"Scott knows how to put on a show. He improvises, imitates and clowns around, making people blush and laugh at themselves. What makes Derek Scott's performance different from those of most other perfromers is that he gives himself in each performance."

Chronicle-Telegraph

"...possibly one of the last couple of talented funny jugglers in the free world...Derek Scott proved,...that the only way to rev up something as old and tired as juggling is to take it all the way to the edge."

"Scott, a Canadian who's been almost everywhere else, juggled cigar boxes instead of balls and kept a running, dead-on political commentary ("O'Canada, our home and neighbor's land"). Physical comedy with a brain, just what this country needs."

Toronto Star

"At first the people who hired him considered him an ordinary clown. It didn't take long for them to realize this clown had a special affinity with his audience."

"Everybody loves him. People stop him on the street to thank him for his "show." They return to his spots again and again."

Chronicle-Telegraph

"Derek Scott, from Ontario, a solo juggler and musician, is another master at working his crowd and performance environment. He also 'throws away' his considerable skill to play the crowd, but there is more 'cat and mouse' with them. He combines warmth with a hard edge, easing his audience with feats he won't perform until he has driven them to distraction. They love him. His act, a perfect balance of rehearsal and improvisation, has direction and focus as he plays off everything in the environment to create a 'one time only, just for you' relationship with his audience.

Canadian Theatre Review

"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 a mere trickery or dexterity - the belief that any feat is possible.
Derek Scott isn't like that."

The Globe and Mail

"Truly a superb performance! A show not to be missed.

4BH Radio

TV10 Australia

"Derek Scott never had it so easy. In an impromptu and inspired piece of mimicy before the curtain even rose at the Juste Pour Rire/Just for Laughs Festival, Scott found the sort of fodder that most comedian's dreams are made of. There, seated before him, was an astounding array of famed politicial sorts, most of whom served as splendid butts for Scott's material."

The Montreal Gazette

"Derek Scott doesn't do much of anything except send his audience in to gales of laughter with unabashed humour."

Halifax Chronical Herald

"Derek Scott did another set featuring a kazoo. He had gone so well that he was back tonight on merit. He was sensational!"

Opusmagazine (United Kingdom)

". . . pulled off his act with perfection, but it was the shy, nervous, fumbling, sweaty-palmed performer who delighted the audiences."

Lethbridge Herald - Download File

"The most talented, off the cuff, and entertaining performer I have ever seen!"

CRMI Radio

"Derek is progressing nicely in the above areas, however at times he looks upon the activities as an opportunity to start clowning"
