, Beiersdorf
The event was great and so was Simon’s performance. He was received extremely well especially the international accents he did.
– Gary, Delta Laboratories Pty Ltd
What can I say, he was absolutely brilliant. He had the audience totally captivated and laughing from start to finish. He was amazing speaking about his experiences as a father and as a committee member were so funny.
I spoke to a number of people after the event and they all said he was fantastic.
Can you please pass these comments on to Dave [O’Neil] and I would certainly recommend Dave to anyone who was looking for a speaker or entertainer.
Thank you so much heading me in Dave’s direction.– Mary, City of Casey
Rodney Marks,
I’m still in disbelief at how many of our clients truly believed you were a psychiatrist working for Rubik – even after Wayne thanked you using your real name. Amazing…
It was lots of fun so thank you again!– Alex, Rubik
Tommy [Dean] was a hit and provided relevant and engaging content.
– Alison, Fairfax Media
Thanks for the follow up, yes the event went well and I think everyone enjoyed Chris on the day. It all seemed to go quite smoothly.
Thanks for your help– Tristan, Warringah Cricket Club
Ben was a great success. As per usual we all had a good laugh. He kept the swearing to a minimum as per our request, which I know would have been hard to do.
Thanks again for a great night
I’m sure we will be in contact for next year’s event– Genele, Sada
Marty’s performance was fantastic!! He had us all in stitches. We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a stand-up comedian and I’m sure we’ll be using him again for our future functions.
– Brooke, RPM Real Estate Group
Jason was excellent and really superb.
Thanks for arranging this mate.
Keep in touch.– Errol, Diamond
The Beersheba Ball was a great success and everybody commented on how good the entertainment was in particular the comedian. Jason arrived early and was well presented for the occasion. He started about 2100 hrs and finished about 2140 hrs. He was very funny and engaged with the crowd enthusiastically. We were able to provide him a meal (one of the spares) and he donated a DVD to the raffle and another to the Alex Wilson Club. If you could pass on our thanks to him again that would be greatly appreciated.
We run a Ball at about the same time each year (end of Oct) and the entertainment type varies each time. Due to the success of this year we would certainly consider using Left of Centertainment services again next year if the committee decides to run with a comedian again (or Band/ DJ/ The comedy Trivia also looks good).– Eli, Department Of Defence
We recently had Simon Kennedy Emcee our Awards Gala Dinner. Not only did he have the whole room laughing, Simon tied the whole evening together. He was able to engage the audience and really bring everyone together. Simon’s transition from comedian to emcee was seamless. I would also like to thank Simon for going above and beyond his call of duty by liaising with F&B when I was running late due to a delay with the printer. I was very impressed with his professionalism, it is obvious he has years and years of experience. I received a lot of positive feedback from delegates the following day, it really couldn’t have gone any better. We will definitely be using Simon Kennedy again, thank you!
– Ashleigh, K.J Ross & Associates
Chris Radburn was fantastic. He held the crowd and put on a performance that had the audience laughing from start to finish. He arrived early and did the performance to just the perfect length of time. I will recommend him to all. The amount of customers that referred how good he was, was huge.
– Paul, K&R Plumbing Supplies Toowoomba
Gary was amazing, perfect fit for the event, we will be definitely using Gary again.
– Simon, The Projects
Event was great, Simon was very professional and a good fit with the crowd
– Amorita, UD Trucks
I know everyone loved [Dave O’Neil] thankyou… I will definitely need someone next year for the same event!
– Thersea, BP
The feedback was that he was excellent.
– Dane, Godfrey Pembroke
[Chris Radburn] was great. Have had lots of good feedback. Thanks for everything.
– Chris, New Brighton Golf Club
Having previously seen Ben perform at a professional networking event, I was really keen for Ben to perform at the Fringe-themed Young Professionals Event hosted by Fox Tucker Lawyers in March 2013.
Ben is everything you wish for in a comedian – subtle quick-wit, inclusive audience interaction and guaranteed entertainment.
With an intelligent sense of humour, warm professionalism and a charming personality to boot, Ben was a hit – thankyou!– Fox Tucker Lawyers
The event was a great success all round with Jason proving to be a perfect match as the end of night entertainment.
