You can’t do better than Steve Patterson for an event MC! He’s funny, relevant, engaged, and easy to work with. The 600+ corporate leaders who attend our event each year have given us rave reviews on Steve’s participation. We’re thrilled to have had him back to host two years in a row (and hope to have him join us for a third).

Marty Parker, President and CEO, Waterstone Human Capital

Steve Patterson is not only one of the funniest comedians on this planet, but he can act, write, host and even SING! His talent is unparalleled and to top it all off, he is a wonderful and warm human being.

We were blown away with the customization of this show! Steve connected with our audience from the second he stepped on stage. He’s simply in a league of his own.

Henry Van Ankum, Chair of Grain Farmers of Ontario

“I would like to extend my gratitude to you for serving as the guest speaker at Lambton College’s second annual President’s Gala. The President’s Gala is the Lambton College Foundation’s largest and most successful fundraiser and your participation helped to ensure yet another successful evening.

Your professionalism was evident from our initial contact onward, during which you learned about Lambton College in order to personalize your presentation. Your references to Lambton College and the Sarnia area resonated with the guests and made the event even more enjoyable. It was a pleasure working with Nancy to navigate event particulars travel logistics as she was extremely understanding and very professional.

We have received nothing but positive feedback from our guests about the entertaining show you delivered. Thank you again for a memorable evening. We would be thrilled to work with you again in the future.”

Marc Guilbeault, Director - The Lambton College Foundation & Alumni Association

“Steve, wow. Thank you. I can honestly say I have never heard our clients laugh louder in all the years we have been doing this.

I don’t think it is any surprise to you when I say you nailed it, as I know you would have felt the energy from the stage and I could see you feed off it. I would be surprised if it was much louder when you did your sold out show there, but I know I am little bias. Many people remarked to me at the end of the evening that they never heard so many “belly laughs”.

As impressive as you were in your monologue, I was even more impressed by how incredibly well you handled the interviews. I did not have a true appreciation of how difficult that interview was going to be. When I first brought up your name to act as a talk show host, I did not consider the nature of your “guests”, which included a 10-year boy and a lady who survived 460 days of torture. That interview had a high potential to fall apart and I think you used every one of your skills to keep it on track. […] cannot imagine anyone else who would have been able to pull that off.

What I have always appreciated about you is how much research you do before each of your shows to customize your materials to your client, which was the key reason I wanted to engage you. You did this masterfully once again”.

Craig Senyk, Cfa, Vice Chairman - Institutional Portfolio Manager

“The show was off the hook. Raving feedback is still coming in from the Gala. The bar has been raised again.
On behalf of my President Mike Rosen and the entire Tree Canada team we would like to send you all our heartfelt thanks. The conference was the best one ever and the gala was the perfect icing for a normally diabetic crowd.”

Richard Walker, Director Of Communications And Program Development - Tree Canada

“I have been a fan of stand up for many years but last night was, without a doubt, the best night of comedy I have ever experienced. Though we truly enjoyed every single debate, the Eric versus Sean debate is simply indescribable. Forget the standard lines about laughing so much you can’t breathe or you pee your pants, […]
I can’t wait for you to return next year. I will be there for sure and this time I will bring my daughter as well.”

Andrew Horsfield, Senor Sales Manager - Lord Elgin Hotel

“Steve was a huge hit with our (at times unruly) audience. So much so that I have reached out to Kelly MacDonald at Speakers Spotlight about booking him again for next year.
Thanks again for all that you and Steve do. It truly contributed to one of the most successful REX Awards to date.”

Constance Wrigley - Thomas, Cae, Executive Director - Naiop Greater Toronto Chapter

“OMG - I LOVE THIS MAN!!! He was amazing!! He did better than hold the crowd’s attention….. he owned them!!!!!
I would and will work with him again in a second – he as a true professional and one of the funniest emcee’s we have ever had!!”

Denise Collier, Director Of Special Events - Qeii Foundation

“I wanted to say thank you again for a great job last night at the OMDA awards. Many people came up afterward and commented on how great Steve was or how he set the right tone and flow for the evening. They felt like “he got them” as an audience. My sincere thanks and appreciation for doing what you do, so well.”

Sandra Skivinsky, Director Of Marketing And Business Development, Canada Masonry Centre

“Steve presented an engaging, funny, relevant and appropriate performance to my clients and colleagues. His ability to incorporate recent events, comments from the crowd and our business into his material was amazing.”

Carl Spiess, Senior Wealth Advisor - Scotiamcleod Financial Services Inc.

“We were blown away with the customization of this show! Steve connected with our audience from the second he stepped on stage. He’s simply in a league of his own.”

Henry Van Ankum, Chair Of Grain Farmers Of Ontario

“It was no coincidence that Steve Patterson was host of the most attended TCA Luncheon in 75 years! In a notoriously tough room, Steve had the eclectic audience laughing from beginning to end. If he wasn’t married, I’d introduce him to my wife!”

Jason Pelligra, Events Administrator - Toronto Construction Association

“You can’t do better than Steve Patterson for an event MC! He’s funny, relevant, engaged, and easy to work with. The 600+ corporate leaders who attend our event each year have given us rave reviews on Steve’s participation.

Marty Parker, President & Ceo - Waterstone Human Capital

“Over the past few years, Steve has made a huge impression on our gala attendees. He is gregarious, hilarious, and whip-smart. He tailors his material to our crowd, can be seen jotting down jokes about breaking news at the very last minute, and truly isn’t afraid to toe the line – a combination that makes for a truly remarkable host. Our guests were floored by his performance in the first year he joined us, and they’ve been begging to have him back every year since! Steve is right on the money.”

Kayla Calder, Writers' Trust Of Canada

“Steve Patterson is not only one of the funniest comedians on this planet, but he can act, write, host and even SING! His talent is unparalleled and to top it all off, he is a wonderful and warm human being.”

“Steve was fantastic! He brought an energy level to our event that was both needed and welcomed given the not so happy forecast news we had to share. Members appreciated it.”

Kimberly Mcdonald, Realtors Association Of Edmonton

“I knew in advance that Steve was the guy for the job and, immediately after his opening monologue, I knew we were in for one heck of a ride. As the conference co-chair, I watched the faces of those in the audience. I have never seen a happier, more engaged YPO audience (and I’ve been a member for 15 years). Several people asked who’s idea it was to have Steve as MC for our event. I was proud to say…”mine.” […]
Steve set the pace and mood for the event. He was quick-witted, engaged, responsive and an absolute pro; not an easy task and he did so with humor and ease. He engaged the crowd and kept the show flowing while entertaining, informing and charming our guests.

Abby Steinberg, President - Paragon Corp. Inc., Ypo Canada

“Booking Steve is so much more than just booking one of Canada’s best comedians. Whether to perform at our gala, or helping us launch a new fundraising event centered around The Debaters Live, working with Steve guarantees the best possible, clean, and current comedy, and flawless logistics. There is simply no way that we could be bigger fans, or more grateful to have had Steve and his team working with us to raise money and profile for our organization.”

Carolyn Tuckwell, Boys And Girls Club Of South Coast, BC

“Working with Steve on our event was simply a pleasure. But more importantly, Steve was “all in”, with whole-hearted preparation—through thoughtful questions and his own research. It was very evident that Steve truly wanted to help make our event a success… and he delivered!!

Thanks for helping us to make last night such a fun, successful, and meaningful evening... where guests could laugh, cry and sing at the same event.”
