"Stu and the team were extremely professional and had our own ‘front row’ very excited to be part of the show. Stu is an extremely talented host and lightning quick in keeping the fun flowing. We live in a world of online meetings now and Stu set the bar for managing and orchestrating this flawlessly. 10/10 from us, you created a real buzz in our business, thank you." - Ben, Practice Lead, Merkle
"We approached Stuart to help us organise our company's online birthday party. Stuart was amazing from start to finish. On the night he blew us away with both his professionalism and his friendly wit. It would not have been the same show without him in the host seat. Everyone at the company is still talking about it". - Dominic, Softwire Technology

FEEDBACK FROM IN-PERSON EVENTS:
Stuart is regularly booked to engage audiences at in-person events, read her latest feedback below.
"Stuart Goldsmith hosted h Club 100 Awards for the first time in 2017. His contribution to the ceremony was immense, he engaged the room in a unique fashion and immediately established a rapport with the audience and had them laughing out loud. He made the whole evening and had the audience certainly in the palm of his hand. He had strong background knowledge of the awards and hosted with confidence. I cannot recommend him highly enough - he certainly took our awards evening to a different level this year." - Michael, Creative Director, The Hospital Club
"We were delighted to use Stuart as host for a high-profile awards event in October 2019, of which our audience was significant in size and important in profile. Stuart’s professionalism was of stand-out quality. What is striking about Stuart is his ability to entertain an audience, whilst also being a perfectly considerate and eloquent host for the awards part of the event, which is vital. It’s not always that a comedian really cares about the awards element, or so it seems - but quite the opposite with Stuart who makes it his business to understand the tone and content, the industry, and that industry’s nuances. Consequently, we booked him for a second event and he did not disappoint. And so, we’ve now booked him for a third event - and counting!" - Rob, Director, Max Publishing
"Stu was super, a real pro. He pitched his comedy just right, and I'd definitely consider booking him for a corporate event again. Refreshing to have a comic who's able to get a crowd really laughing without causing too much controversy or offence; so a safe pair of hands for a corporate event." - Miranda, The Observer Effect
