Award Winning Stand Up Comedian - Top Canadian Corporate Entertainers & Funny Event Host

Canadian Corporate comedian, Brent Butt is an award-winning standup comic & entertainer, who is best known as the producer, main actor and screen writer of Corner Gas, a sitcom on CTV sitcom. Born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, Brent Butt discovered early that being funny was a good way to get attention. Brent honed his comedy in school and at the age of 20 moved to the city to pursue a career in stand-up. Within months he was headlining top clubs in Toronto, and within a couple years he was touring internationally and appearing at major festivals. Brent Butt is an audience favourite because he brings a similar style of humour to his onstage performances. Much like the Brent Butt Tour, an evening with Brent Butt involves him getting to know the corporate audience and their industry before his act, so that he can bring appropriate humour to the audience with clean jokes and stories that everyone can relate to.

Testimonials

There are many talented celebrities you could hire to perform at your event. In Brent Butt, we found someone who went above and beyond his contractual obligations as a performer to make us feel like our cause mattered. Brent’s comedic talents naturally endeared him to the people who paid to attend our sold-out gala, but it was his professionalism in working to promote our event that helped make him a wonderful ambassador for our organization. Simply put, one of the best experiences working with talent I’ve ever had.
