Billy Mitchell
Specializing In Clean Humour For Corporate, Community, And Festival Shows, Billy Has Been Entertaining Audiences Across Canada And Internationally With His Versatile Stand-Up Comedy For More Than 2 Decades.
Experience of Billy Mitchell
Billy Mitchell performs both stand-up and improvisational comedy. He performs with the Vancouver Theatresports League and was nominated as best action for his role as John Barrymore in the production of I Hate Hamlet at the Vertigo Theatre. Billy has also written television sketch comedy for Funny Pages and produced comedy segments for CICaF Radio.
He is the only Canadian comedian to perform in Cambodia to entertain UN Peacekeepers. He’s also performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and many comedy clubs across Canada. He was the awards emcee in Hiccups on CTV and the Comedy Network as was the announcer and performer on the Brent Butt Comedy Special, also o CTV.
Billy has been an entertainer on cruise ships and at the Richmond Ozone, the celebration site for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. He is a regular columnist for BC Homes Magazine. He is well-read, highly versatile and can handle tough crowds and unusual situations. He is a clean comedian but can toss in a little off-color humour when it’s appropriate. He also adapts his material to fit the venue and situation.
Performance Style of Billy Mitchell
He’s customized performances for all types of groups from doctors to software publishers. He’s performed before the American Trade Consulate and the US Air Force. He writes sketches, game shows and corporate bafflegab presentations using PowerPoint. He does stand-up comedy, improv, and has characters that can deliver bogus presentations for corporate clients. This works well at an after-dinner keynote or tucked among real presenters at a conference to break up the event.
Why hire Billy Mitchell?
Billy has custom-written material for gastroenterologists, oenophiles and software publishers, amused the American Trade Consulate, and upset the US Air Force. Billy Mitchell also creates custom-written sketches, game-shows and corporate bafflegab presentations with PowerPoint accompaniment. He calls this “Corporate Fraud”. In addition to stand-up, acting and improvisation, Billy has developed a number of characters that deliver bogus presentations for corporate clients. Tucked amid the actual presentations at a conference or placed as a keynote speaker after dinner, these ersatz experts insinuate themselves as the real thing, complete with PowerPoint slide shows that seem real…at first.
Seamlessly blending fact and fiction, the illusion is complete – for a while – but the presentation gradually reveals its true nature as zany ideas creep in:
Billy takes the time to develop custom-written presentations tailored to your group. He will incorporate the jargon and style that make him believable, and the pay-off is hearty belly-laughs.
Works Well in this Type of Event: Private Events, Corporate Events, Cruise Lines, Comedy Festivals, Sports Events, Casino Events, Charity Events, Celebrity Speaking Events, Conventions, Emcee, and Trade Shows.

“Billy, your show was first rate. Everyone enjoyed it – evident by the amount of laughter you generated – and we were highly entertained without profanity. What a treat! Your performance brought our event to a perfect end. With my most sincere thanks and in the hope we’ll meet again.”
BC Potato Conference
“Billy, the feedback from my team was very positive. They really enjoyed your performance. Your punch lines and timing were spot on. We would not hesitate one moment in having you over again to perform in the future.”
Beckman Coulter Canada
“Billy; Just wanted to tell you how much everyone enjoyed your presentation on Wednesday night. It was definitely a “glasses-off, mop up the tears of laughter” night. I even made some points with my 20 year old on the week-end by telling him the organic dandelion farmer’s tale.”
Langley RCMP
“Billy, What a Great job you did last Night! You were a Big Hit! After the evening was all over we did a short ‘post mortem’. A concern I had was ‘did people want us to short circuit the comic and just get on with the draw?’ It was a resounding NO! Billy was great and it is an integral part of the evening.”
Hycroft Realty Limited
“You were excellent! Your various performances were the key to making the whole thing work as well as it did. Starting with your very funny skit at the “Godfather’s” dinner, followed by a great hosting job at the high school sock hop, then the “Good Morning Vietnam” role, and finishing with your outstanding performance as the host Phil Tyme at the Awards Ceremony, you never let us down.”
Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada
“He got unanimous rave reviews from everyone connected with the evening. He was “hilariousâ€. He was on-point. He was efficient. He kept the ceremony moving along without anyone feeling rushed. He was funny when it was appropriate, and thoughtful when needed. If your company is considering an awards presentation, or any other group function that could benefit from having a professional Master of Ceremonies, Billy is your answer. He was well prepared. He was hilarious. It was well worth the money.”
Timberline Software
“Congratulations, Billy! You were the star of our Annual Meeting. You were so convincing as a boring speaker pitching your product that many in our group even felt sorry for you! Thanks for customizing your comedy to our industry (not the easiest of material). We only had one chance to fool this group and you pulled it off flawlessly. Great job.”
