Dave was a great hit as the guest speaker at our conference dinner. He took the time to interact with delegates prior to presenting, which the audience loved and which made the night.
In terms of Dave and his performance. He surpassed our expectations. He was so generous with his time and sharing with the audience. He was the perfect start to our Summit. He set the scene for what was a very special event. And most importantly, he was bloody funny and generally a wonderful human being. From our initial meet and greet with Dave, we knew he was the perfect opening act.
OMG he was amazing, he got in the photo booth with about 30 people. He was funny, and the BEST.
Our audience loved Dave! Very professional throughout the evening. Dave did really well with using our provided inside jokes and information about certain attendees in the room. It made the attendees feel seen and showed that he had put some thought into the night.
Dave Hughes is one of the funniest men in a city that has produced many of Australia's funniest people.
Hughes has become one of the most appealing, and most powerful comics around.
Very funny and was very well received by the football loving audience.
Hilarious an outstanding success with our delegates - extremely low maintenance too. (How refreshing!!)
