On behalf of the Narraweena Rugby League Football Club we would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for making our sports dinner Auction Night Function on Friday 8th July 2005 such a success. Everyone that attended the function has commented on how brilliant Gary performed on the night. The guests have said that they have not laughed so much, which is a credit to you. Not only were you entertaining but you always remained very professional. Once again thank you for all your assistance in preperation for the night and for helping us make our function so successful.
We look forward to working with you in the future.
Your performance really went down spectacularly and your work at making the day flow certainly added to the success.
Thank you SO MUCH Gary, you are brilliant! Hope we get to work with you in the not too distant future.
Dear Gary,
A great big thank you from all of us at TNS! Your brand of comedy was exactly what we were looking for when we arranged the opening of our new Sydney premises. Our clients were extremely impressed with the whole evening, which was contributed to enormously by your comic set. It kept the evening light and allowed our guest to go home with smiles on their faces. Please accept my congratulations and thanks for your involvement in our special event.
Our thanks to Gary Eck for entertaining us. His performance was enjoyed by all as we had a good laugh at his quick, sharp humour. We also thank him for his tolerance as there were a few hiccups in the room set-up, but he good naturedly waited, and helped!, until everything was ready.
Despite the difficult task of entertaining a crowd of Accountants from Ireland to Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and Sydney, ranging in age from 18 to 60, Gary Eck broke through the barriers and had the whole room in stitches. He tailored his performance to our needs and thanks to Gary our night was an outstanding success
Gary mixes experience with an outrageously funny stand-up routine
Fresh, funny, original… and he’s not even from Melbourne!
Gary was an absolute pleasure to work with. Would definitely use him again should the opportunity arise
Funny, funny man. Judged the audience well and held their attention throughout dinner. We will definitely use him again
His performance was great and he was very well received by the audience
Gary emceed our recent roadshow tour of Australia. He was very prepared and kept the audience in stitches through-out the long morning sessions. I don’t know what we would have done without him. Well done Gary!
Just wanted to say a big “Thank You!” for your efforts at the Melbourne Nestle Forum. The client was extremely happy with the interviews and I know the lovely Jenni enjoyed working with you. So thanks!
I look forward to working with you again soon!
Gary was fantastic - would defintely use him again and recommend to others.
Gary was very friendly and co-operative and really got the local people involved. He was very funny.
Gary was an absolute pleasure to work with. Would definitely use him again should the opportunity arise.
Gary had the audience in the palm of his hand. Very professional, funny til it hurt and a fabulous result! I would be more than happy to have Gary on all my events.
I just wanted to let you know that I am eternally grateful for the wonderful job you did for us last night. It was a complicated brief and run sheet and not only were you the consummate professional, you made me cry with laughter time and time again. After all these years managing events it's not often I honestly think a performer deserves their fee - but you Gary are a star.
