“Thank you Gerard for coming all the way to Wellsford to help us fundraise for our local school which we did end up raising a nice amount to go into our educational fund. Your show was very entertaining and everyone loved it. we have people asking us when the next show will be, Thank you!”

Milo Walstra - Wellsford School

“Gerard V performed at our Hotel to a sell-out crowd and absolutely everyone had a fantastic night. The show was comical genius, the production side of things was 100% taken care of and weeks later our customers are still talking about the hilarious antics of the evening. Gerard is a true professional, an entertainer that I would highly recommend to anyone.”

Mik (Owner Cooma Hotel)

“What a great show you delivered the Bridport Hotel on Friday night. A lot of time and effort was put in our end in regard to advertising, ticket sales, seating etc. I was so pleased to find that when you arrived to our hotel you were a true professional. The way you worked the crowd, your ability to engage everyone and fill the room with laughter was brilliant.

The feed back from our guests was fantastic.”

Darren Martello - Hotel Owner

Grant Pell - South Morang Football Netball Club

“Gerard was a fantastic host and entertainer. The service provided was fun engaging and ‘on point’ for a corporate environment… If you’re thinking should I, or shouldn’t I…don’t wait. Book him in for an activity and day of fun you’ll never forget!”

Duncan Maclean - Cash Converters

This was a small group show for about 40 people.

“Gerard we have a great time last Thursday. Everyone was in awe of the show. Most people didn’t know what to expect which was a treat!

Time went by so quickly and talk around the water cooler the next day was quite interesting. It was really an experience to most people.

Matt was the favourite, he was so funny as he was completely under your spell!”

Tania Laguna - CSR Sydney

Here’s what the Doggies had to say after the show.

“Gerard delivered exactly as promised, a family friendly night of entertainment and laughter. Our club has been searching for an event which appeals to a greater audience than just a sporting club and whilst there were many sceptic’s, within our club, of hosting the show.

Gerard provided a professional and polished show which silenced them very quickly and was able to convert some to active volunteers of his show.

It is a spectacle to behold when a performer has the 100% attention of his audience. What started as a function with tables of people turned into a standing festival of fun. The post show reviews were outstanding as 70% of our guests volunteered to be part of the show.”

The Thuringowa Bulldogs AFC recommends Gerard to any prospective groups wishing to hold a family friendly, non-threatening and public engaging activity. We will be looking to engage Gerard again in the future when assessing the season’s entertainment requirements."

Thank you! Everyone had a great night, having you is always a hit and I’m sure we will have you back again!

Samantha Hopkins - Deloitte

“Thank you Gerard V for making my brothers bucks day so memorable! It’s been two weeks and the boys haven’t stopped talking about it. Seeing your best mates get hypnotised is an experience like no other! Super professional, extremely easy to deal with and a very reasonable price, Thanks again.”

Chris Primmer

“Thank you for such a fun evening on Friday Night. Our clients certainly appreciated it and we have had some fantastic feedback already.”

Astrid Boore - Avis Budget Group

This was an event for 150 teenage girls from a local Jewish School

“We recently had Gerard perform for a function that we held for high school students. He was fantastic! He excitedly engaged the crowd, who thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Considering the age of our students, we had many requests for him to adapt the show to what we feel is appropriate, and he went above and beyond to accommodate all of our preferences. Gerard was really great to deal with. "

Miri Lipskier

Fund Raiser Show in Stanthorpe QLD

“. . . just wanted to say thanks for coming to Stanthorpe I haven’t laughed so much in ages really loved the pink panther and nursery rhyme/football song parts especially but the whole show was hilarious!!”

Meagan Barber Diefenbach - Stanthorpe

“Thank you again for a wonderful show and there’s a lot of people wishing they hadn’t missed the show so I’m positive another show will be very popular.”

Michelle Ross - Stanthorpe

“Thanks for a wonderful show Gerard V . . . everyone had a great time!”

Karen Murphy - Belgrave South Cricket Club

Not one person in the room had experienced a hypnotist show live before and had no idea what to expect. A group of blokes on a Bucks day is surely a tough room. Gerard’s professionalism and guidance provided everyone a safe and comfortable environment to experience what it meant to “go under”. The guys who went under were hilarious and treated the others to a great show! Exceeded expectations!

Ben Finnegan

“Gerard V was fantastic! In three words - Entertaining, funny, mind blowing. Gerard’s show truly made the hens a memorable occasion for all.

From our initial contact through to his follow up after our event, Gerard is super organised and a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you so much.""

From all of Erin’s Bridesmaids

“Just to say Thank you for an excellent entertainment at our Annual Christmas lunch for our staff and clients!

