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! Your experience really helped us organize a very well-run event! We’ve had great feedback from our attendees and the consensus is: “when’s the next one?”." - Ailleen S, Community of Hearts, Guelph ON

We’ll definitely be doing this again!" - Leo P, Delta Bingo & Gaming

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. Peter is funny, talented, punctual and very polite when he's not performing. We at PPFD would love to have Peter Anthony perform for us again." - Denise R, PPFD Ltd

With such a successful show, I am sure Hockley is becoming a recognized great venue to host Yuk Yuks for our valued guests. I just hope I (we) can put together this calibre of a show for all our future bookings. We are looking at booking a new date already... " - Amanda T, Hockley Valley Resort

	"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

Jeff Elliott	"Thanks again for arranging to have Jeff Elliott perform at our function. He was just great and his act was definitely the highlight of my husbands party!
