Reviews for ‘Momentous’:
” ★★★★★ From the minute Cam comes to the stage the laughs come thick and fast…not to be missed.” Theatrepeople 2017
“”There is never a silent moment in the audience as he dares to go where other comedians will not.
The thing I loved about Cam is that he’s real, his topics are real, his issues are real, his performance is real. He doesn’t do cheap humour and there was never a false laugh from the full crowd.” The Plus Ones
“he is the master of his stage…Cam Knight is an excellent night out” -pop culture-y 2017
“‘stand-up’ at its best and most laid-back…the show is fast and fun, real and ever-surprising. The (MICF) audience were hooked from the beginning: and as the show cruised along, the response got warmer, and laughter louder. Cam’s delivery is so natural and confident that ‘Momentous’ is a real audience-performer partnership-experience.” Weekend Notes 2017

Testimonials:
“Cam was a consummate professional, who was very easy to work with and very receptive to feedback.
Being MC for an event in a large room housing almost 700 people is no mean feat, but Cam controlled the room well, striking the right balance between formality and humour throughout the night.”

“I did my research at various comedy venues and Cam was everything I thought he would be. Funny for both men and women customers without being too over the top. Approachable, courteous, intelligent humble etc. etc. A perfect fit for what my company wishes to be assosciated with.”
Darrell
“There are very few comedians that you’ll see in your lifetime that can do what Cam Knight can. He is quick, witty and extremely funny. He has the crowd captivated from the second he steps on stage till the very end. Engaging the audience with interaction and the way he weaves the story and makes the audience part of the performance is genius.”
Todd
Cam was great, I had a great laugh and so did everyone. It was a difficult room to work being very long but he did a fantastic job and is a really lovely guy.
We loved having him at our dinner.
Please pass on our thanks.”
Jess
“We sometimes struggle having people mingling in and spending some time with each other at a work function. I don’t know if it happens at your workplace. Ours is a pretty healthy workplace, but we still have this issue. We decided to add some good old entertainment to the standard free food & drinks to our last EOFY function and had Cam Knight performed a half hour show for us. The choice couldn’t have been better. The numbers on the attendance list were up, staff kept asking one to another if others were going and when the day came, we had an exceptional turnout.
Cam sought directions about the content of the show in person and we all had a wonderful time. He nailed the audience and chose appropriate topics that would make us laugh. He had bothered to learn a little about us, which added a few jokes about ourselves. He entertained us not only with wonderful stories and good jokes, but with wonderful acting. Some of his poses and faces were hilarious. He also interacted nicely with the audience. All in all, a great success”
