One of Canada’s top comedians will have the audience laughing at The Windsor Tavern in Vankleek Hill on Saturday, August 2.
Derek Seguin is performing at The Windsor’s Ribs & Giggles Comedy night. The smoked ribs meal is being prepared by Chef Michel “Pox” Paquette.
Montréal-based 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 11 times as well as appearing numerous times at every other major festival in the country, making several television appearances along the way.
At a past Just for Laughs festival, GQ Magazine’s Comedy Editor reported about JFL that: “Montréal-comic Derek Seguin stole one of the most star-studded gala shows last year from host Whitney Cummings. This year, he appeared in The Nasty Show and proceeded to steal that too. A true star and Montréal’s pride and joy.”
The Montreal Gazette enthused that: “Derek Seguin earned a standing ovation for his set during the ninth Just for Laughs gala … had me gasping for air, I was laughing so hard at the detailing of his second date with his Newfoundland girlfriend. … What made it great, however, was not the boldness of his material but that he described it all in such childlike wonder. Brilliant.”
He has also appeared on CBC Radio’s, “The Debaters” more than fifty times and is one of the show’s fan favourites.
Undeniably one of Canada’s hottest comedians, he fittingly walked away with the top prize of Sirius XM’s Canada’s Top Comic competition a few years ago; a contest that spanned the entire country with finalists from every major city.
In March 2021, it was announced that the album, “PanDerek – 1st Wave” had been nominated for a Juno award. This past March, he was nominated yet again for the comedy album of the year at the Junos for “Life of Leisure”.
Whether he’s ragging on politics or describing life with his children, Seguin brings his perspective without preaching any selfish point of view. His undeniable charm makes him simply fun to watch and listen to and is in large part why he is one of Canada’s most “in demand” comedians.
The show at The Windsor Tavern on August 2 is for an adult, age 18 and older audience only.
Tickets are $50 per person and available at The Windsor Tavern.
