John became a Stand-Up Comedian soon after his birth and has performed Stand Up Comedy in every Comedy Club in Canada that has asked him to perform.

"Damn Funny " by Tristan Brand the editor of the alternative art blog indyish.com,
"Abrasive Gold" by the Montreal Hour and

David Acer is a Gemini-award-nominated writer and comedian who has done crazy things on television shows around the world, like protesting outside a train station dressed as a giant penny while inviting people to lie down on the tracks to "see how it feels." And limping to the couch for a talkshow interview with a Denver Boot on his leg because he had "a few unpaid j-walking tickets."

He has had his own special on The Comedy Network and appeared on a multitude of international specials, not to mention live at The Riviera in Las Vegas, The Magic Castle in Hollywood, and 10 times at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal.
