Derek Edwards

Derek Edwards’ award-winning humour has made him one of the most in-demand comics in Canada. Identifying himself with the ordinary working guy, his comedic gift is making the ordinary extraordinary. Selling out concert halls across Canada, Edwards can also be found many evenings entertaining at corporate events across North America.

A regular at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, where he was recently hailed as a “virtuoso at the peak of his performance,” Edward’s delivers his comedy with polished style and impeccable timing.

Edwards is the only Canadian winner of the prestigious Vail International Comedy Competition, is a two-time Gemini nominee, and has been nominated numerous times as “Best Standup Comic” at the Canadian Comedy Awards.

Edward’s numerous TV and radio credits include The New Red Green Show, The Debaters, Just For Laughs, Laugh Out Loud and CBC’s Comics. He is currently touring theatres with his new show, “Alls I’m Saying.”
