“Okay so where do I start honestly I can’t chose a favourite part so I’ll list them all so the MC was amazing I loved [their] outgoing funny vibes the performance were really good as well but the lipsyncs omg they were amazing if I wasn’t so shy I would of gotten up. The food was really good but my most favourite part was the dancing dancing with literally everyone and seeing people going all out even if they couldn’t even dance was amazing…”
