I have worked gigs with Country Legend Billy Ray Cyrus, Hair Rockers, Great White, Country Stars, Sawyer Brown, Juno award winners, Digging Roots and Canadian Rock Superstars Loverboy. I am capable of delivering clean family-corporate comedy to rated R material. I am often hired for my MC abilities & as an Indigenous Culture Teacher.

He really nailed that native humour; made it relatable and fun. His ability to read the room made everything feel even more connected. He blended his own style with our group!

Ron headlined our event and he knocked it out the park. He is definitely one of the best and our crowd couldn’t get enough. We definitely plan to have him back.

Mr. Morey thank you for the invitation to your establishment and the audience was definitely ready to have fun. Thank you for the fine meal and even enjoying the show with the rest of the crowd. I would love to come back for another night of laughter and fun. I have some great comics who could join me for my next visit.

November 26, 2024Amazing Storyteller & Presentation
Ron came to our university and provided nothing less than his full authentic self. He was naturally funny and his stories were engaging and meaningful. Not only were we learning Native American history, we were receiving bits of wisdom through each experience he recounted. Very honored to have had such a great presenter, teacher. and performer for our event.

Ron was super flexible and communicated very well with us. We had to reschedule a number of times and he was always nice and willing to come when we got it figured out. Our clients loved him and said they would like him to come back. They were super engaged the whole time and thanked him for his great presentations, games, and talks. Will book again!!
