Rob (Pue), Mayce (Galoni) and Jeff (Elliott) were absolutely FUNNY, quick on their feet, prompt and so easy to deal with. I’d also like to thank you for making the whole booking process easy and for walking me through the logistics of planning out a comedy night!

A pleasure to work with and he worked the crowd quite well! He had everyone including our CEO in stitches. It is late Monday afternoon and I am still hearing these words "Man, that comedian was freakin' hilarious!" Peter even held his ground with the hecklers.

Martha Chaves	"Egale Canada was thrilled when Martha Chaves was available to host our IDENTITY Gala on May 24, 2018. Being familiar with Martha through her work with the CBC, we expected that she would bring to the event her usual high level of comedy and personality to a diverse Gala audience – which included the Prime Minister of Canada, The Hon. Justin P.J. Trudeau. However, Martha exceeded our expectations in every way! She was the perfect addition: fun and funny, simply a hit with the Gala crowd. Her interaction with the audience – and even conversing directly with the Prime Minister from the stage – brought many non-stop laughs and helped make the evening a resounding success. Working with Martha was a breeze. She was extremely accommodating, professional, prompt and a pleasure to deal with – exactly what we were looking for. Thank you, Martha!" - Egale Canada - Mark Fellion

Everyone was really pleased and thought it was a great show. The general consensus was that it was a well done event and that we should look into doing it annually. Which I am SO pleased about!

I would recommend Alex Wood to anyone wanting to have an audience, that both leans in to listen and then leans back to roar with laughter. Alex is so gifted of a story teller, that when he is entertaining a crowd of people. You’re convinced it’s just you he’s talking to and sharing the details of a story Alex Wood is an exceptional talent that brings an “it” factor to his performances. It sets him apart from the good and has him headed towards stardom. Which is simply when the rest of the world finds out, what I just said is true." - Gord Garner, Event Organizer Learn Laugh Listen
