Just wrapped up work on my 3rd consecutive Just for Laughs Festival (fourth lifetime) and I feel pretty good about it. Sure I would have loved to do a Gala and smoked it as much as my buddy Steve Patterson did, about whom Steve Martin said, "If I'd know this guy was going to be that good, I would have cancelled him." WOW!
And sure, I would have really liked to take part in the French side of the festival but those things are what "next year" is all about.
I hope some of you got to see some of the shows and that you'll continue to support and encourage me and live comedy in general.
Cheers to everyone have a great second half of summer!
Love,
Derek

First of all, Happy New Year everybody. I wish only good things to all you Web Surfers that find yourselves here on my site.
On a proffessionnal note, I am hoping 2010 brings big things. Hope to make my first major forrays into comedy in the UK and New York, hope to land the 3 major fests in Canada (JFL, Winnipeg and Halifax) and would love to land a good aprt in either a movie or a play.
Other than that, can't wait to spend lots of time with the kids and the new girlfirend (Angela - She's smokin hot and the greatest girl I've ever had the pleasure of spending time with... come to a show. I'll tell you all about her "dirty side") and generally try to keep pushing my career to sustain my family ever better.
Check in soon. Planning to add more fun stuff to the site over the coming weeks as I am at home the whole month of January.
Much love,
Derek

March 25th, 09 - Salut la gang! Tomorrow I'll be playing in my home town and neighborhood. It won't be a corporate set and there is a risk of some dirtyness but will be a hoot. Come by and see me at Scotyz on Taschereau in Brossard at 8:30 on Thursday, March 26th.
I am also working on my corporate comedy package at the moment. As a corporate comedian, I try to always deliver a certain amount of custom material for the clients' event. If you have a corporate event coming up and would like some entertainment, please see my contact section for corporate comedy booking contact information.
Don't forget to sign up for the mailing list. I'l be working on the blog application so you can leave your two cents in the public section any time you pop in.
Here's my fun thing to share this month. It's this David Blain spoof they've made on Funny or Die. Here's one of them:

Check out the whole series. THey're hilarious.
Oh, and if you like me on CBC's The Debaters, here's a little sample:
