In addition to winning the title of SiriusXM’s Top Comic, which was broadcast live on SiriusXM’s Canada Laughs channel 168, Seguin took home the $15,000 grand prize. He will also perform at his own JFL42 2016 headliner show and receive a televised performance at Just For Laughs Montreal 2016.”

“As part of the runners-up prizes, Matt Billon of Vancouver and Jordan Welwood of Winnipeg, will also perform at a televised Just For Laughs Montreal 2016 show and be teamed up to headline a show as part of JFL42 2016.

Harland Williams, the quirky Toronto-born comic who has appeared in Dumb & Dumber and There’s Something About Mary, closed out the finale to an uproarious crowd.
