TESTIMONIALS
“We have used Tanya for a number of years now and we are always blown away by her ability to create amazing shows which always captivate our audience. Not only is she a highly skilled performer but she's great with kids and families which is an important factor for our family friendly events. We've never looked elsewhere for a cabaret show or workshops as she is always a trusted supplier and a huge hit with our festival goers.”
Katy Emmett - Event Organiser and Managing Director of Mighty Dub Fest
“Tanya came to our secondary school last year. She was amazing and a big hit with the students and staff. Our school is an SEMH school (social, emotional and mental health issues) it is not always an easy task to get students to engage, even when it's a fun task but Tanya managed to do this effortlessly. She was very approachable, friendly and fun and worked at a comfortable pace knowing that each student was an individual and may work at a different level to another. Our students absolutely loved her workshops, and even the staff couldn't help joining in as it was so fun!! There was a variety of workshops so the students learnt loads of different skills and talked about it for weeks afterwards asking when she could come to school again!! Tanya was just amazing.”
