Aaron James Testimonials

"Everyone I spoke to thought you were brilliant! "

Stuart Randall, President Insurance Institute of Leicester.

“Aaron James, an unknown quantity to us, brought the house down!  His tandem impressions of Chris Eubanks and Frank Bruno were absolutely hilarious and his topical impersonation of Kevin Keegan was equally well received.  A modest, self-effacing character, I would unhesitatingly recommend Aaron for any type of function.”

Roger Gosling, Chairman of Hull Ionians RUFC

What can I say?  We had 2 days of debate, the delegates were mentally tired, but after 35 minutes of your impressive performance they were sufficiently invigorated to ensue a new all-time record bar bill!!    You ensured that everybody left the conference on a high, and those who were unlucky enough not to be at this conference have already asked if you will speak at the next.
I have had so many comments after the dinner and also walking around head office this afternoon - all of whom complimented you for your professionalism, enthusiasm and very real skill in delivering your material. It was a pleasure working with you."

Thomas G Martin, Director, Arco Ltd

“Aaron James – Amazing!  Best I have ever heard – Thank You."

Bedfordshire County Golf Union - Annual Dinner

 On behalf of the County President, David Oliver and the Executive Committee of the Bedfordshire County Golf Union, a very sincere thank you for brilliantly entertaining our Members and Guests last night.
It was a terrific performance, a lovely mixture of `stand-up' and mimicry, and everyone I spoke to afterwards was well impressed - a couple of guests took your details for future reference.
I am so pleased that you were able to attend the Bedfordshire CGU Dinner as our guest speaker and successfully negotiated the M25/M1 on a Friday afternoon/evening to arrive on time.
I hope that you had a safe and speedy onward journey to Abingdon. Thank you once again and maybe we’ll meet on another sporting occasion. Very best wishes for Christmas and a successful 2008.

Yours Sincerely, David Parrett

Last years was our 10th Anniversary and during those ten years we have raised over £10,000 each time; amounting to just over £136,000 all of which has gone towards our patients' care, equipment, welfare & facilities.
We have around 20 teams of four playing and guests come to the dinner in the early evening after which we have a Raffle, Auction & Prize giving. I look forward to hearing from you.

Peter Ebdon Celebrity Classic, Cottingtree Park Golf Club

On behalf of everyone at SPARKS we would like to extend our warmest thanks to you for providing an excellent comedy act at Peter Ebdon's Golf Day in July. It was one of the funniest acts we have seen for a long while in what is a very hard room. We are extremely grateful to you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to support SPARKS.
We have had some fantastic reports on the day and we are confident that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Thank you for entertaining guests with your amazing impressions and incredibly sharp wit throughout the 2008 golf season.
We have had some fantastic feedback from guests who have seen you at various Golf Days and are confident everyone walks away with a real sense of lasting enjoyment. Your incredible work has undoubtedly helped raise a lot of money for Sparks which will of  course go straight towards funding the vital medical research projects that Sparks is so happy to support.
Once again many thanks for your continued support of Sparks and look forward to seeing you at Bentley Golf Club on Thursday 4th September.

With kindest regards, Daniel Smith - Golf Events Coordinator

Surrey Downs Golf Club - Men's Open Day

Just a quick note to thank you for all your help and support in organizing Aaron to be our after dinner speaker at the above event. He was extremely well received, many people went out of their way to say that they hadn’t laughed so much for years!

Of especial note, I must say that the content of his act was exemplary and bearing in mind that it was a men’s night it would have been very easy to resort to somewhat ‘blue’ content and yet it was quite the contrary – I can’t even recall a single swear word.
Thank you once again and I won’t hesitate in recommending both your service and Aaron to others running similar functions.

Best regards, Phil Churchill Club Captain
