Testimonials
"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 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 iStandUp gala event at the Athaneum 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 enlisted Rose for a couple of different events during my time programming the music industry conference Face the Music at the Melbourne Art Centre.
The first year I was involved we had Rose participate in our Splendour Forum debate, in conjunction with Splendour in the Grass. Among notable musicians and industry professionals, Rose provided a very astute and entertaining takedown of advertising’s affect on the music industry. The following year I asked Rose to moderator our Music Listening Panel. This was a more serious discussion panel with music industry professionals including high profile overseas delegates. Rose did a fantastic job mediating the conversation, keeping us on track and on time.
The feedback on Rose has always been great. She’s also a pleasure to deal with and I’m always looking for things I can get her to host!"
