Testimonials:
Dana Fitch, Miss Grand Australia Director- "James was integral to the success of our Miss Grand Australia finale at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth. It was a busy night with auctions, entertainment, guest interviews and the pageant itself and he made sure it all ran smoothly. I couldn't recommend high more highly!"

Olga Ovsyannikova, Red Carpet Ball Entertainment - "A special thank you to James for doing such an amazing MC'ing job at Miss Russia Australia and Miss National to a crowd of over 300. James is very professional and easy to communicate with - his pronunciation of Russian contestants was perfect. If you have an important event make sure to book James!"

Anthony Martin, Share Story - "James acted as a live host and also provided commentary for our sold out Robowars event at Sydney's Vivid Festival. He was great to work with, sharp and engaging he was an integral part in delivering a successful product to attendees. We will be working with James in the future." 

Carl Sciberras, Form Dance Company - "James has hosted our Sharp + Short (formerly Fast + Fresh) dance competition for several years now and has been a pleasure to work with. He brings a unique wit and style to his hosting that helps to keep energy levels high and the crowd engaged."

Lina Walker, Dance Factor by Jessica Walker Showcase - "We recently were lucky enough to have James host our end of year Dance Concert. He did an amazing job and had the crowd entertained all evening. I would recommend him in this area in an instant. We have already booked him for next year. Thank you James." 

Nicole Farrant, BYSA - "James is the ultimate host for a live event. We have used since 2014 across four Burbs festivals and the large scale Winterbeatz which had a crowd in excess of 500 at Westfields Blacktown. He has a commanding presence, a 'radio-voice' that resonates with the audience and not only adapts to last minute changes but owns them and makes things run far smoother than they should. We have already booked him for 2019!"
