      In these frigid winter months and for our overly burnt out staff, Brandon was the perfect touch for our Staff Holiday Party. He was not only funny, but very personable and engaging. He knew how to read the room and the audience very well. He interacted in a way that made even the most unlikely suspects responsive and receptive to his conversation or a friendly joke about them. He was able to engage with every level of staff present, and end the interaction with each person lingering laughter and/or holding a smile. He made the entertainment factor effortless for our staff (as he even brought his own equipment). Definitely would recommend.
