DAVID ST JOHN - Clean Stand Up Comedian - Birmingham, West MidlandsEvent Location: Conservative Club Cannock StaffsEvent Type: Cannock 18th November 2022
David provided the entertainment for our annual fish and chip supper on the 18th November 2022. The evening proved to be a great success with David making a huge contribution to our enjoyment. His approach is very flexible and he deftly tailored his routine to suit his audience. His use of audience participation was very much appreciated with requests and sing-alongs. He interspersed his excellent singing with quick fire comedy. Comedy which did not require any bad language or crudity to make it extremely funny.
If you want a great evening of entertainment David is your man.

David St John was the compere for our Town's big event in 2022 - the Burntwood Jubilee Wakes Festival. We estimate that David entertained around 2,500 people for the all day event, introducing acts, singing, and telling jokes, and keeping the atmosphere going. It was clear that David enjoyed the event, and his enthusiasm was infectious! David had great stage presence, and even off stage he was very engaging. We were also impressed by David's commitment and energy in the run up to the event, as well as on the day itself. He's a great chap to work with.

Dear David,
Thank you so much for putting on a fantastic performance. (Afternoon of music, comedy, themed pieces etc) We are so lucky to have you on our books as I can't think anyone else would do a better job. Such a well thought out routine with a brilliant balance of music and speeches which made the day a very special one for the residents, trustees and staff.

Hi David Thank you so much for entertaining us all so well at our moms 90th birthday celebration. The age group at the party ranged from 8 through to 90 and we can honestly say that everyone loved it. We have had so many comments about your show, it was far better than just having a singer which we had originally planned. Your interaction with the audience was spot on and we would highly recommend you for your all round entertainment and humour.

DAVID ST JOHN - Clean Stand Up Comedian - Birmingham, West MidlandsEvent Location: Copythorne Village Hall New ForestEvent Type: W.I. Centenary Copythorne14th March 2018
David entertained us in a WI meeting where we were looking back at the late 50's and the 1960's as we were celebrating our own centenary during this year of meetings. He quickly established a good rapport with our members and amused us with jokes, reminiscences of his own journey in the music scene and a reminder of events in the decade. We particularly liked the chance to request and join in, the great songs which many of us know so well and it was amazing how David could accompany brilliantly whichever songs we asked for, on his 12 string acoustic guitar. He finished up giving answers to the 60s music trivia questions we had thought up and demonstrating his encyclopaedic knowledge of the music and musicians of that era. Altogether a lively and memorable afternoon!
