About


Spencer is ideal for weddings, christenings, bar mitzvahs, corporate events and parties... In fact, any occasion where you want something a bit different that will not only amaze your guests but give them a souvenir that they will keep forever! Spencer mingles with guests and is perfectly happy to draw sitting or standing. He can go table to table and doesn't need to set up equipment or expect guests to form a queue! Spencer is a regular cartoonist for PRIVATE EYE magazine.

Spencer is especially good for trade stands at exhibitions - he guarantees to increase footfall and to make your stand the envy of its neighbours! Prospective clients can chat with the stand hosts and don't have to pose or keep still. Then they take a unique, branded gift that they can't get anywhere else!

He is very quick and uses a black brushpen, giving a very bold, fluid and graphic image. Don’t worry if any of your guests are the ‘sensitive’ type – nobody gets offended and he isn’t too cruel (unless you want him to be of course).

Personalised Caricature Gifts
Offering a unique take on gifts for family and friends, Spencer will create a fantastic sketch likeness from a couple of good-quality recent photos. He also provides the unique service of customising wine bottles - perfect for events and Christmas presents! With Spencer's artwork, the possibilities are endless!

Personalised Wine Labels
If you are providing wine for your guests, get a professional-looking UNIQUE label designed with your caricatures on it, complete with photographic background detail and text! Totally hilarious! Spencer did one for Angel at "Escape to the Chateau" and she loved it!

A great added feaure to anyones evening. The only picture I did not like was my own, but I think that is natural! Taking a copy of the image and adding it to Wombo brought them to life... strange but so funny. Would book again. very professional.

We hired John's services for our wedding and it was definitely a brilliant decision! John was spectacular throughout and he was not only extremely talented with his work but he was an excellent charismatic host to all our guests. Everyone of our guests personally came to us to say how amazing John was and we'd like to say if you are thinking of hiring a caricaturist then look no further. Hands down one of the best additions to any event. 5* service and talent. Thank you again John!

Spencer was great! He worked past the hours he was paid for due to everyone wanting a drawing, which was lovely. His drawings were superb and gave everyone a laugh! As he was leaving he was happy to just quickly draw Alex's grandma as she hadn't had one! Thank you Spencer!

Absolutely brilliant act, we didn’t notice Spencer was there most of the time as he blended in really well with our guests so there was nothing invasive about him. Spencer knew how to interact with our guests though when he did speak to them, everyone praised him. It was lovely to have some extra gifts for people too and a great way to entertain them. It also helped that he could do just one person at a time, meaning there wasn’t people held up in a group for ages. I would definitely recommend Spencer to anyone. 11 out of 10!

Spencer was fantastic at a work party that I organised for 300 people. Everyone was laughing and thoroughly enjoyed his work. He was also very quick, without the quality of his work slipping, which was impressive considering the number of people that wanted to have a caricature done.

Spencer was brilliant. I was very disappointed to receive a phone call from Bob, the caricaturist we should have had at 8.30pm the night before the wedding, advising that he would not be able to come as he still wasn't feeling well after being in hospital. I was given the impression that this was not an emergency but had been a planned visit. However, Lois at Warble very kindly and promptly started looking for a replacement at 9.15 on the wedding day, where we were advised that Spencer was available, unfortunately he had some trouble finding the hotel and was a little late but said he would stay longer. He was very friendly and got straight to work on arrival, mixing in with our guests and chatting away. The whole night Spencer had a line of guests waiting to have their pictures drawn. Every single person was made up! He made sure that he went round and got all the main wedding party, us, my bridesmaids, my parents and the best man and his wife. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend Spencer and would not hesitate to book him again!

Spencer was great, he had my guests laughing and talking about the caricatures all night and even now they are raving about it and thought it was a great idea! I was very happy with Spencer and also happy that my guests enjoyed themselves. You have been extremely helpful and accommodating from the first enquiry I made with you down to the final details! Much to my surprise my partner actually proposed to me on the night so now I have a wedding to plan!! So I now need to come up with something different for my wedding. I will certainly use Warble Entertainment again and have already recommended your services to friends and family, thank you so much for your great attitude and help, great service is never forgotten!

Hi Charlotte, just to let you know that the short notice we managed to get Spencer for our wedding reception was brilliant. Also he was great fun and entertained all our guests, we were running behind schedule with the wedding but Spencer stayed for a longer period of time so we would get our 2 hours out of him. We have recommended him through Warble Entertainment to friends.

Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply, thanks for the congratulations, wedding was fantastic, everybody had a great time. Me and Paul thought the day went off without a hitch. Thanks so much for providing Spencer to us, he was amazing. Myself and Paul both had our pictures done and I love them. They are now framed and on the wall in our living room. Spencer always had a queue of people waiting to have their pictures drew, poor guy didn't have a minute to himself!! We have had so many fantastic comments about him, saying that it was such a good idea to have him there, I just wished he could of stayed longer!! Please pass on my thanks to Spencer as I didn't get to see him before he left, and that he was brilliant. Very talented. Thanks again so very much.

Spencer was superb! He was very much in demand and a great success, everyone commented what a great idea it was to have a caricaturist at the wedding. He was jovial and also, due to speeches over running slightly, he was prepared to stay a little later than planned to make up for lost time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Spencer to anyone. Dealing with Warble was also very easy. Thanks again.


Amanda Perry

Hi Charlotte, In one sentence, we cannot recommend Spencer highly enough! He was absolutely fantastic! From the moment he arrived to the moment he left, he produced drawing after drawing after drawing. He was the talk of the wedding - and still is! I was a little apprehensive and dubious at first thinking that guests would need encouraging to have their caricature done, but he had a queue out of the door and everyone was so pleased with the end result. I can't wait to have another party and he would be at the top of my list to book again. Thank you Spencer for making our wedding so memorable.

