Richard attended our summer social event in Liverpool and was a huge hit! such a talent, everyone was so happy with their pictures and he got round so many people in the time we had. The pictures were very funny but never offensive so they were the exactly right balance. would highly recommend!

Richard Ellis Caricaturist - Caricaturist - Birmingham, West Midlands Event Location: Liverpool Event Type: Corporate entertainment 9th July 2026

We hired Richard for a company social event on Monday evening and he was absolutely brilliant. From the moment he set up, he was warm, engaging and clearly in his element. The drawings were genuinely impressive. He had an incredible ability to capture people's likenesses in a matter of minutes while still making them funny and flattering in equal measure. You could hear the laughs and the "oh my god that's so you" moments right across the room. What really set it apart was how much Richard added to the atmosphere. People who'd never met before were bonding over their caricatures, showing them around, taking photos. It became one of those things everyone talked about at the end of the night. If you're looking for entertainment that actually gets people interacting rather than just standing around with a drink, Richard is the one. We'll absolutely be having him back.

Richard joined us at our annual Summerfest at our solicitors practice. He was personable, chatty and added a real element of fun, excitement and anticipation with his drawings which created lots of laughs that in turn brought people together. I would highly recommend Richard at any event to add that je ne sais quoi.
