He can also be spotted in the film Shooting Goldman as the Comedy Club host. He also appeared in the drama A Place To Call Home.
Excellent stand-up comedian in the classic sense. He has impeccable timing, and nothing rattles him. - Viking Cruises
Sanders has a relaxed and confident style that allows the audience to forget that his jokes are scripted as they flow naturally with fast-paced delivery and complete relevance. - Glam Adelaide
It was an hour of solid gags; he hardly used any time filling stuff like talking to the audience, even though he's an expert at that, too. There was no way anyone left disappointed at that show. - Sidney Critic
