Wedding Entertainment
Thursday, September 30th, 2010
If it’s wedding entertainment you are looking for then look no further…Laughlines have been entertaining at weddings for over 12 years with their original comedy waiters and Fawlty Towers events.
It really does make the day special when you have amazing fun and laughter at your event, that’s why our comedy waiters are first choice when it comes to wedding entertainment. Our waiters are acclaimed professional actors with vast experience and skills…first they blend in with the real waiting staff and make small mistakes and because we play European waiters and don’t speak much English it becomes quite difficult trying to understand what anybody wants… soon the waiters move into a fast paced calamity of accidents and errors including fires in the kitchen, dropping ice buckets and slipping on ice to serenading the Bride and the audience with classic songs (with unusual lyrics) and then some crazy flamenco dancing! Our testimonials are unparalleled and speak volumes about our professionalism, energy and unique style.
To make your wedding day the most memorable and talked about ever then contact Laughlines and ask for Laughlines Comedy Waiters or Fawlty Towers events! Telephone - 0845 170 1600 or email info@laughlines.net
