What they really say about Austin Knight... |
"A master of the throwaway gag and ad-lib." ...The Stage
| "Following on from last night's function I have to thank you, yet
again, not only for making your way across the country to the Stakis Hotel and making the
night extra special for my company, but also for the 390 local businessmen that witnessed
a night to remember. One of the main sponsors said he was absolutely delighted with the
feedback from his customers and that this event had certainly enhanced the business
relationship between our two companies, of which 95% goes down to the great performance
from yourself." Roger Day, Archway Events, Norfolk |

"Not a full shilling." ...The Beano
| "Austin has
performed at our club for the past ten years, and in all honesty he's saved the night on
more than one occasion when the speaker wasn't up to scratch. He has the ability to turn
any situation into a funny one and in my opinion is one of the best comics I've had the
pleasure to meet." Charlie Nicholson, Manager, Greenall's Social Club.
"Austin is one of the best comedians we've ever had at our golf day. His range of
stories and jokes is second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending him" "Austin has worked here with everyone from Jimmy Greaves to the Grumbleweeds and received a standing ovation every time." Alison Lockwood, Mid-Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce. Austin was our guest speaker at the Institute annual dinner, he did a brilliant job, was an excellent speaker and very funny.He tailored his performance to suit the audience very well and we have had excellent feedback about him. Sam Boley ACII FCILA President of Nottingham Insurance Institute The Norman Collier Golf Classic to raise funds for the Beechwood Cancer Care Centre was our best ever. Good golf, great dinner, prizes for everyone and thousands of pounds raised. But undoubtably the star of the day was Austin Knight. Two years ago, he was very funny at our Sportman's Evening, but for this mixed audience his presentation was superb. The Lady Golfers thought his jokes and stories were wonderful. "Thank you Austin, I would be delighted to recommend you if required." Mike Walker, Beechwood Cancer Care Centre,Stockport,Cheshire. Austin, thank you for a splendid evening, I hope you enjoyed being with us as much as we enjoyed listening to you. You are the best comic we have ever had, good luck in the future. Maureen Bird, McClean Homes Ridings Ltd. An excellent comedian who entertained our male dominated audience! Feedback from one of our customers was "the comedian for the evening was exceptional and kept us laughing for a long time after his act had finished!" You can't get much better feedback than that!

"Lovely smashing super." ...Mrs Bowen
Dear Austin, |

"The audience went through the roof." ...Governor H.M.P Strangeways
Austin,
Having seen Austin perform before, I knew he was perfect for our clients event - and nobody was left disappointed. The sheer variety and quick-fire delivery of his set is spot on, and his interaction with the audience is very well received. He is fantastic value for money, and I look forward to booking him for many more events in the future.
OH WHAT A NIGHT!
Just a quick note to say a sincere 'thank you' for the super show you
put on for us on Saturday evening: Everybody had a great
time - lots of compliments for the entertainment - so hopefully we will
see you again in the not too distant future.
" Austin was fantastic fun, he absolutely charmed the audience at our annual dinner, especially the ladies. Our members gave him rave reviews both on the night and afterwards. I know that some of them will be booking him for their future events."
Steve Devine, Chairman Protect. www.cardifpinnacle.com A BNP Paribas Company.
"What can I say, what a fantastic
performance, everyone was rolling about with laughter. You were brilliant and everyone
enjoyed a great evening of entertainment" |
"Funnier than my last gas bill." ...Mr K.Wong
"Austin recently supported the James Hickman Fundraising Testimonial
Dinner, held at Manchester City FC, in aid of St Ann's Hospice. James -
5 times World 200m Butterfly Champion - wanted to support St Ann's as
his father was a patient with us whilst suffering with cancer.
The evening was a huge success with spirits lifted by Austin and his
wicked sense of humour! We had guests of all ages, who had travelled
nationwide for the evening and everybody laughed. Austin really got us
in to the party mood and we would welcome him to any of our events in the future." |

"I laughed so much I weed myself." ...Mr R.Black (HM Tax office)
With a lovely, wordy delivery and a gift for the melancholic, Knight put me in mind of the great Les Dawson at his very best. I have seen and enjoyed Knight before and the combination of some great self-deprecating material and that curmudgeonly face makes this performer one of the current crop of comedy favourites that I would willingly pay good money to see any time.
"Austin made the dinner;, with his fantastic delivery, the pace of his
jokes and his sheer presence. As I was on the top table I had a clear view
of people's reactions, and almost everyone was in tears from his humour. He
holds his audiences so well that they don't want his act to finish. What
astonished me, and quite a few others, was the way he went from joke to
joke, quite breathtaking !!
I have received loads of letters about the dinner and all of them said what
a fabulous comedian Austin was on the night.
We will certainly book him again, with the assurance that we will get a
wonderful evenings' entertainment." |
