Terry performs stand-up comedy all over the world. He has been everywhere from the deserts of the Middle East to the Alert Station at the North Pole, performing in every situation imaginable. He has shared the stage of the 3000+ seat Hummingbird Centre with Stephen Wright, played to a packed house at Massey Hall, and has performed to the Canadian, German, Dutch, and American Forces in Military hangers at various "undisclosed" locations, as well as hundreds of Corporations. Wherever he is and whomever he is standing in front of, he can make them laugh. It's no surprise he won the title of Best Comic for Central Canada at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.


He has been nominated for Canadian Comedy Awards both as a writer/performer for his stand-up and as a television director. The Toronto Star recently marked Terry as "notably wittier than his contemporaries" and added "McGurrin will be among the key players in Canadian show business well into the 2000's". The Ottawa Citizen said he possessed "enough talent and energy to fill a dozen comedy shows" and NOW Magazine said Terry's act has "the kind of jokes that stay with you for days and have you laughing at the bus stop".


Frank stepped on stage for the first time as a stand-up comic. He didn't tell many people about it and there were just a few select friends in the audience. He was on stage for only five minutes, but those five minutes told everyone in the room that this guy truly had something special. He continued working amateur and open mic nights in Toronto, constantly building his material and starting to create a buzz. In less than a year he would perform in his first professional spot. Soon he was headlining at the top comedy clubs in Toronto and then taking his act to many other cities across Canada.

Frank credits his natural ability to two people: his maternal grandmother, Mama Teresa, who was quite the jokester and extremely quick-witted, and his paternal grandfather, Papa Cheech, who was known for his story telling ability.

"Savage wit and spontaneous combustion combine into an explosive comedic barrage. This cat is fearless. In terms of any kind of act, he works without a net. He is so freewheeling, it's almost psychedelic." - Daryl Jung, NOW Magazine, Toronto
