Having been to many Sportsman's Dinners I found it hugely refreshing to hear some new anecdotes and jokes rather than the same old ones being trotted out! Your 'act' was excellent, and the feedback from those who attended has been fantastic. Please accept our gratitude for making our night such a success.
Richard Laidlaw, Social Organizer, Kilmarnock CC
Thank you once again for your contribution to our Sportsman's Dinner, which was immeasurable to us. I have lost count of the number of people who have said how superb your speech was. Also the way you handled the auction was spot-on!

Thank you for making our Burns Supper so memorable last Friday evening. Your "Immortal Memory" was, quite frankly, the best I have ever heard. Once you had caught our attention with your wit – you were excruciatingly funny – we were utterly moved and entranced by your praise of our national poet. The way in which you did it was quite simply remarkable!

What a tour de force! Outstanding! Your contribution was absolutely wonderful and just so right for the occasion! You must have got a great feeling of warmth back from the audience, who enjoyed every minute!

You entertained us brilliantly!

Words fail me! – which clearly is not a phrase which would ever apply to you. What an absolutely brilliant, nay bravura, Toast To The Lassies! I – and all other 900 guests in the Hall – had clearly not heard such a fantastic toast for quite some time. You were simply marvellous. Please be assured that you will be at the top of my list when I need wit, charm, and intelligence – all delivered with the greatest dead-pan expression I have ever looked upon.
Councillor Liz Cameron, The Rt Hon The Lord Provost of Glasgow
Without doubt you were one of the best speakers we have had for a large number of years - a brilliant balance between gentle ribbing of the top table and delightful repartee based on your experiences - and the enthusiastic reaction of the audience certainly reflected that!

Elaine Stewart, President, Greenock Chamber of Commerce
My wife and I were in Prestwick for the last 6 days staying with friends and family, and were invited to the Taj Indian Restaurant to celebrate the launch of the "new taj". We had no idea what the format of the evening was!!?? I can't begin to tell you how fantastic we thought your performance was. I have seen many after dinner speakers but none come close to you. I almost had an asthma attack!!! I only wish I could remember half of what you said. Not only were you very very funny but your delivery was superb. Do you have any CDs or DVDs that I can show my friends? I now live in England so will have to translate most of it! Kind regards and thank you for making my week in wet Prestwick so rememberable.
Adam Green, The Taj in Prestwick
Many thanks for entertaining us so humorously. I have had nothing but fantastic feedback from members of the club. You hit just the right note with the audience, and the delivery of your speech was first class.
Tim Stevenson, Curl Aberdeen
