"Just a short note to tell you how much I took notice of you during your performance on The Debaters last week. I often times cringe in embarrassment for many of the comics, forces as they are, to go to-to-toe against each other before a live audience. I don't know how much advance time you have to create your rant, but the impressions I have is that you are hit with it on the spot. Regardless, your diatribe on the merits of pie versus cake was nothing short of brilliant. You had me not only laughing out loud in my car, but also marveling at the depth and clarity of your thought process. I muttered to myself, "this guy is the real deal." I wish you well in your future, which I truly believe will be filled with much success." Glenn Pelletier, Morning News Anchor 570 News

"Thank you so much for keeping the audience in fits of laughter – it was a fun way to start the conference. The way you mixed mental health and comedy really clicked with our people as you could tell by the standing ovation. It’s great to see the way you find humor in such a serious topic."
Missouri Mental Health Foundation

"Derek Edwards is considered to be one of the finest comedy talents in North America. "Derek Edwards doesn't go for one-liners with quick, witty punch lines. Instead, he creates humor as if, to use a bad food metaphor, he's making a pizza, using a situation from life to create the dough topped with layers of tantalizing ingredients. A simple topic like camping turns into a full course meal when observations about hangovers and buying tents are added. Edwards is the kind of guy who could read the nutritional content off a cereal box and have you in tears." Winnipeg Free Press
