What do you love most about your job?
I love being able to tell jokes to a wide variety of people and organizations. From corporate events to private parties to comedy club shows I love telling my jokes and seeing people laugh.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having performed stand-up since 2002, I have found enjoyment in comedy clubs and festival events. Performing for private functions helps me bring comedy to more people.
Why should our clients choose you?
I’m a touring and award-winning comedian and have done the Melbourne Comedy Festival, the Edinburgh Festival and #JFL42 festival in Toronto five times. I have appeared on the television show “The Beaverton” and both of my albums “Really?” and “Butterflies” are in rotation on SiriusXM and other comedy stations. My latest album "Butterflies" debuted at #1 on iTunes.
I have also performed on many online and Zoom shows with a large amount of success.
As well, I have performed at corporate events for BMO, Sungard International, EcoLab, Sutton Group, Advocis and many others including governmental branches and departments. I think I’d be a great fit for your event.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
The pandemic forced everyone to look at how they provide their services differently. Since March of 2020, I have performed at private and public shows, as well as online comedy festivals. My equipment and AV set-up is professionally configured allowing me to provide the best possible online show for my clients. My show "Write Em Up" also moved online and just recently celebrated its sixth anniversary.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am fully vaccinated and have all booster shots that I am able to get. My left arm now feels like a pub dartboard. As well, I practice social distancing and wear a mask indoors for as long as possible.
