The act
A sense of participation could develop around Patrick Duffy's improvisation based entertainment, with connection and shared fun central to his approach. Working as Cleverfool, he is an emcee and facilitator as well as an entertainer, bringing those skills into a performance shaped around the people attending. For your wedding, you might discuss the spoken parts of the reception and whether an interactive contribution belongs among your plans, rather than assuming a particular routine or format. His background includes more than twenty five years of theatre and event experience, alongside work helping groups become more engaged with one another.

Good to know
What to expect
The shape of the job decides the shape of the answer. Patrick Duffy starts with a bit of back and forth over email, follows it with a phone call, and will sit down with you over a coffee if that helps pin down what the session actually has to achieve. Only then does a proposal turn up. What you get on the day is a room that laughs and a room that walks out with something it can actually use. Plenty of speakers manage one of those. References are available if you want to hear it from someone who has already booked him.
On the day
It shifts with the job, but the bare minimum is a lapel mic and a handheld. The lapel keeps his hands free, which matters for improvisation work, and the handheld goes out to the room when people are taking part.
Performance options
Nothing off the shelf. Every workshop and every performance gets built around what you actually want the day to achieve, so the emcee work, the facilitation and the applied improvisation training all get shaped to the outcomes you name at the start.
