Mason Contractors LtdWe highly recommend Andre King, he has the ability to genuinely improve any event you may be planning.
We have all heard “brilliantly funny” and that he is, even more though, Andre is also incredibly clever. He captivated and amused a large group of diverse personalities, exceeding all expectations.
It is challenging to get a majority of our staff to agree at the best of times and yet Andre easily held the audience with his sheer talent and kept everyone interested, a truly humorous entertainer.
The consensus is clear, simply an “excellent night, very funny”, thank you Andre.
Both personally and professionally a pleasure to deal with.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
