He is the winner of a Canadian Comedy Awards, and the Phil Hartman Award for his stand up. Of his many TV appearances he has appeared 8 times at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, where he is a crowd favorite, as well as multiple appearences on CBC’s Halifax Comedy Festival, The Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and CBC’s The Debaters.

South of the boarder he has been seen on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, CBS’s The Late Late Show, and MTV’s Busted. A respected comedic actor, he was a series regular on FOX’s sitcom Life on a Stick, CW’s The LA Complex. He was the star and co-creater of the cult show Almost Heroes, now available on Hulu.
