"We just completed our Comedy Show and these three Comedians are professional! I will endorse these three individuals Meg Soper, Steve Levine, and Rick Currie. They had the crowd going in a never ending gut wrenching show, I just hope we will not be responsible for breaking smiles and laughter in a class action suit... These guys are terrific..."

"I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for some good belly laughs. My son has been in hospital lately and some days it seems like I've lost the ability to smile, much less laugh. Yesterday I was in the car and it just happened to be tuned to CBC. My thoughts were elsewhere but then I began to hear your set. Well, no sooner did I begin listening and I was smiling and then I was amazed to find myself laughing out loud in traffic. You really have a great show and your humour is very smart and witty. I needed that. Thank you."
Janis - Toronto
