We were amazed at how great your Stand Up For Mental Health presentation was. I heard our former Board chair say that this was "the most effective anti-stigma event she's ever seen"!! Lots of kudos! The comics you trained performed wonderfully, and were thrilled with their time on stage. We also had a great turnout, obviously there was a lot of interest in your program.

Thanks for an amazing keynote presentation. In 9 years of having our conference you are only the second speaker to get a standing ovation! You were funny, inspiring, and totally relevant to the work we do in behavioural health. The way you use comedy to empower people with mental health issues and to reduce stigma is amazing.

Your Stand Up For Mental Health was a huge hit at our conference! The prolonged standing ovation said it all. You were all hilarious, and the fact that you were able to train the comics in only 6-weeks via Skype is amazing. Afterwards people were raving about your show. What a great way to begin our conference on a high while also addressing some serious issues around mental health!

Your presentation at our AGM was hilarious and inspiring. The work you do teaching stand-up comedy to mental health consumers is remarkable, and hearing about it was a breath of fresh air.

Our guests really enjoyed the opportunity to laugh at themselves and the work we do and generally have some fun. I know it is tough, serious work at times and your gift of being able to find the humour is very uplifting. We need at times to find the humour, and joy even during the toughest times. Thank you for helping us do just that.

David was very nice and accommodating as we were running a bit ahead of schedule and he was ready and willing to start early and end at the same scheduled time, which really helped us and with our timeframe. I can certainly see why David has so many great testimonials and he lives up to all of them.
