PREMIUM COMEDY returns to the Soo with another fantastic night of Stand Up this time starring the incredible DEREK SEGUIN.
Montreal-based Derek Seguin is one of the most sought after stand up comedians on the international circuit. He has performed at the prestigious invitation-only Just For Laughs festival an impressive 11 times as well as appearing numerous times at every other major festival in the country, making several television appearances along the way.
At a past Just for Laughs festival, GQ Magazine’s Comedy Editor reported about JFL that: “Montreal-comic Derek Seguin stole one of the most star-studded gala shows last year from host Whitney Cummings. This year, he appeared in The Nasty Show and proceeded to steal that too. A true star and Montreal’s pride and joy.”
The Montreal Gazette enthused that: “Derek Seguin earned a standing ovation for his set during the ninth Just for Laughs gala … had me gasping for air, I was laughing so hard at the detailing of his second date with his Newfoundland girlfriend. … What made it great, however, was not the boldness of his material but that he described it all in such childlike wonder. Brilliant.”
Whether he’s poking fun at politics or sharing experiences with his children, he offers us insight into his viewpoint without imposing a self-centered stance. His captivating personality makes him enjoyable to watch and listen to, which is a significant reason why he ranks among Canada’s most sought-after comedians. A true professional, Derek feels at home performing in a variety of venues, including comedy clubs, conference centers, theaters, arenas, schools, or arts venues. He customizes his performances for all types of audiences and can adapt to clean or risqué material. No event would fail to be energized by the inclusion of Derek’s inherent charm, polished comedic talent, and friendly, clever repartee.
Featuring KRIS BONAPARTE.
