Events Description
BRENT BUTT was born and raised in the small farming community of Tisdale, Saskatchewan (population 3000). As the youngest of seven children, one does what one can to be noticed, and at an early age Brent discovered that being funny was a good way to get and hold people’s attention. When he was 12 he watched a stand-up comic on television and immediately told his mother that he was going to become a comedian. Not fully understanding what he was talking
about, she said, “Go ahead”.
Brent honed his comedic storytelling prowess at the local coffee shop, where he and his friends would sit around – literally for hours at a time – discussing everything from world-domination to the most comfortable kind of socks. Brent insists, “Coffee shop conversation was a great way to learn comedy. It’s relaxed and conversational and the jokes build naturally without forcing them.”
In high school Brent performed stand-up comedy at variety nights and drama nights. When he was 20 a comedy club opened up in nearby Saskatoon, and Brent moved to the city to pursue a career in humour. He moved through the ranks incredibly quickly, and within four months of his first amateur night appearance, he was offered a tour on the road. After a year he was headlining in Toronto, and after only 4 years, he was showcased in his own gala performance at the
world’s largest international comedy festival – Montreal’s JUST FOR LAUGHS.
Opening act Dean Jenkinson has appeared on CTV’s Comedy Now, CBC’s Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and The Royal Canadian Air Farce. He was a writer for CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes for 15 seasons, and has written for numerous Just For Laughs specials, creating material for such acts as The Muppets, Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman, and cast members from The Big Bang Theory. Dean’s a frequent guest on CBC Radio’s The Debaters, and regularly performs at community and corporate events across Canada.
