Profile
Born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, Brent Butt discovered early that being funny was a good way to get attention. Brent honed his comedy in school and at the age of 20 moved to the city to pursue a career in stand-up. Within months he was headlining top clubs in Toronto, and within a couple years he was touring internationally and appearing at major festivals.
His television specials quickly secured his reputation as one of the funniest people in the country, but he was also busy creating his own TV series - a sitcom called Corner Gas. It became an instant hit with unprecedented ratings and numerous accolades including an International Emmy Award nomination, and was named "Funniest Show on TV" by TV Guide readers.
Corner Gas went on to become Canada's #1 comedy, broadcast in over 26 countries including the US and airing for six seasons. Brent is currently working on a new series for CTV and The Comedy Network called Hiccups as well as his own comedy special and a feature film set for 2010.
Brent's style, which he refers to as "coffee shop humour", is comfortable and relaxed. "My friends and I used to sit in the local coffee shop, literally for hours, just talking. We would discuss everything from world domination to the best kind of socks." Butt says, "That's what I try to recapture onstage, that easy style. The jokes naturally build and multiply in that situation. You don't have to force them".
Brent Butt is a stand-up comic for all occasions. His act is clean, inoffensive and positive. He is a natural whose firm sense of the ridiculous in everyday life generates a performance that is as hilarious as it is memrable. A huge draw every time he performs, Brent Butt is guaranteed to fill the house and, moreover, bring it down.
Brent has won four Canadian Comedy Awards, for Best Male Stand-up, Best Male TV Performance and Best Writing - TV Series.
His past clients include Royal Bank, Scotia Bank, RCMP, Labatt's, Pacific Coast Savings, Labatt's Brier, Northwest Teachers Convention, Sask Wheat Pool and Molson Breweries.
