"Riaad was very engaging and relevant. The feedback from the staff was overwhelmingly positive and if the opportunity arose, we would certainly choose Riaad again. Most appreciated that he did not focus on a specific religion/ race and no one felt uncomfortable, which tends to happen when a comedian focuses on a specific group."

Riaad was absolutely brilliant. For Sunday night he managed to get a very negative crowd to relax and have a great evening. On Monday he was challenged with small groups who were very reluctant to sit and listen. But he was still able to loosen up the crowd and leave a lasting impression of the event. Our client was very happy and has requested to use him again.
