"This year’s master of ceremony, Canadian Derek Scott, is a real scoop. . .he brings forth rolling laughter. . . his contact to the audience is both mocking and caring...Scott had made himself familiar with Denmark before the assignment in Aarhus: (Danish men are number 1 sperm donor in the world). After a new laughter trip, Derek turned up the heat again with an interactive clapping act that ended in a hilarious version of An der schonen blauen Donau.”
Karsten Bjorno: Stiftstidende, Arhus Denmark
“If you want to know what is funny, . . .watch him!

"What makes Derek Scott’s performance different from those of most other performers is that he gives of himself in each performance"
Chronicle-Telegraph
"A good juggler or magician can, for a moment at least, unravel assumptions about the laws of nature. He can open a window on something deeper than mere trickery or dexterity -- the belief that any feat is possible. Derek Scott isn’t like that."
