Jeff Thomson was great.
Jeff was very good on the night and the majority thought he was very entertaining.
He was very good. Held the audience and an appropriate speaker for that audience. I thought he conencted well with the audience. I didn't even notice that he spoke for a long time, probably because he was entertaining. The audience was on the edge of their seats for the entire one and a half hours he spoke.
