Trevor Boris has come a long way from the farm he grew up on near Winnipeg, MB. He is one of the stars of MuchMusic’s hit shows Video on Trial and Stars Gone Wild, has starred in numerous standup specials including One Night Standup on LOGO, and Comedy NOW on CTV, and recently appeared on Season 5 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing making the Finals of Canada.
I’ve been extremely lucky to be honest and been able to do lots of cool things in comedy like the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, Winnipeg Comedy Festival, St.John’s Exit Realty Comedy Fest, the Moncton Hup Cap Comedy Festival, the Edmonton Comedy Festival, and YYC Calgary Comedy Festival. I recorded a comedy special for CTV and the Comedy Network a few years back that still airs on your television. I say I’ve been lucky because even though I’ve worked hard, so have other comedians. Any time you get booked anywhere it simply means the people doing the booking enjoy your stuff. It doesn’t mean you’re the greatest comedian in the universe it just means those bookers would like to have you coming to their festival, event, or show.
Maybe the thing I’m proudest of was the time I spent on Canada Reads defending the incredible book February by Lisa Moore. It’s as nervous as I’ve ever been but was also an incredible sense of accomplishment when the book was chosen to be the winner. I was pretty serious on the show because I wanted to show people that comedians aren’t always what you think we are. Comedians are often deep thinkers and they question the world around them on a daily basis. We are not always “on.” Quite often that gear is reserved for our own shows and quite frankly makes us far more bearable.
