Testimonials
“Working with Renee was a joy! Renee had no problem meeting up several times before to go through the event showflow and ensure she would understand the schedule and the message we wanted to get across. For our event it was key some copy was said exactly as on the showflow, I was pleasantly surprised to notice Renee had nearly memorized all of the copy ensuring a strong message to the audience. We have already pegged her for our next events! ”
“We were looking for an emcee to host a Gala + Art Auction fundraiser for a Not for Profit. Typically, at these events, the main challenge is keeping the guests focused. Renee was absolutely perfect for the task. She motivated guests to bid on artworks by playfully reminding them of the purpose of the evening—to fundraise. Renee has an extremely impressive ability to retain information on the fly. On several occasions, Renee had to take new information and recite it on stage moments later. She did so perfectly and confidently. Renee was cheeky, playful, prompt, cheerful, and focused during our event and because of her work, I believe it was our best event yet.”
“The very entertaining and hilarious MCs for the night had the audience busting a gut. They were Renee Amber, improviser at the Loose Moose Theatre and Andrew Phung, the winner of the inaugural Fast Pitch event with Youth Central.”
“Renée Amber hosted a packed house event at Theatre Junction Grand on a very short notice and she did not disappoint. She arrived promptly and managed her way to the stage manager to go through the scripts and program in a timely fashion. She was extremely professional, super-efficient and incredibly crowd pleasing. I would highly recommend hiring Renée to host your event.”
“Renée was a dynamic and friendly emcee. She was easy to work with and ensured the event was organized, on-time and flowed well. Renée’s positive energy created a welcoming environment for our attendees and she was able to capture and convey the key messages of our organization. Would work with Renée again in a heartbeat!”
“We booked Andrew and his improv partner Renee to perform for us at our biannual update meeting for staff. Andrew and Renee found exactly the right balance of playful teasing of our municipal government ways and educating our staff on our key messages. The pair recalled all of the insider info we had fed them and weaved it into their skit seamlessly, and the audience really enjoyed the show. Thank you for making us look so good!”
“Thank you for your gracious performance...it was wonderful and effective.”
