Reviews for previous Sion James events
We had a fabulous night well done to DRT for organising the event, we live in Yorkshire and would have been babysitting the grandchildren who are in deeside so daughter and son In law could attend the event had it gone ahead as planned so we would have missed it but we were able to attend the online event, there were a few hiccups to start with but were soon cleared up. We were muted the whole time as we're the majority but there were one or two laughing out loud which made it impossible to hear the punch line sometimes but overall it was a great night

Loved the evening and the difficulties were dealt with really well. Content was fantastic and loved the comedians, they dealt with everything with grace and would happily watch the same night with them all over again. Unfortunately I was constantly fiddling with the sound to the point I thought of applying for a job as a sound tech. I would definitely considering have some "smart hands" to control the video aspects so we can see who is talking and who is being spoken to, if possible within zoom. Another suggestion would be to nominate a small number of people who can turn their mic volume down for laughter and feedback and make them aware they would need to mute themselves to speak or if background noise got too much. So it's organic laughter but not distracting from the punchline. Everything else was superb and would jump ata second gig. Thank for doing this event to everyone involved and I appreciate there were some tough lessons learnt ready for round two. So definitely pat's on the back all around! Again mega thanks. Rob
