We hired Dominic for a work event, although I was unable to attend the feedback from those that did was brilliant. Soldiers can be unforgiving but he was exceptionally entertaining and hilarious. Not one person I asked about the experience had a bad word to say but all did agree he was first class. Thank you for what I was told was a great evening. Highly recommend.
