"BOB CATES' comedy act DEFINES variety." Toronto Sun

Mohammed Hosseini-Ara, DOWNSVIEW PUBLIC LIBRARY, NORTH YORK

I have to start by saying THANK-YOU! Your act was wonderful. You packed the place (and then some). Both the kids and the adults had an excellent time. I would gladly recommend your thrilling show to anyone that asks. The show was exciting, fast paced and humorous. Did I mention humorous. I honestly don't know how you do it. I was feeling winded after the 45 minutes of all out fun & mayhem, and I was only watching. The pre-show was also quite entertaining. It really got the attention of the crowd and focused them on the feat at hand. The two things that really stood out were the Chinese yo-yo act and the plate spinning. Wow, what a show. I should also mention that the level of audience participation was wonderful. It really made the crowd feel like they were a part of the show. Thanks again.

Blair McBurney, Children's Services Librarian, MISSISSAUGA CENTRAL LIBRARY

It was a delight for all who attended to see your juggling wizardry, especially the Chinese Yo-Yo. You have a very professional manner and a good rapport with the audience. I would not hesitate to recommend your show to others.

Roselyn Perovich, Library Supervisor, PORT CREDIT LIBRARY, MISSISSAUGA

The show was very professional and your enthusiasm is contagious! I will highly recommend you to others looking for a variety show.

Katherine A. Seredynska, Public Services Librarian, WATERLOO REGION LIBRARY

Comments I received included "excellent!," "great!" and "excellent rapport between entertainer and audience." Your enthusiasm was appreciated, as was your ability to do three shows in one day.

Jan Asing, Supervisor, Children's Department, GLEN ABBEY LIBRARY, OAKVILLE

I'm really glad we ended our March Break performances with the Comedy in Motion show - it was dynamic! Bob is a natural with children and uses the audience to his and their best advantage. His sense of humour is right on target and has wide appeal to all ages. Children in the audience said, "This is the best show of the week!" and "He's funnier than a clown!" The show is fast-paced and flows continuously without any stutters.

Susan Beattie, DUNDAS PUBLIC LIBRARY

Bob had total audience participation. His side splitting humour did not take away from his great skill as a juggler. Bob has to be seen to be appreciated - everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Susan C. Bullock, Children's Department, WOODSIDE BRANCH LIBRARY, OAKVILLE

Thank you for the excellent performance you gave us at Woodside branch Library. Your wacky sense of humour, exuberant manner, fancy juggling and exciting diabolo tricks entertained and captivated the entire audience.

Patti Kerr, Festival Coordinator & Kathy Reid, BRANT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION

The Art Soup Committee would like to thank you for the fabulous job you did as MC for our children’s presentations at the Sanderson Centre. Your patience, creativity, flexibility and ease with the various crowds were all very much appreciated. We have received wonderful feedback from students, staff, and parents present on Thursday. We even had to give the backstage crew a couple of nudges so they would continue their work between acts instead of watching you!