You made the event funny, special and memorable. Having an audience of mainly men, most were all very sceptical at the start, but it didn’t take long for them to embrace your performance.

A few of my colleagues were lucky to get hypnotised and they were the stars of the party!!!

I have been getting nothing but compliments and if anyone is looking for a distinctive entertainment that will be remembered forever, they need to have you there!

I would have no hesitation in booking you again for future events as you leave nothing, but fond memories.”

Mira Bulut - Payroll & HR Officer

Becs Pharazyn

It was such a great night!,

Amy Ryan

We all had a fantastic night and have had great feed back. Thank you for opening or closing our eyes to the world of being hypnotised.

We would love to see you back in the Omakere Community in 2017!! We can’t wait to organised another event and have another awesome night.

Wow What A Night !!!!!

I would like to thank Gerard for providing such great entertainment for our AGM … You were fantastic and hilarious, and I have not laughed like that for years. The feedback from Staff and Guests was all so positive, many were sceptical before the Show, but I am no longer unsure of the reality and impact of hypnotism … You have changed their minds and many more after seeing your brilliant show.

You have new life long fans.

Northco Insurance Brokers Christmas Party

A huge thank you from all of the team at Northco. We were all very nervous going into this but you made us all feel so comfortable and at ease. I was hypnotised [and] the feedback from all of the team here has been incredible.

So many laughs and lots of tears (the good ones).

Also I wanted to point out the great organisation at your end. It was awesome to be able to turn up and just enjoy the night. The dealings that we hard leading up to the function were all fantastic. Absolutely no issues what so ever.

Once again massive thank you and also to Simon [crew]. We will definitely be recommending you to everybody we can.

Jacqui Hurley - NorthCo Insurance Brokers

We had Gerard V at one of our quarterly functions. Booking was really easy as Gerard is very organised. The show was amazing!! Very funny and entertaining. Some people were worried before the show but Gerard put them at ease and these people ended up being the funniest to watch! Our group only had around 25 people but Gerard adapted to this. I highly recommend Gerard and his team for any function big or small!

Sophie Monteath-Bell - Ernst Young

It was excellent and enjoyed by all. Thanks a lot and will definitely look up your website for our next event.

Gerard V’s show was great. Awesome team builder whether you were on stage or laughing at those that were. Feedback in the office is “my cheeks have only just stopped hurting from laughing so much” Awesome night enjoyed by all. Great set up with lights, sound and atmosphere. Would highly recommend for a corporate function. Thanks Gerard, you’re a talented funny man!

Karina Chapman - TreNZ Homes

Just a little bit of feedback for you on your journey. I was battling the blues and just feeling more and more depressed day by day. Whatever you did to help me during that time we were meant to think about what we wanted in life (I focused on weight loss and happiness) the weight is coming off, slowly but consistently but more importantly, I wake up and I feel like a have a purpose and feel more positive about life. I feel happier, each day a feeling of joy washes over me and this is sustained during the day. If I feel like I’m getting down its like something in me over rides that feeling and I start to feel lighter again in my emotions. So I owe you a big thank you and I feel blessed to have been there part of your show. As you e given me a gift that I didn’t think possible looking back now before the show.

Thank you once again for your fabulous performance on Friday night. Everyone who attended the show had a fantastic night full of laughs! The feedback was great. We would love to have you perform again at the Young Services Club.

Belinda Allen - Functions & Marketing - Young Services Club.

On behalf of the Warragul Country Club I would like to thank you for running our recent Comedy Hypnotist Night.

All the work you did in the lead up and including the set up of the venue with your lighting and microphones made the night such a success. We have only heard good things from the customers and the photos that you provided for us after the function were a huge success on our Facebook and web site.

The work that was done with all the emails and phone calls to make sure that everything was running smoothly including the help with the posters and the marketing advice was a very big help to get our event out to the public.

The event was a massive success and we will be booking in for next year for sure!

Patrick Thornton - Warragul Country Club.

Had a lot of great feedback from the night. Everyone raved about the show. It was a great fun filled night full of old fashioned belly laughs!

Julie Norton - Mooloolaba Bowls Club Inc.

What can I say that I haven’t already said over the last few shows you have done for us Gerard. You gave us all a night of side splitting laughter, you made some amazing people even more amazing by getting them to perform some beautiful vocal renditions. Opihi College Temuka rocked last night, due to your awesome show. Very Happy Birthday to your dear mum and was a pleasure to share a little in her celebration. See you again Gerard.

Fiona Frew - Opihi High School Temuka

Went to see Comedy Hypnotist Gerard V at Maidstone Upper Hutt City Football clubrooms with my girls and the lovely Lavery family. Sharon Lavery. I ended up volunteering amongst lots of others to be hypnotised, as I don’t care if I make a fool of myself in the interests of fundraising, but after talking to my daughters when it was all over, I was a worried as it seemed that I misheard a few instructions. Note to self….I need to go and get a hearing test! Great evening though! Thank you Michael for taking the photos.