We will certainly be in touch again for future events.– Kieran, Auburn D.C.C
The dinner was a great success – we managed to raise over $67,000, which is a fantastic effort and great to know the money raised will be going towards such an important cause.
A huge thanks to Tommy Dean for entertaining the crowd. He was hilarious and gauged the audience so well. The feedback was excellent from everyone who attended, so please pass on our thanks to him.– Juliet, Australian Museum
Just letting you know that Simon did an outstanding job and everyone was very impressed with his comedy and MC duties. He held the crowd very well and was funny but not over the top which was great.
– Sarah, Elders
All good thanks Mark
Brett was good and on time. Will use you guys again.– Darrin, Tenderlink
FANTASTIC!
THANK YOU– Swazy, Media Form
Yes we had a great time thank you.
I did thank Mick on the night but please send him my appreciation again.– Dr R Smith
Oliver was excellent! Really enthusiastic and entertaining.
We had to cut his section short due to timing issues, but he was wonderful while he was on stage. Thank you for the recommendation.– Theresa, Department of Culture and the Arts
I was the host of the event on Saturday and Nick was fantastic!
He certainly engaged the audience and had everyone laughing!
Would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a comedian!
Thanks for contributing to a terrific day!– Anthony, The Basin Cricket Club
I’ve finally got around to putting together the final figures and information for the Refugee Ball! So, on behalf STARTTS I would like to thank you for attending – it was a pleasure to have you with us on the night. The Ball was a great success this year; once again our numbers grew beyond previous years to reach 340 guests, and we were honoured to have such high-quality speakers and entertainment supporting the event, including yourself of course! We also raised $22,000 on the night, more than double last year, which will be a huge boost to the great work of the Capoeira Angola program. I would particularly like to thank you for how well you were able to keep the audience happy and engaged throughout the night, to deal sensitively with serious material and for so brilliantly running the various raffles and auctions which are so important to our fundraising – I’m sure that our extra money this year is due in no small part to your skills as MC!
– Richard, STARTTS
Thanks Mark, Simon did an awesome job, will definatly use again when we launch BMW 4 series I reckon. Staff loved it, still talking about it!
– Tim, Tony Leahey Motor Group
Yes I have spoken to the people that attend the golf day and they all enjoyed Sean, they said he was great.
I’m glad as I picked him.
Thanks again– Michelle, Allcott Hire
He was great we were very happy with his performance wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and I had a call from a few of the guests saying that they thought he was really good.
So thanks heaps.– Lynne, NHP
Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at our function on Saturday night; your contribution was most certainly appreciated by all. You provided us with many laughs and many of which were the talk around our coffee machine this morning.
The service on the night created a few hiccups which put us behind time, the wedding next door was definitely a distraction, but these things happen and we just have to work with it, and you did that!
It was lovely getting to know you Ben; Chris and I will definitely be at your Fringe Show, so will see you then. Good luck with all your ventures for this year. We wish you great success and I’m sure we’ll hear all about Ben Darsow in the future.– Louise, Hyundai
Hi Mark, He was great very professional everyone loved him, we had great feed back from our guests.
– Gay, Yamaha
Hi Mark I just wanted to thank you for your recommendation on Simon Kennedy at our event last Saturday. He was great and our guests thoroughly enjoyed. Kind Regards.
– Kristine, Fleet Partners
Thank you so much for being part of our Launch of World Hepatitis Day 2012 at Martin Place on the 27th July 2012. You did a great job MCing the event and bringing it all together. The day was a huge success. We really appreciated your professional attitude. Once again thank you, it was great to work with you. Kind Regards
– Wendy, Hepatitis Australia
Ben was great, he was more than happy to do anything we asked of him on the night. Ben had the audience in tears or laughter and to be honest they wanted to see more. The event was a huge success, please pass on our many thanks to Ben for the night. PS thankyou!
– Sam, Nangiloc Football Club
Steady was great. Had everyone in stitches.
– Mark, South East Conveyors & Engineering
Thank you for touching base with me. The function was a great success! Simon was fantastic… He really helped to keep things running smoothly was funny and even helped out with a small AV issue we had with the speakers on the night. All of the guests and the company directors really enjoyed having him along. And he helped keep my ”event mode” stress-head self calm! 🙂 I will definitely recommend Simon in the future.
