“Their performance was all we talked about yesterday. They created such a buzz!”
Fantastic…. engaging, entertaining and a real pleasure to work with.
A delight to work with and engaged so well with the audience! The feedback has been great from the guests, clients and sponsors! Such good fun, lots of laughs and everyone wanted to be involved!
They clearly understand the purpose of the event and made reference to Skype, their link with Microsoft and even where they were staying.
The voice of God announcing the coaches was interrupted by the CEO jumping on stage to ask for an encore! It was the first corporate encore I’ve seen!
The audience absolutely loved the performance and it is still being talked about at other events.
Abandoman were absolutely excellent. Feedback from staff has been outstanding with everyone commenting on how perfect they were for the audience. Rob and his team were nothing but polite and very professional and no requests were too difficult. I would happily use Abaondoman again for future events and have already passed on JLA’s details to staff who have asked about using Abandoman in the New Year.
Abandoman were genius and an absolute hit with the audience (Novo Nordisk) –the way Rob and James get the client information and weave it into their act in such a short space of time is fantastic and with Rob’s easy humour it really hits the right spot. I have had lots of comments on how great they were, a few even going so far as to say the best act they’ve ever seen at a corporate gig so well done to the guys a really excellent night.
