Chris MC’d and performed a stand-up routine for our work Christmas party. He really made the night! His stand-up routine was hilarious, with many tears of laughter shed. Having him MC the whole evening was the best decision we made. He helped keep the mood in the room lively, creating lots of banter and fun for the crowd. Everyone said it was our best Christmas party ever. Thank you Chris for making it such a memorable night!
Perry HomesThanks for being a pro, Chris. You turned what could have been a tricky situation - no stage, no spotlight, people spread out - into a thoroughly winning situation, they laughed, and then they laughed some more.
