Corporate Testimonials:
“We’ve had Peter perform at the Brewers Lunch multiple times over the years and he’s always been fantastic. He’s genuinely funny, knows how to read a corporate crowd and consistently gets a great response from the room. He’s also professional and easy to work with, and we’re always happy to have him back.”
– Julian Barclay, the Brewers Lunch Networking Events
“Peter James was the MC for the annual Brisbane Advertising Association (BAA) Christmas Lunch in December 2022, entertaining and engaging an audience of more than 700 guests from across Brisbane’s advertising and media industry. From the moment he took to the stage, Peter had the room with him. He immediately connected with what can often be a hard-to-impress audience by delivering clever, hilarious and highly relatable references to the advertising industry. His ability to understand the audience and tailor his humour to the room made the comedy feel personal, relevant and, most importantly, very funny. He brought personality, warmth and plenty of laughs, without ever losing sight of his role as MC. Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with and a standout MC for the BAA Christmas Lunch. We would happily have him back again.”
