“You can’t put a price on creating a feeling.”

Hey, I'm Jimmy! Founder, host and the fella in the gold sparkly suit.

I spent five years in HR at a Shoreditch tech company, building workplace culture and putting on the kind of team events people actually wanted to attend.

Along the way, I figured out exactly why so many team-building events miss the mark. Gen Z don't come into the office. Millennials have team-building fatigue. Gen X would rather be in the pub. And nobody wants another trip to bowling, darts or crazy golf.

That's why I created Show Time: a high-energy, TV-style game show that gets people laughing, bonding and leaving with stories they'll still be telling weeks later. Most importantly, it's something people actually want to attend.

Because team events aren't really about the activity. They're about how people feel walking out. Whether they feel included, energised and more connected to the people they work with.

It's the moment someone gets to the podium and suddenly can't think of a single person called David. The whole room singing along during Spin The Wheel. Or the brilliant simplicity of two grown adults trying to convince each other there's a carrot in a box.

Those are the shared memories that stick. And I believe fun isn't a distraction from a great workplace. It's part of creating one.

What started with me turning up after work in a gold suit has grown into a team of trained performers who know how to work a room, bring the introverts in alongside the extroverts, and make sure everyone feels part of the show.

We've now delivered hundreds of corporate events for teams across the UK. L'Oréal, Coca-Cola, Linklaters, Hays, Snapchat and Savills have all trusted us to deliver, and more than 250 five-star reviews say we haven't let them down.

I've had a slightly unusual career. As well as five years in HR, I've written questions for Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and The Million Pound Drop. I've also written and produced my own sitcom for the BBC, and I was in the very first episode of Made In Chelsea, where I played (convincingly, may I add) the role of ‘man in queue trying to get in posh club’.

When I'm not in the gold suit, you'll find me with my fox-red lab Bella, hunting for a husband, or watching Tottenham lose. Usually all on the same day.
