TESTIMONIAL

”I just wanted to let you know that Ian Hislop was absolutely superb last night. He was extremely funny and came over as very endearing. Many people said we could not top Rory Bremner but after seeing Ian some people thought he was actually better because he was talking about real life events, where Rory has more of a fantasy world! People on Ian’s table said he was an absolutely delightful dinner guest. So all in all he was an extremely important part of a very successful event and I would highly recommend him!”