– Jennifer, Main Brace
Our launch was a great success and Simon was an absolute hit. He had them all in stitches from start to finish. Thanks so much for your recommendation of Simon. We do about four to five launches a year with different clients so next time we need a comedian I’ll give you a call thanks.
– Darren, AH Beard
On behalf of the Bank of Cyprus Australia Foundation we would like to thank you for being the Master of Ceremonies at our Charity Dinner. You were extremely entertaining, crowd engaging and made the evening flow very smoothly. Most importantly, you maintained a professional approach, which is why we would highly recommend you for any corporate event, we will definitely be using you again.
– Betty, Bank of Cyprus
Good afternoon Mark, thank you for the follow up, the event went well, Simon’s presentation was very good and it was as I expected. Thank you for your work on this.
– Juan, Terumo Australia
I can highly recommend Simon as a master of ceremonies. Simon reads the moment smoothly, anchors the event, and combines just the right elements to make the occasion memorable.
– Trudy, Kwik Kopy Australia
Simon Kennedy is funny, very funny in fact. The man can certainly think on his feet.
– Kellie, Meap Careers
I couldn’t believe how skilfully he read the audience at our event and how he cleverly ad libbed his way during the presentations. He took control and the evening ran smoothly under his steerage. I was watching the audience throughout as it’s always daunting when booking someone for the first time. They can make or break an event and it’s a reflection on you. There was no need for worry. They couldn’t have been more positive. Everyone was in stitches including me.. no need for sit-ups the next day! I would definitely use Simon again without a doubt as an MC or comedian. I trust him and he is a consummate professional
– Samantha, Ramsay Health Care
Thank you so much, yes the event was wonderful. We raised the most we have in this year than any of the years before so that is great for ICU. Ben was amazing; he was perfect for this event with his material that was aimed at sport and men. It was hilarious and I had the pleasure of sitting at Ben’s table and he is a really nice guy! We have never had a comedian before at the golf day so I think that made it a lot less corporate and a lot more fun for our audience. Everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously, we have such great supporters and sponsors and to show them a good time as well with Ben coming along was just incredible. I’d like to thank Ben and yourselves for your amazing work and we hope to keep in contact for next year’s event.
– Lisa, Royal Adelaide Hospital
David was the MC & entertainment for our Clinique / GQ men of influence event. He understood the brief perfectly and delivered a routine that was spot on for the audience. He also created a very welcome vibe in the room & engaged with all guests. His act was the perfect mix of cheeky, relevant and irreverent! I could not fault his work.
– Alexis, Clinique
David was brilliant, everyone commented on how good the MC was. Please thank him as we didn’t get a chance at the end of the night. The wedding was beautiful, it was over 40 degrees and the ceremony was outside but all went extremely well and no one fainted! Once again thank you for recommending him, we couldn’t have had anyone better. Everyone enjoyed themselves and haven’t stopped talking about how good the day was.
Thank you– Janice
The evening was a big success! Our participation numbers were down slightly, however this didn’t effect the mood and effectiveness of the night.
Dave O’Neil was fantastic, very interactive with the crowd. His jokes on men’s health were very appropriate.
A huge thanks to you and your team for organising Dave’s contribution.– Kelly, McKinlay Shire Council
Ben was fantastic! The audience loved him and they’re a hard group to please. He’s was so easy to work with and all round great guy. Would definitely recommend him for other events.Thanks for organising him and for the follow up. Was a great night!
– Natalie, Adelaide Crows
Thanks David for demystifying the art of seeing the humour in the reality of our daily lives. It has certainly made a great difference in helping the team think outside the square and improve our ability to communicate effectively.
– Darren, Optus
David Smiedt is your one stop shop for a professional charismatic and engaging emcee and of course humorous. David is both a comedian and an emcee and can turn up the comedy as far as you let him take it! I look forward to the next event with David and Benefit Cosmetics where laughter is the best cosmetics….so grin and wear it.
– Justin, Benefit Cosmetics
Chris Wainhouse was fantastic, Very good reviews from everyone.

Yes everyone had a fabulous night. I had nothing but great feedback about how good Sean’s performance was.
Please pass our thanks onto Sean for a great evening.– Jasmine, Gwawley Bay Football Club
Everything went well, and David was great, he didn’t have a lot of time for jokes as the speech’s went on for longer than anticipated.
Thank you for recommending him.– Dina, CEPU
