I have been to a few of Sam's shows and he is the best comedian in Sydney I know. He always has me in stitches with his quick witted stories and comments and be assured you will be in for a great time with lots of laughs when you meet and see him perform. I highly recommend him for all events whether it be a Birthday, Wedding, Anniversary or just for that Special Occasion..."Laughter really is the Best Medicine"

The Sam McCool Christmas Cruise was cool in every sense of the word.. The event really works for me "The Cashman" because
* the comedy was on point, funny and challenging,
* the event worked great ,
* Sydney harbour was magic,
* the food was great, * the boat worked and
* there were lots of fun people to meet.
