About the Comedian

Montreal-based Derek Seguin is one of the most sought after stand up comedians on the international circuit. He has
performed at the prestigious invitation-only Just For Laughs
festival an impressive 11 times as well as appearing
numerous times at every other major festival in the country,
making several television appearances along the way.
At a past Just for Laughs festival, GQ Magazine’s Comedy
Editor reported about JFL that: “Montreal-comic Derek
Seguin stole one of the most star-studded gala shows last
year from host Whitney Cummings. This year, he appeared
in The Nasty Show and proceeded to steal that too. A true
star and Montreal's pride and joy.”
The Montreal Gazette enthused that: “Derek Seguin earned a standing ovation for his set during the ninth Just for Laughs gala … had me gasping for air, I was laughing so hard at the detailing of his second date with his Newfoundland girlfriend. ... What made it great, however, was not the boldness of his material but that he described it all in such childlike wonder. Brilliant.”
He has also appeared on CBC Radio’s, “The Debaters” more than forty times and is one of the show’s fan favourites. Undeniably one of Canada’s hottest comedians, he fittingly walked away with the top prize of Sirius XM’s Canada’s Top Comic competition a few years ago; a contest that spanned the entire country with finalists from every major city. In March 2021, it was announced that Derek’s latest Album, PanDerek - 1 st Wave had been nominated for a Juno award. Yet another milestone in an illustrious and hilarious career.
Whether he’s ragging on politics or describing life with his
children, he brings us into his perspective without preaching
any selfish point of view. His undeniable charm makes him
simply fun to watch and listen to and is in large part why he
is one of Canada’s most “in demand” comedians.
The quintessential performer, Derek is a stand-up comedian, actor, host, narrator, voice actor and most importantly, father of 3 beautiful children… and all this, in both English and French (especially the “papa” part).
A consummate professional, Derek is at home on stage in a
comedy club, conference centre, theatre, arena, school or
arts centre. He tailors his sets for all audiences and can work clean or filthy. There is no event that won’t be livened up by the addition of Derek’s natural charm, honed comedic genius and warm, witty banter. Audiences love him. Bookers love him. You will too.
