If the up close and personal feel of fringe has always made you cringe (stop acting!!), then Goode's theatre in your home service is sure to get your hair up.

For £10 a head, Goode - who's known for his one man shows - will show up,
become part of the party, and we're pretty sure, embarrass your guests by dragging them into his performance, much like a cheap night at the Comedy Store, but with the showmanship of an actor.

If theatre's not your bag, but you'd still like to order a man with tricks, there's always Rubber Ritchie or Magic Sav - but now we're seriously into birthday party entertainment territory. Which, if you've ever been to a dull dinner party ('What do you do for a living?', 'Have you seen photos of my daughter?') - may not actually be as tragic as it sounds.

Anyhow, we think that anyone who has the balls to show up, try to single handedly make or break a dinner party, is okay by us (especially Goode).

And if the performance doesn't cut it, at least your guests won't stay for coffee.

Yes, we really are that mean.
