Lehmo has fast become one of Australia’s most sought-after corporate comedians.

Lehmo has hosted and performed at corporate events of every imaginable shape, size and style – conferences, awards nights, gala dinners, sportsman’s nights, charity fundraisers – and he always walks away having taken the event to another level, with the client raving about his contribution.

Feedback
Lehmo was awesome. He was so professional and funny and his Covid anecdotes were so on point. I thought he was brilliant and so many people said as much in the days after. He was 100% brilliant- thank you! FuturePlace

Australian Sports Commission

I just wanted to say a big thank you for Wednesday night on behalf of the Deloitte Human Capital Consulting team! It is a hard act to engage virtually over a Zoom audience to a large group of people who have been in lockdown for over 100 days, and you really reached our diverse audience with appropriate humour and impact. We have received so much great feedback across the team and that is was the most fun/funniest virtual event they have been to.

From the first 3 minutes, you had the full attention of all 430 guests, had them all laughing and engaged! We look forward to hopefully working together again in the future!

We broke our fundraising record largely thanks to Lehmo. He created a great vibe in the room and we have had very positive feedback from our audience. He did a great job.

Big Blokes Lunch

Our event this morning went fabulously, a full room of 150 people to appreciate Lehmo and his utopian humour. He was fantastic & so interactive with our team and clients. Please pass on our thanks to all involved in facilitating his appearance at our function today. It has been a pleasure to work with him.

Lehmo was perfect for our event. Everything about his presentation was exactly what we were after.

Oatlands Secondary College

From the outset, Lehmo was accommodating, easy to work with and selfless. It was clear that our needs were the priority, and this was evident in the research he'd obviously done on our industry, and the additional elements added to the script. He held the room wonderfully and made every one of the 1,100 guests feel important and welcome.

Property Council of Australia

On Behalf of the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) Lehmo's keynote address was a fantastic way to lead into our network drinks, after an intensive day of professional development and peer-to-peer learning. Many of his stories and anecdotes resonated strongly with the local government audience present and was reflected on by many as the perfect end to a fantastic day.
