 The
Rick Mercer Report Racks Up Its Best Ratings Ever
Halfway Through Season Four and The
Show Reaches New Heights of Popularity
The Rick Mercer
Report is now one of the top-rated shows in Canada,
regularly sweeping aside its Canadian and American
competition in its Tuesday night time slot. Mercer is sharper
and more comically agile than ever: this season, on top
of his trademark rants, he has taken drumming lessons with
Neil Peart of Rush and visited Stephen Harper for a sleepover.
It's classic Mercer: making humour—and social commentary—from
the people and experiences that define the Canadian experience.
As anyone who has seen his live presentation will attest
to, he's just as funny on the stage as he is on the small
screen.

Marnie McBean Wows Toronto Audience
Proves Once Again Why She's
One of Canada's Best Speakers
Every time someone asks about Marnie
McBean, we tell them the same thing—that she has put
the same level of hard work and dedication into becoming
a great speaker that she did into becoming an Olympic champion.
Marnie proved us right once again at a recent event. Here's
what the meeting planner who booked her had to say:
"Marnie was fantastic! She is a much better
speaker than her demo reel showed. Everyone was very happy
with the outcome. In fact, the CEO mentioned to me what
a great job she did, and that he really liked the way she
wrapped up her keynote by relating her messages and experiences
to those of being a ... store owner. I would be happy to
use Marnie again in the future."
For more information on Marnie
McBean, please call your Lavin Agent or click on the link
