Host & Emcee
Roman's ability to keep a crowd laughing with the use of improvisational comedy was obvious. With some information about our company and our employees he was able to put together a clean , humorous program that entertained all and offended none.

–Lafarge Canada
Roman's Improvisation skills were second to none and the extent to which he involved 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.
–AT&T Canada
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.
–Stott Pilates
Roman Danylo was outstanding. His skills in getting the crowd involved and quick wit is second to none.
–Agro Pacific
Roman Danylo is the only speaker who does a stand-up routine, improv comedy and can emcee with the best of them, all in one package. The only complaint we have ever received about Roman is that he, unexpectedly, literally stole the show. Fabulous!
