Reviews:
In April 2011, Mike Simmonds presented a program at the Saskatoon Public Library on Stand Up Comedy, and it was well-received by a mixed audience of adults, teens, and seniors.
The event consisted of a stand up routine, followed by some stories about the life of a stand up comedian and some tips on how to get started in stand up. Mike’s comedic routine was fresh and funny, and his stories about how he got into stand up as a career were poignant and personable.
He had clearly made a connection with the audience, because four different people of varying ages took him up on his offer. It was very heartwarming. When the event was over, people stayed to talk to Mike and to each other for well over a half an hour, which doesn’t usually happen at a Library program. All in all, it was a wonderful evening at the Library. I am happy to recommend Mike Simmonds for this sort of program. Gwen Schmidt – Saskatoon Public Library
Thank you for taking the time out to read what I have to say about a very funny and a gentleman and a pleasure to work with in the entertainment industry. Mike Simmonds has a sought after show that will entertain all demographics . It's funny, gut wrenching, hilarious and good clean fun.
On the business side, Mike is very professional and polite; he works for the client and is very approachable to make a deal that fits the client's budget . In my twenty years as President of TCU Place Social Club, it was a honour to book Mike as my last comedian and the best comedian. That is big words coming from myself, as I have been involved in the Entertainment industry for over twenty five years.
I highly recommend Mike Simmonds to be your comedian for your next corporate, private, staff, or Christmas event. Feel free to call myself if you have any further questions on one of the funniest comics in the business!Marty Gilley - TCU Place

We all found your material to be varied, fresh, timely, and of course upbeat. Your impersonations were deadly. Your ability to perform without the typical stream of four letter words was particularly appreciated, considering the event. You surpassed our expectations by 1000% for this function, and we have no doubt that your career, and following will grow with each performance. We all enjoyed you thoroughly and you were an integral part of the success of the party. Nutana Machine Ltd

Mike Simmonds was a pleasant surprise. He had some great lines, good stories, impressions and didn't offend anyone with his 'lack' of the use of four letter words. If you are looking for a decent performance we suggest you entertain the idea of showing off Mike Simmonds. If you are looking for a good, mixed audience show, Mike would be your choice.

Each event was a success and both audience was pleased with Mike's performance. He realized each crowd had a different level of humour and adjusted his comedic talents accordingly.
