My performances have received some positive feedback over the years. I’m starting this series 25 years ago, and we’ll eventually end up in the present.

It’s best to let people speak for themselves:

…   …   …   …   …

Australian Institute of Training and Development

Carlton Crest Sydney,  Sydney,  1/12/1992

Your wonderfully satirical portrayal of the ever-looming Government official was greatly appreciated by us all.

Elinor Crossing, President, NSW Division

…   …   …   …   …

Yale Club of Australia

Sheraton on the Park,  Sydney,  27/11/1992

. . . a good laugh was had by all.

Dr. Duff Watkins, President

…   …   …   …   …

Cooperative Housing Societies’ Association

Newcastle Town Hall,  15/10/1992

What a sensational hoax! … your understanding of our business and presentation, supported by comprehensive slides, was truly great.

Gavan Sheerin, General Manager

…   …   …   …   …

North Sydney Boys’ High School

at the school,  18/09/1992

. . . the brilliance of your hoax . . . was excellent.

Ron Moffat, Chairman – Old Falconians Union

…   …   …   …   …

Saint Peter’s Collegians, Adelaide

Royal Automobile Club,  Sydney,  7/08/1992

You . . . were an outstanding success.

Your style of ‘informed corporate comedy’ is certainly unique and a welcome change from the more traditional after-dinner speaker’s format. It combined that rare combination of wit and a well-researched speech.

Telstra

Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Terrigal,  Regional NSW,  6/08/1992

I have to compliment you on the excellent material you prepared for us. Your after-dinner speech was riotously funny and certainly deflated any egos still floating out there in the ether.

Jennie Wright, Marketing Services Manager

…   …   …   …   …

Australian Society of Association Executives (AuSAE)

Sofitel Wentworth,  Sydney,  26/06/1992

With the name Beau Rocraci, we tried hard to let our audience know that they were being duped.  However, you carried off the role of the insipid, heartless Public Servant to perfection.  So well, in fact, that people still continued to ask serious questions.

…   …   …   …   …

Young Business Network

A restaurant in Newtown,  Sydney,  4/01/1992

. . . thank you for Dr Phillip Pitt’s inspirational presentation on the life cycle of young executive brains.

As I was in on the whole comic hoax, I personally found your presentation cruelly entertaining in an intellectual sort of way.

Ian Hutchinson, Founder/Chairperson

…   …   …   …   …

Rotary – Sydney Cove

Moored boat,  Sydney,  3/01/1992

The hoax went extremely well.

David Scarlett, President

…   …   …   …   …

Australian Business Monthly

Sheraton on the Park,  Sydney,  2/01/1992

‘Jim Kirk’ future-shocks staff.

A mild-mannered, big-titled, public servant, with ‘change-of-season’ coloured braces et al., shocked our interstate staff into believing that their states were at the brink of collapse.

Big relief set in when Jim Kirk turned into Rodney Marks!!  However, one staffer has since crossed the border (from Melbourne) and is now working in Sydney (just in case?).

Garrett Naumann, National Advertising Manager
