"Shaun Williamson was outstanding at our Ladies Guest Night, entertaining with his witty repartee and genial nature from the very beginning of the evening. He proved to be an excellent after-dinner speaker entertaining the whole Mess with his well crafted stories, which were personalised to the audience. His closing with a song, totally unaccompanied, from Les Misérable’s – ‘Bring Him Home’ was truly magnificent. In fact I have been told by multiple Mess members and their partners that there were several ‘lumps in throats’ by the end of his performance. Post-dinner he made himself available to everyone, happily posing for photographs and engaging all in conversation. He was without doubt an excellent choice as an after-dinner speaker and I would recommend him to all without reservation." Ladies' Guest Night at RAF Coningsby - April 2012
"I just wanted to thank you for hosting our event. I have had great feedback from so many people saying how much they enjoyed it and saying what a great job you did. A lot of people appreciated that it was a hard gig to get 220 people going that early in the day and pre-alcoholic drink – but you did it". Corporate Communications Director, British Land - December 2011
"We thoroughly enjoyed Shaun's performance. As soon as he arrived during our pre-lunch champagne reception, he was inundated with requests for autographs and photos. He joined the LOYA table for lunch and was excellent company. Shaun started his performance with a powerful song and continuous laughter accompanied the comedy performance that followed. Overall Shaun was a great success, and we are very pleased that he was able to perform for us. He really is a very friendly, yet extremely professional entertainer." Loo of the Year Awards - December 2011
"We had a really great evening last week at our Stars Awards. Please convey our thanks to Shaun – what can I say, we have been receiving such lovely comments this past week. Our staff enjoyed his comedy, singing and compering – such a professional but approachable, friendly and helpful. I just cannot thank him enough – it was perfect." Avante Partnership - February 2011
