Everybody raved over their performance. They were definitely a highlight of the evening. It was just what we were looking for - we had a diverse range of ages in the audience who all really enjoyed their performance.

Brilliant Entertainment. Added a little bit of customisation - just right. They deserved and received a rave response that has continued beyond the Conference. Very professional

Comedy with music is a difficult medium. Names such as Victor Borge, Anna Russell and Danny Kaye stand out, but the list of great performers soon thins out. The Scared Weird Little Guys can stand tall in this celebrated company

The Ballarat Courier, April 2004

If they had called themselves the hilarious Musical Comedy Giants it might have sounded like bragging, but it would be a more accurate description.

Adelaide Advertiser, March 2006

Perfect choice of material for the type of guests we had. Everyone had lots of fun and the party was a great success. The Scaredies were awesome.
