for some of biggest names in the corporate world. He has entertained for companies
like Glaxo Smith Kline, Hewlett Packard, BMO, Manulife Financial and hundreds more.

nights; Roman uses his comedy improv skills to team-build, brain storm and break
the ice. Roman gathers info about whichever company he is working for and trades

laughs. His message is team building and thinking outside the box and the result
is tons of fun.

"I just wanted to let you know that the conference was a big success and that Roman
was outstanding! The way he incorporated the information we had given him on the
company and various people within the company into the evening and his improv routines
was nothing short of amazing. The feedback from the gala was that it was without
a doubt, the best we have ever done and Roman was a big part of that." Jennifer

wit is second to none." Janet Ratzlaff, Office Manager, Agro Pacific

and captured the attention of the audience was fabulous. It was certainly apparent
that all those present had a terrific time and those who unwittingly became part
of his routines were made to feel at ease." Gavin Harvey, Events & Promotions Manager,

to put together a clean , humorous program that entertained all and offended none."
