Testimonials

KidsOut has regularly used Mike Osman for their major fundraising events and have never been disappointed. Mike is a consummate professional who is attune to his audience and has always listened to our changing requirements. I thought I had seen him at his best many times but this year he absolutely nailed 2 of our major events as both compere and auctioneer. The committees for both of these events were reluctant to use him as they were concerned about how Donald Trump would be perceived. As KidsOut had successfully used him at many other of our events, they reluctantly agreed to take him.

The committees running these 2 events were poles apart from what they wanted from him. The first was adamant that they did not want Donald Trump and wanted him to be fairly serious. Mike controlled the 870 audience magnificently and we raised a staggering record amount from the evening and in particular the main auction. The committee were blown away by his performance – so much so, that they have booked him again for next year and are willing to risk some Trump or Boris!

The second event was his now infamous Donald Trump act but he delayed dressing up etc until he had completed the emotional fund raising part of the evening. Once that was out of the way, he appeared to a great fanfare as Donald Trump. We have never received such positive feedback from any of our events and the committee have booked him, as Boris, for their next event. As Donald he could not have been a funnier or better auctioneer which resulted in significantly more being raised than expected. On the night, we had a record amount of attendees book a table for next year!

All in all, I cannot thank Mike enough for the many events he has conducted so successfully for KidsOut and we intend to continue to use his services on a regular basis.
