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 six times. In 2013 he filmed a gala set for HBO at the festival where he received a standing-ovation at the city’s 3,500 seat Place des Arts. This led to an invitation to perform at this past year’s Nasty Show at JFL. GQ Magazine’s Comedy Editor reported that: “Montreal-comic Derek Seguin stole one of the most star-studded gala shows last year from host Whitney Cummings. At the 2014 Just for Laughs, he appeared in The Nasty Show and proceeded to steal that too. A true star and Montreal’s pride and joy.”

Derek’s other televised appearances include performances at the CBC Winnipeg and Halifax festivals, The Newfoundland Comedy Festival, the Grand Rire du Quebec’s Comedie Club series as well as the Just for Laughs Comedy Special, “Oh Canada!”. He has also appeared on CBC Radio’s, “The Debaters” more than twenty-five times and recorded two episodes of CBC television’s, “The Debaters”.

Undeniably one of Canada’s hottest comedians, he has been touring clubs and theatres across North America intensely for the past few years and his debut concert album “Newfie Octopus” is a bestseller on CD Baby and on iTunes.

Most recently, Derek walked away with the top prize at the 2015 Sirius XM’s Canada’s Top Comic competition; a contest that spanned the entire country with finalists from every major city. He ended up the winner of the title of Top Comic, the 15 000$ top prize, a guaranteed TV spot at the Just for Laughs Festival and his own one-man show at JFL42 in Toronto in 2016.
