Reviews for previous Sion James events
Great way to try and reach people during lockdown. Good fun. Flowed really well. A surprise ‘big’ nane in comedy, which was a great bonus. Most of the comedians were great , it can’t be easy doing a routine this way ,so think they all did good compare was fab in his role and brought it all together ! Would definitely attend another. Great value for money. Actually felt like we had been out! Just not out out.

Loved Friday night, great to see and support talented comedians during these times, and the Zoom format really works well. Thanks to Lloyd, Charlie, Laura, Tony and James - and a special mention for Sion who keeps it all together in inimitable fashion. Looking forward to the next one.

Excellent evening yet again. Josh was definitely a favourite. Last review was obviously taken seriously - the comedians cranked it up a notch. Compere has tenancies to paraphrase reviews slightly incorrectly (Haha!) but in saying that, filth rating was 5 stars. He's lucky he's funny too. Also - never seen such a handsome and beautiful looking audience.
