TESTIMONIALS “It seems to me that the art of the compere is a dying art. Too many performers “turn their hands” to it as if it were a simple matter. However, in practice the need for sharp awareness of the potential for dead spots, to play off situations with a constant stream of ad libs and to control an audience without presenting “the set” is no mean feat and one that, as a booker, I can say is in short supply. However, in Bennett Arron we have not only a gifted comedian, but also a man who appreciates just what it takes to compere a trade awards show, such as the Fraud Awards, and have the audience loving every single minute. Outstanding!” Mark Emmott, Director, Retail Knowledge (Media) Ltd
