I'm a professional comedian with 20 years experience and I've been seen on NBC's Kevin Hart LOL, CBC's Rick Mercer Comedy Night, CBC's Halifax Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs, The Toronto Star and The Montreal Gazette. I'm available for corporate events, office parties, private events or anything you want a comedian or MC for. My performance can be tailored for any age group or content restrictions. I can provide lighting and sound if needed.
I've just joined Gig Heaven so I'm offering introductory rates.
Below are testimonials from past clients:
"Whether it’s a corporate function, fundraiser or comedy club Alex is endlessly entertaining. Audiences both young and old have told me their cheeks hurt from laughing"
-Jesse, Newmarket Comedy Festival
"To this day staff are still quoting his jokes. He struck the perfect balance between humour and respect. We would strongly recommend Alex for any event for his proven skill of tailoring his work to specific audiences
-Tara, Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Toronto
"Exactly the way I wanted it to go. It was a mix of young and old and Alex was hysterical. I thought there was something for everyone"
-Kimberley, CIBC
"I hired Alex Wood for our office Christmas party and we couldn't have asked for a better performer. We ended up having him back for three years in a row. The staff and their families always had the best time."
-Dina, Rideau Carleton Hospital of Ottawa

Every show is different and I can perform in any environment. I've performed everywhere from Toronto's historic Massey Hall for 3000 people to intimate bar shows. If your event is for a large audience, a microphone, spotlight and stage would work best.
I really only need to know how many guests are expected and the start time.
Can be provided for an additional fee.
Sure
I've performed at The Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto as part of Just for Laughs(capacity 1700) and Massey Hall in Toronto(capacity 3000 people). Those two and my numerous television appearances on NBC and CBC would be my most high profile gigs. But I've also had as much fun at random bar shows.
I love performing for a group where everyone knows each other. In those settings sometimes I will do an hour of just crowd work which audiences usually love.
I've been a touring professional for over 20 years now. I started by going to an open mic night in 2005.
Shakira-Hips Don't Lie
My set can range anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. The most frequent time for a headlining comedian is 45 minutes.
I'm from Canada, of course I'm happy to perform outside.
I can mix in crowd work with material and can cater my act to any rating. Corporate clean comedy or more like you'd see in a comedy club.
