We booked Iris for a birthday party for my Uncle. She was great! Very professional and easy to work with.
It was awesome!. Soooo much fun. Different kind of humor in a really good way, not the old stand up comedy routine, but clean smart funny, good for kids too. If you have some jackass in your life - and who doesn’t have at least one - those rewards totally hit the spot. They are not mean but a funny way to get the point across. For the person(s) in your life that sometimes drives you crazy and you either can’t deck them or know that won’t be effective, an award like that totally hits the nail on the head in way where they actually get. It may or may not be funny for them but it sure as hell was funny for me. Thanks Iris.

These awards were balanced by the presentation of certificates awarded to those whose efforts contribute so powerfully to the mission of Cancer Wellness House and its clients. These included the Illustrious Instigator Award, Humanitarian Healing Award, Angel of Mercy Award, Elegant Enchantress Award and others which recognize the selfless efforts of those whose contributions made the event so successful.
