1. Dear Sir I Madam,
Please find enclosed our latest information will give you an indication of the various after
dinner speakers and comedians available through and managed by this office. We also supply
general forms of entertainment, including casino evenings, theme nights, hypnotists, magicians,
live music and P.A. systems, lights and staging. Details are available upon request.
The lists merely highlight our most popular and commonly booked artistes, and only make up a
small portion of our vast database of available performers. Business and motivational speakers are
available on request.
Why do you need to employ an agent? Ever had someone give you the number of a speaker or a
comedian? The assumption is often made that by dealing directly with an artiste, you are booking
an artiste of the highest quality, and most importantly – saving money. NOT TRUE!
As agents, our aim is to offer guidance and information based around your requirements, but also
to deal only with professional artistes, with a proven track record and at the LOWEST price
possible. Imagine bartering with a celebrity – you feel obliged to accept their quotation without
knowing whether or not the fee is over or under their usual rate. We KNOW!
For peace of mind we send out full written confirmation, and supply our terms of business
BEFORE you book, so no nasty surprises afterwards - you won’t often get this when dealing direct.
What if the artiste is ill, doesn’t turn up, gets lost, or completely forgets about the booking? This is
when an agent usually gets a call! We confirm every booking in writing at the time of booking to
each party to the contract, again 1 month beforehand to the artiste, and again to both parties
verbally 7 days before the event takes place. We have an emergency back up service available
from 9am – 10pm every evening should the unexpected happen. We will always endeavour to find
a replacement artiste should a serious problem occur – again to the original brief supplied – so as
your event isn’t disrupted too much!
As members of the Agents Association (GB) you can feel confident that your entertainment
requirements are in safe hands. Confirmation, and matters of complaint can be dealt with by
contacting the AA (GB) head office on 0207 834 0515.
Our intention is to provide you with a first class service - on hand most hours of the day to discuss
your needs. So why not give us a call now - and lets take the hard work away from you. We are
not pushy, will not offer anything you do not want and offer friendly, impartial advice – at NO
CHARGE to YOU.
We look forward to hearing from you - soon!
Yours Sincerely,
After Dinner World Ltd