Thank you Gerard V for an entertaining evening at the Upper Hutt City Football Club.

Rosa Stewart - Upper Hutt City Football

A massive thank you to Gerard and his crew for a fantastic night last night. We throughly enjoyed your show. You overwhelmed our expectations and had us in hysterics. A great all ages event. Thank you.

Kate Tyndall (Smith) - Learmonth Football Netball Club

On behalf of the Sebastopol Football Netball Club I would like to thank you for running our recent Comedy Hypnotist Night.

The feedback I have received from everyone who attended has all been positive and they have all told me what a great time they had. We are all still laughing every time it is mentioned.

I would personally like to thank you for the way in which you conducted the evening and the assistance and guidance you gave in the lead-up to the night. Your professionalism meant that the organisers were also able to enjoy the evening.

We would definitely recommend one of these functions to anyone looking for a fun and easy fundraising event, and I have no doubt we will be booking in for 2016 as soon as the fixture for next season is finalised.

Thanks again Gerard for coming to club and making sure everyone was involved and had a fantastic fun night. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

Angela O’Brien - Sebastopol Football Netball Club

Thank you for making our night so much fun, so much laughter in one room was fantastic!

Debbie Weisgerber - Belgrave Football Club

I just want to thank you again one more time on behalf of the Falcons 2000 soccer club committee for coming down and entertaining us Friday night. Everyone who attended had an absolute ball, and the people who didn’t attend regretted it, which means numbers will be higher next time!

We will stay in contact over the next 12 months or so, because we do want to get you back down as it was a night to remember!

Thanks again to you and the team, for the setting up, equipment and everything you did!

Cameron Pistrin - Falcons 2000 Soccer, Morwell

A great way to raise money for our school. The feedback has been fantastic:

“I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard or so long ever in my life!”

“I have tears in my eyes from laughing!”

We thank you very much for a great night.

Candice Braithwaite - Kingaroy State School P&C QLD

The YFNC extends its sincere thanks to Gerard V for a hilariously entertaining night. The show was everything that was promised and more. We have had hypnotists before, but Gerard’s family friendly and non intrusive style means this show can be enjoyed by all ages, especially the participants. Our event was not only a fantastic fund raiser for our club, but has had people raving about it for weeks. If you are looking entertainment for any event, stop looking and book Gerard V now!

Daniel Webster - Yinnar Football Netball Club

THANK YOU for coming up for Mum’s fundraising. The audience had nothing but positive things to say about how spectacular the event was.

GREAT GREAT SHOW!!!!

I am already getting some more requests for another show and so I would like to go ahead and plan with you and your team another showcase.

Jennifer Roden Paru - Fundraiser

Thanks Gerard. An entertaining show executed in very a professional manner!

The staging, sound and lighting were fantastic and Gerard’s edgy, yet good clean fun approach to comedy, had the audience in hysterics throughout. Gerard was also great at communicating with the audience both before and after the show, providing many insights into the practice of hypnotism.

Overall, the performance was highly engaging and enjoyed by all. We will be sure to invite Gerard back for another corporate event in the future!

Olivia Thomson - Deloitte

What a way to start our Christmas party, you took a mix of guests and made them all feel comfortable then set the tone for the rest of the day with your fun & entertainment.

The staff are raving about how good the performance was.

I would highly recommend Gerard V.

Peter Bennett - Managing Director Britton Timbers

Sarah Milgate - Rich River Resort.

Wow, where do I begin!..THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your performance last night, you were amazing and everyone enjoyed the show so much!

Who would have thought Twinkle Twinkle Little Star could be sang whilst doing the haka!

It was a very surreal experience and I feel honoured to have had such a professional entertain my friends & family.

I now challenge any of our friends to top my party, the only way that they could, is if you were performing there.

Thank you very much Gerard, you were brilliant.

Kind Regards

Alison & Ryan Moloney

This was a small group show for about 20 guys.

I was at the show on Saturday night and extremely enjoyed the night. Your entertainment was great and the etiquette you showed to your Volunteers was terrific. What a funny night!

Vanessa

“Gerard V was the the highlight of the party! Gerard is a pleasure to deal with, efficient and accommodating . . . and bloody hilarious. The crowd was begging for more; the hypnotised and audience alike.  People are still raving about it two weeks later. Thanks for a wonderful evening!”

Moshe L  - Young Yeshiva Event Organiser

This was a celebration involving about 50 people, all male in this case. It was very relaxing and funny.
