Lucky for us Sam, is not just a comedian, he's a 'Master of Atmosphere' and a 'Mood Changer'. Without a doubt it was Sam's words, wit and charm that relaxed the crowd, lifted the atmosphere so that every single person in the room was in stitches of laughter. I can safely say that after Sam performed we noticed a huge spike in the level of raffle ticket sales and silent auction bidding on the evening. I am certain that Sam's entertainment set the mood for the crowd on the night that resulted in us raising $20,000 for this wonderful cause. Weeks after the event I still have clients and guests commenting on how great 'that Sam comedian was' and 'Does he do corporate gigs? I'd like him to do ours'. One guest on the evening (who spent a lot of money on a few silent auction prizes) said 'Sam was great, he addressed everyone in the room, no-one felt left out. He has to be the funniest comedian I have ever seen'. I have no hesitation in recommending Sam McCool to anyone wanting to leave a lasting and memorable impression on their guests. We'll be hiring Sam McCool again next year for our event, without a doubt.
Sam was really funny and kept things lively and entertaining.
With a long day full of information it was helpful to have the moderator in room 1 pump some energy into the group.
MC was entertaining and captured attention of the audience. Well done to him.
Sam was fantastic! Very well prepared and professional. He cross checked the material prior to delivering it with me which demonstrated he was concerned on meeting our expectations. What I witnessed was how well Sam brought to life the material we had reviewed priorvery impressive that he was able to read the audience and rapidly adapt to extract maximum response. We had a large number of high quality performers to choose from and we were able to match the speaker availability with our budget. Both the Leadership Team and all the associates participating in the meeting very much enjoyed the performance of Sam McCool. He read the audience well, and was able to lighten the mood and enjoyment level of the Awards presentation.
Our experience in dealing with Sam was positive throughout. Not only was he happy to meet with us beforehand to discuss in length exactly what we were looking for performance-wise, but he also gave us a variety of options and talked about the different things he had done for other events and if that would work with our audience. Sam is a very down-to-earth guy who connects well with people. He was very happy to socialise with our guests both before and after the dinner, and I know our clients appreciated the opportunity to come up and chat with him. If you are looking for a comedian who can provide hilarious, light-hearted and tailored banter, delivered in a variety of quality global accents, then I would definitely recommend Sam McCool.
