What people are saying...

The host Lee Peart was the perfect compere – warm, funny, with a sharp eye for detail. He mingled and toyed with the audience enjoying himself and singing along himself. He is perfect for the job. All in all we had a fabulous afternoon. Fed, watered and happy, we sang, danced, and had a few giggles.

We didn’t take much encouragement to get up and dance, it was a great party atmosphere.

The team working with us on Saturday were brilliant – special thanks to Steve, our engineer, who was fantastic.

You’ve got an excellent team working there and the event went very well. Please pass along our thanks to everyone working last night.

Everyone was so kind and supportive to me. I had really a fabulous time performing at Komedia.

Thank you all for an amazing show last night. We had a blast performing and working with you all. Thanks also to Taylor and Dylan and wow we love your security guards. 

My birthday at the Komedia was FANTASTIC. Your staff are all incredible and super friendly. Special shout out to Brogan who sorted out the band and DJs and was just so lovely. 10/10 all round.

Just want to say a big thank you to Komedia and the staff, especially the security who were very professional. Everyone at the venue made my job easy and I was so relaxed before the show.

Many thanks for ‘Let The Sun Shine In’ – we had a great night, thank you to the staff who were excellent!

It was such a fantastic night! All the staff involved were so lovely and friendly, they made us feel at ease and were on hand for anything we needed.

Thanks to the team for supporting us with our event yesterday. Steven and Taylor were great and made everything easy and enjoyable. We had a good crowd and the whole thing was a real success from our point of view.

I wanted to say a massive thank you for hosting my son and I in the Studio. I was so impressed by the kindness, efficiency, and professionalism of all the team at Komedia. Everything was perfect – the sound, the room, and all of the staff.
