Reviews for previous Sion James events
Another great evening . The host always welcomes new people and helps create a real friendly atmosphere. The sound check makes sure the comedians can be heard. That’s why we keep coming back for more. Happy Mondays tomorrow night. No not Shaun and the boys.

The venue was rated as 5 star as it was my own house. The comedians were mostly enjoyable. The atmosphere created by the host was less than satisfactory. I felt that he was sharp and over emphasised the ‘rules’ of the event. Pestering people to put in their web cameras is inappropriate - there are all sort of genuine reasons as to why people choose not to activate their web cameras. If you are going to forcibly insist that people switch on their web camera then consider making it part of the Terms and Conditions so that people can choose to attend or not. At one point I was ‘muted’ and chastised in a public forum for apparently blurting something out which was not the case as I was sitting on my own quietly, not clapping or making any sort of noise that would be detected by the microphone. This spoiled part of the experience for me and would make me consider attending again.
