The act
The space around your wedding speeches is where Jez Watts could combine hosting with a carefully judged piece of comedy. He has worked professionally as a comedian for twelve years, giving him a wide body of existing material to draw from. When your celebration calls for something more personal, Jez can write new material for the particular occasion and crowd. He will discuss the content and length with you, and he is direct enough to recommend someone else if he believes he is not the right choice. You would most want that honesty and comic experience at the reception, keeping formal moments connected without losing the room.

I have a wide range of existing material from being a professional comedian of 12 years, and depending on the event can write bespoke material for it.
Good to know
What to expect
He'll work out with you what your event actually needs from a comedian before committing to anything. And if the honest answer is that he's the wrong fit, he'll tell you and point you at someone who suits it better. That kind of straightness is rarer than it should be. Content level, set length and how long he's on for are all part of that conversation.
On the day
A microphone and speakers. That's the short version, and most venues already have both. A stage and lighting help the set land but he can work without them, standing on the floor in front of the room if that's what you've got. If you haven't got sound gear, he can bring it.
Set List
Twelve years as a working comedian means there's a lot of existing material to draw on. He can also write new material for your event if the occasion calls for something specific to your crowd.
Performance options
Sound and lighting can be supplied if your venue hasn't got them. Wedding MC work and general event MC work are quoted separately from stand-up sets, so be clear about which one you want.
Insurance and paperwork
