PREVIOUS SHOW COMMENTS AND REVIEWS:
“Saw Ire & Ice in Edmonton, Fabulously done!!” (Barb W, Edmonton)
“I love your adventurous spirit and the unique immersive experience you offer at your shows. We will be back! My (11 year old) daughter enjoyed it though it was a bit past her bedtime by the time we finally got back home (to the USA), It was lovely! I really appreciated the way you travel with an open heart and mind relating to the cultures you meet. You managed to relate with locals with a goofy flair and it was refreshing to see. Looking forward to seeing your Norway show!” (Tana Kaiser, Bellingham USA)
“Thank you for an entertaining and inspiring evening at KPU. What I appreciated most about your show was your love for the people who inhabit the places you visit. It seems to me that this is the real jewel of your experience – connecting with others and sharing the joy of being alive in this beautiful world. Your shows are an antidote to the pain we hear about in the news, and a reminder that there are good people everywhere. We need a lot more Wil-liams in the world! Thank-you for spreading kindness, tolerance, playfulness and respect. With warm appreciation (Janice Titleborn, Langley)

“I enjoyed your Ire & Ice show so much, fantastic. You have such amazing journeys and your photography is breathtaking. Your audience had such a good time, lots of laughs and applause. So so nice that your new and I am sure lifelong friend flew across the world to see you and support you. So fun to watch his reaction when he saw himself on the big screen” (Barbara Graf, Mount Vernon, USA)
“Just wanted you to know how much your Show is appreciated! You are so flexible and incredible that you managed to turn a crowded space into such a positive experience for people.

“What a great show, so many funny moments mixed in with amazing stills & drone footage!!!! Love your sense of humor so much and would recommend to anyone who loves to travel or are looking for a very entertaining evening. Well done sir, well done!! ” (Alfred Steinborn, Edmonton)
“I thoroughly enjoyed your Ire and Ice presentation in Vancouver, highlighting how you really connect positively with the locals as you travel, to the extent that some of them follow you to Vancouver! I do think that Icelandic saying should be “the raisin at the end of the hot spring” (instead of “hot dog”) because after spending too long in an Icelandic hot pool, one can look like a raisin.: (Jennifer Lamb, Vancouver)

We reminisced about the first show we saw at the Ridge, plus others downtown & at Langara, and think this is your best show yet! Appreciate all the time you put in and of course your wonderful talents of photography and storytelling! We had a fantastic time. God, you are crazy brave with those heights.
