Matt Day /BVH Custom Elements Information Sheet

MattDay.ca www.BarenVonHair.com

Hello,

Custom comedic elements engage audiences at a deeper level. As Dale Rempel points out, ‘research and relevance’ is the key. Our intent is to have good- natured fun with themes, organizational issues, people etc, within your organization. Please provide whatever information comes to mind easily as you read the questions. It might be more fun to do this document as a group. Thanks for your help. Enjoy the show.

“Matt gave an awesome performance! His research and relevance to IBAC was great! He did not take anything too far that would be embarrassing or rude. I would recommend Matt Day for any Corporate event.”

~ Dale Rempel, President, Insurance Brokers of Canada

Thanks, Matt
