Fun fact

He won Best Stand-up Newcomer at the 2005 Canadian Comedy Awards and the Homegrown Competition at Just for Laughs the following year — the two things a Canadian comic most wants on the shelf.

The verdict

Coach. Just Coach. Out of Oakville, Ontario, with a Canadian Comedy Award and a Just for Laughs Homegrown win behind him. A stand-up's stand-up who spends Letterkenny delivering dressing-room speeches that go somewhere no dressing-room speech has gone. Born, raised, five points.