Would not hesitate to recommend Warble Entertainment and Spencer for other events! From the outset, Emily was highly organised, regularly updating us by phone and email. Spencer himself, despite being caught in a downpour of biblical proportions on his way in, performed like a trooper, and actually committed to drawing all of our guests, refusing to stop for refreshments. He got the party off to a really good start, which he sustained throughout the evening. What more could we hope for?! #ThumbsUp #ThankYou

What can I say? Spencer is a great guy - very talented and hard working. He managed to draw the majority of the Guests (80) in a 3 hour period! The Ladies loved their pictures as they were very flattering, and the Gentleman thought their caricatures were hilarious! I can highly recommend Spencer - he was very unobtrusive during the evening and is a smashing guy! Very dry and very funny! (thanks for making me look so good in my picture!) As always, Warble (Sam) were very efficient and friendly with all the organisation. Sam took a great deal of time and trouble to find this act at very short notice. Thank you all, Debbie

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed having him there as part of our special day, he made the evening very fun and gave our guests an additional fun memory and something to take home. Spencer was professional and polite and excellent at what he does. I'd happily recommend him to anyone who was looking for a caricaturist as I would (and have) recommended Warble Entertainment as entertainment providers. Many thanks

Hi Matt, Spencer the artist was amazing, worked the room well, got on with it and put everyone at ease, got round a hundred people at our wedding every one asked where we got him from, so hopefully he'll get more work out of it. Fantastic entertainment and value for money. Definitely recommend him to any one in need of an artist.

    FAQs

    Are you as good as you say you are?
    I’ve been a full-time professional artist and entertainer since 1996, specializing in “live” caricatures. Over the years I have drawn tens of thousands of portraits and I know just exactly what’s needed to add an extra dimension to the atmosphere and your guests’ enjoyment of your event. The magic of the experience comes from the finished picture and how funny it is, and from people seeing it unfold in front of their eyes in two or three minutes. I use a black ink brushpen on shiny white card, which gives a dramatic effect and helps me to draw more quickly. As the lines can’t be erased, it’s a bit like walking a tightrope with no safety net! I’m the first choice of the leading entertainment agencies in the North West and I have worked all over the UK and abroad. So you are in safe hands!

    Do guests have to pay for their pictures?
    No. I charge a fee for attending which covers everything with no hidden extras. But don’t worry, because I work hard, give 100%, and guarantee you will be totally happy.

    How can I keep my drawing safe if everyone is drinking and dancing away?
    Each drawing is presented in a clear plastic wallet, which helps prevent creasing and damage from spilt drinks. I can keep it for you until the end of the evening, or you can run out and put it in your car or hotel room to make sure.

    How many people can you draw at an event?
    Each drawing should ideally take between 2 to 4 minutes. Sometimes a queue will form which means I can draw quite a large number quickly, or sometimes I will be mingling between tables during a dinner perhaps, which means that there is more time between drawings, but I always make sure that everyone can see what’s happening so they can join in the fun.

    We are a charity, will it cost us less?
    Yes. Although I don’t work free of charge, I do give a discount. There is also this other benefit: if you like, you can provide me with a sealed collection tin and I will collect donations from guests. It’s important to remember that they will be under no pressure or obligation to donate, and there is no fixed amount stipulated. They can simply put something in the tin if they love their picture, and, if the drink is flowing, well, you see what I mean. It’s important to remember that this only works if the guests know that there is no pressure on them and that the drawings are all free and that they can donate if they feel like it. Although I can’t guarantee how much I will accumulate, I have very often covered my fee so that I end up costing the organisers nothing!

    Do you work at corporate events?
    I entertain at all kinds of events. Office parties, Christmas, awards dinners, team-building… expertly done caricatures are unique and really set your event apart, and can be a superb way of entertaining clients. Not only that, employees and clients alike will keep their caricature for ever, and with the date and your company name on the drawing, will always remember where they got it!

    Do you work at birthday parties?
    Yes. Caricatures done “live” at birthday parties (young or old, a big occasion or a small family get-together) are wonderful entertainment, and a permanent souvenir that guests will always treasure. Funny and lifelike caricatures are a unique and exciting way to entertain everyone.

    Can you help at our trade fair?
    This is a really amazing way to boost footfall on your stand. I proactively go out and attract passers-by with a friendly and confident approach, draw their (complimentary!) caricature and let you get on with the business of turning them into clients. Contrast this with the stands where the staff sit and wait for customers to come to them – they don’t. Customers and potential customers go away with a permanent reminder of their visit to your stand – one that they can’t get from anyone else.

    I’m getting married. Is this a suitable kind of entertainment?
    Definitely. A wedding is such a happy occasion and these hilarious caricatures just add to the fun and jollity. Also, sometimes the guests don’t know each other so well, or at all, and having caricatures done “live” is a brilliant way of bringing people together. With the date and the bride and groom’s names on the picture, your guests will be reminded of the big day for years to come.

    Any other tips for my wedding?
    Yes, I'm a hotbed of tips!! Scan the calendar for future sporting events. Remember the World Cup! Attention might be focused on the big game rather than your wedding! CHOOSE VENUE CAREFULLY!  In my opinion you need your dancefloor and your bar IN THE SAME ROOM.  If the bar is separate you will get people being boring and sitting in there talking about house prices and schools and politics going fwah fwah fwah instead of joining you in getting down. Seen it so many times! ALSO - is the room big enough for your sit down meal? Don't let them cram too many guests in - I've seen it done! I could name and shame - but I won't. Is the room the right SHAPE?  I've seen rooms where guests can't see or hear the speeches because they are round a corner! You're welcome! :)
