I would like to thank Rose for being available to attend ADHD Australia’s Community and Carers information day in Brisbane earlier this year which followed the performance at the Australian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA) evening.
The feedback I received from those attending both functions was very positive. I am therefore glad to say that hiring Rose made a great positive impact to our events. Rose was the perfect act - both entertaining and professional - tailoring her material and style perfectly between the evening drinks, with the professionals on the Saturday, and our Community and Carers information day. I will definitely re-engage Rose for future activities we are planning.

Rose has performed at several Share the Dignity charity events including MCing our StandUp gala event at the Athenaeum Theatre and our large DigniTea event at the Docklands in Melbourne. Rose has proven to be funny, professional and adaptable to suit the event, including doing a clean material set at one of our daytime events. I would highly recommend Rose.

I spent many years working as YWCA’s Events and Membership Coordinator. Rose was ALWAYS our MC of choice- adaptable, energetic, hilarious and able to engage a crowd- any crowd! Rowdy club goers to rowdy rescue dogs at our community dog show fundraiser, we always knew we had the right MC.
