Chris Dugdale

I’ve worked with Paul Stone on a number of productions both in U.S. and the UK, and it is a very rare find to experience someone who organizes both the big picture of a show and the details as well. When I’ve been privileged to be on one of Paul’s bills, I can rest assured that I have nothing to worry about.

One cannot learn that type of knowledge of showbusiness. For Paul, it’s who he is.

Jeff Hobson

Paul has decades of experience operating at the pinnacle of his profession, and has developed a discerning eye for exceptional talent.

He has been a massive help to me and my career.

Paul Zerdin
Winner of America's Got Talent

Paul Stone's ability to bring together the best talent with high production value and class is why his name is well-known in the entertainment industry.

When an artist is booked by Paul, you know they’re going to be great.

Charles Bach

I can think of no-one better or with more experience to help mentor, guide and advise. Paul has worked with the best in the business in the leading venues around the world so knows a thing or two about what makes an artist good or great.
This is a unique opportunity with his help to take your career to new heights.

Marvin Berglas
President of the Magic Circle

I have had the pleasure to work with Paul Stone on many occasions. I have been fortunate to see him operate behind the scenes. He knows what he is talking about. He is a consummate professional and highly experienced.

I trust Paul and Tim can make any performer better. Having a fresh perspective from an experienced producer who has worked with the biggest names in the business is invaluable. When you get to this level, it is the tiny details that tip the scales in your direction.

Kevin James

I worked with Paul several times, when he booked me for the many shows he would produce. There are few working entertainers in our industry who also have the ability to successfully mount major theatre shows, mine were at the London Palladium and Las Vegas.

It's because he was a working pro that gave Paul the understanding of not just putting together a
first-rate bill, but what seasoned performers required of the crew, the venue and the staging.

It’s one thing to book a good roster of star performers, it’s quite another to know how to sequence acts, and have the instincts to judge which mix well with others in the show as a whole, how to achieve balance and maintain momentum and energy throughout.

The reason so many pros from around the world were pleased to work with Paul was his empathy for the performer, coupled with a frenetic work ethic, attention to detail and always insisting on achieving super-high production values within the strictures of the budget, a magic trick in itself. Nothing was too much trouble for Paul, and he expected the same from performers and crew alike, which is why he earned our respect.
