Steve Patterson

“Steve was a hit and very well-received. I felt a mixture of relief and disappointment he didn’t roast the co-chairs (myself being one of them) a little! His shots on government were wonderful and played to the crowd nicely. I know many enjoyed a good hard belly laugh and were very entertained. He continues to be talked about in a positive and memorable way.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Undoubtedly, Steve Patterson is Canada's Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny Carson and Jon Stewart wrapped into one dynamite bundle. As a host and writer, Steve is collaborative and creative without ego and pretension.”

“Steve’s performance was incredible! He was hilarious, engaging and inclusive in his routine. The academic crowd can be a tough one but he made the panelists feel at ease on stage and even crack a few jokes of their own. I would not hesitate to engage Steve in another event for us. His performance will be difficult to top!”

“Over the years, we’ve worked with many entertainers for our gala, and Steve is one of a kind! Not only is he ridiculously funny, he is warm and engaging, and spends the time getting to know the crowd so he is able to be current, relevant and really make people feel connected. The perfect proof? Steve has helped us to create the kind of experience at our gala that resulted in our most successful fundraiser yet! We. LOVE. Steve Patterson!”

“Everyone thought that Steve Patterson was amazing—so witty, funny and just on the mark. He was bang on and very quick on his feet to react to the crowd which had a big impact. I think that he really kept everyone engaged.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Many people came up afterwards 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.”

“Steve kept everything running smoothly with intelligent wit at every point and punctuated with absolutely hysterical bits of comic genius.”

“His talent borders on a type of brilliance I’ve rarely seen in either the worlds of comedy or business. Sold-out audiences consistently pointed out Steve as the highlight of the night.”

“I have heard nothing but rave reviews as to the quality, wit, and intelligence of your show ... you had our audience in fits of uncontrollable laughter for 60 minutes!”

“I have never seen such preparedness in a stand-up comedian. You had quite obviously done your homework on the school and me. You had everyone laughing from the word go and kept it up for the entire set.”

“Everyone thought Steve was hilarious and thoroughly enjoyed his show. I would recommend him to anyone considering him.”

“Not only did your style of humour appeal to our diverse group, it was clear that this was a customized show based on the research you did within a very short time frame.”
