Derek Edwards is considered to be one of the finest comedy talents in North America. ... Edwards is the kind of guy who could read the nutritional content off a cereal box and have you in tears." - Winnipeg Free Press
Derek is awesome and it is clear his career is going places. His dry sense of humor, exceptional wit and abilities to keep the crowd splitting their sides made for one heck of an evening. I introduced him as the next Jim Carrey that was an understatement, hes better! - Ontario Marina Association
