Here's my upfront set hourly hire cost for corporate, wedding and party entertainment, sparing everyone the whole enquiry-then-wait-for-a-quote routine. Who has time for that? Time is money, after all!

Venues in central London or near me mean there's no travel charge, otherwise I'll let you know when I quote. I'm based in east London (E8) in Dalston ("Dullston") and use public transport (unless it's very close in which case I may jump on "Old Thumper").
Choose wisely! Go by the on-the-spot sketches done at events - do all the faces look like they've been cloned? Is the style infantile? And don't forget to try to get a bit of a sense of what the person you book is actually like - after all, there's a social aspect to what I do - or you risk ending up with a Muppet!
Example fees on agency price-comparison websites beginning with "From: £..." are usually pitched lower than the going rate so as to steer you towards the motley crew of random fruitcakes that populate them. It’s a bit like a lucky dip – you might strike gold, or you might end up with a dud.
Upfront hire prices plus plenty of examples of recent live sketches on a site made by the caricaturist in question means that what you see here is what you get.
Top Tips
Sketches are drawn on card (200gsm), and are presented to guests in clear "splash-proof" folders.
Preprinting branding/logos/graphics and/or messages onto all of my card/paper - with a draft design for you to check before I go to print, ensuring it's just right, adds £90. See the 'how it works' here
Fees are payable a few weeks before the day of performance (although some corporate clients' terms may vary), by bank transfer, BACS, cheque, cash or PayPal (works with Am Ex).
When we've covered the main points I'll email my booking form along with an invoice to you, and once the form has been completed and returned, my services have been secured.
We can circle back a week or so before the event just to check things are on track - and we're all set!
Fill out the basic enquiry form below, and I'll get back to you chances are before you can finish your cuppa. If you prefer a more personal touch, don't hesitate to email or give me a ring - I don't bite, not even through the phone.
