John Simonett

While his main objective is to be funny, clean and entertaining, John specialises in the “tailored” presentation and likes to be able to make his remarks relevant to the group in question.

He therefore requires a full consultation before each speech so that he can personalise his delivery to a client’s brief. In fact the more “inside knowledge” he can acquire beforehand about a company’s people, products and philosophy the better.

John also has a phenomenal, trained memory and uses this to telling effect – he does his “homework” for each event and learns numerous names, details and relevant company information, which he skillfully weaves into his speeches.

His attention to detail, professionalism and experience – born out of over 2,500 performances on the corporate after-dinner circuit – provides organisers with the reassurance that what is often the most important aspect of an event is in “safe hands”.

Equally at home with an audience of 500 – or at a board meeting for twelve, John’s charismatic personality and presence, together with his unique combination of humour, memory and audience observation – tailored to a client’s specific brief – provides an original and refreshingly different alternative to the traditional after-dinner speaker.
