TESTIMONIALS

Mike performs for a number of professional clients, from comedy clubs to corporate bookers, through to TV and film agents.
Fresh, entertaining and engaging….. He unified a very broad range of clients into an audience with hilarious material and improvisation. I have already booked him for next year’s annual dinner

IAN DORMER

Institute Of Directors
Brilliant. Mike judged his delivery and material exactly right for the audience at this very important presentation. They all thoroughly enjoyed the show

CHRIS JOWSEY

M.D Newcastle Federation Breweries
It’s pretty much impossible for a comedian to please all 150 guests at a corporate event, especially when the organiser tells him not to swear or use any blue jokes! Nonetheless, Mike Milligan did a great job of this; I choked on my food several times as I laughed so much. He’s a very funny man and highly recommended

TONY ALLESON

Finance Director & company secretary, Hills Electrical & Mechanical Group
Brilliant… this has been one of the best compere performances I’ve seen at this club since it opened four years ago and we have had most of the U.K circuit out here

ADRIAN HOUGHTON

Manager of 1 Nite Stand Club, Singapore
He had a marquee of 300 people eating out of his hand and p*ssing themselves laughing. We’d booked him for next years do before he left the venue

GARY BUTLER

Shotley Bridge Cricket Club
Mike was excellent. He thoroughly entertained a mixed audience at our black tie AGM event for nearly an hour. The feedback from the guests was extremely positive

Richard Hinton

Chairman Welsh Faculty of Building
Absolutely brilliant evening with Mike. From the minute he started, Mike had the room in stitches and some crying with laughter. You are guaranteed a night to remember... even if you are one of the guests he targets!

Richmond (Yorks) Golf Club
Mike, thanks for doing a great job on Saturday night, must be tough coming on to a sober audience first up and getting the evening going but you did a fantastic job and Ive had great feedback from the people who were there.
