Rave Reviews About Steve Martin as a Speaker
Steve Martin came to Toronto for a moderated conversation, a career retrospective, and an audience Q&A. The event was sold out, with all of the 2,500 seats filled. It was a great evening; Steve was relaxed and talked about all parts of his long and illustrious career, much to the delight of the crowd. All in all, a great 90 or so minutes visiting with a comedy legend. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve; he is a pleasant and consummate professional, and he delivers.
