A
most versatile performer. Clean enough for day-time TV, Billy
Mitchell can
also handle the toughest crowds and the strangest situations. He's
custom-written material for gastroenterologists, oenophiles and
software publishers, amused the American Trade Consulate and upset
the US Air Force. Billy Mitchell has appeared on national television, radio,
stage, and the internet. Quick witted and well-read, Billy can adapt
to almost any circumstance and create fresh original material. International Comedian Billy Mitchell is the only
Canadian Comedian to have ever performed in Cambodia, entertaining
UN Peacekeepers from around the world. He's also appeared at the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and featured at Comedy Clubs all over Canada.
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:
-
Combat ordnance
adapted for the construction industry,
-
Electronic mind
control for employees,
-
Quantum
and relativistic effects in accounting,
-
Generating
electricity from human workers’ movement,
-
"The Seven Chakras
of Sales."
-
And much,
much more.
Billy takes the time to develop custom-written presentations
tailored to your group. He’ll incorporate the jargon and style that
make him believable, and the pay-off is hearty belly-laughs.
Testimonials
“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.”

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
“hilarious”. 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.”
