Garry’s vast experience is captured perfectly in this review after a performance in Edinburgh. “Garry is a first class and genuinely funny after dinner speaker. He is sharp and witty in a modern way, without ever giving offence. His wholesome, self-deprecating humour appeals equally to men and women in the party, something not always mastered by his peers. He is a man who clearly takes the trouble to understand his audience and prepare his material accordingly. At the same time he is alert and fleet of foot deftly picking up and responding to the audience’s reaction. He entertained and charmed at the Health Shield AGM, not the easiest thing to do.”

Garry will always liaise with clients ahead of functions making sure nothing is left to chance. His mixture of anecdotes proves time and time again to be a hit with his audiences as these testimonials illustrate.
