Putting the story into art history

Need entertainment your guests haven’t seen a hundred times before? I turn art history into stories they’ll tell and retell.

Few things damage a reputation more quietly than an evening guests can’t remember.

I deliver story-led art history experiences that are fascinating, witty, and tailored to your event, leaving every guest entertained, enlightened and genuinely glad they came.

A tour de force... fascinating, funny and memorable, you made the hour fly by.
