Toronto, ON February 4, 2007 – Canada is a land of funny people. Whether it is the experience of bitter cold winters and short summers or living above the most powerful nation in the world and feeling like the younger sibling seeking attention, we have cultivated an amazing community of incredible comedy talent.
From Wayne and Shuster to Jim Carey and beyond, Canadians have made and continue to make their comedy mark around the world. Most of the sitcoms produced in the U.S. in the past few years have at least one Canadian cast member including – Eric McCormack from Will & Grace, from Dave Foley News Radio and Matthew Perry from Friends. And that doesn’t include the impact Mike Myers, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Jim Carey, John Candy, Academy Award nominee Dan Aykroyd and others have made in the world of cinema.

As Canadians we soak up comedy like a sponge.
