TREVOR BURNETT

Trevor Burnett seized the opportunity to slow life down to a pandemic pause over the past year and added spoken word artist and poet to his performance arts resume. Born in Montreal and raised Torontonian, he was originally trained at the world famous Second City comedy empire and Montreal based TACcom Theatre a la Carte.
As a Comedy Coach with Stand Up for Student Well Being, Trevor has collaborated with schools from the TDSB, Halton and Peel Region as well as the private sector in an effort to teach kids how to use humour to turn their problems into punchlines through the creative writing process.   
In 2015, Trevor fused his experience with live performance and his background working in hospitality into The Incredible Project Co., a Food and Drink edu-tainment consulting agency that has made him known best for his love of showmanship, adventure and his innate sense of hospitality.

MELISSA REAVES

Melissa Reaves, a Seattle based storyteller, and proud mom of two kids and two adorable silver tabby cats. When she's not hitting live and virtual storytelling shows and stages, she coaches executives to be more captivating leaders by using storytelling to bolster their presence---and after that, then she's cooking up something in the kitchen that's also story-worthy. She adores the Pacific Northwest and all it has to offer and where her stories are spawned.

Melissa's story shares how her wise and playful mother taught her that holidays are delightful---and they can be honest. Not laced with parents lying to their kids. That was Melissa's plan to follow suit, and "Not lie to my kids" about Santa Clause, or the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy----until she realized that she could shit done if she did. That was the awesome deal with the devil....
