Damonde was hailed in the Globe & Mail as “Comedy’s new super hero.” He is the only Canadian to win the Seattle International Comedy Competition in its thirty-three year history. He’s had comedy specials on multiple networks and The Seattle Times says “He has the rare gift to command the audiences attention merely by talking.” It’s like getting to hangout with the funny guy in the kitchen at a party. According to folklore he once struck out former Heavyweight boxer Gerry Cooney on three straight pitches.
