PETER BROWN BIOGRAPHY
Peter Brown has always had one foot in two different worlds. By day, Peter Brown spent two decades as an award-winning radio host, celebrated for his intellectual curiosity, thorough research, and intelligent questions. By night, Peter Brown is a quick-witted comic improviser. As an Emcee, Peter Brown brings the best of both. An experienced producer, Peter Brown works closely with clients to get a clear sense of their goals. Peter Brown develops a sharp, clear script. When it comes time to deliver, Peter Brown is a master of reading the room. And his quick wit and inclusive humour keep things on track no matter what happens. In fact, his clients often say his spontaneous “saves” are highlights of their events.
Peter Brown career started after he studied at the University of Saskatchewan where he had the opportunity to do graduate work in English at the University of Cambridge. This involved long hours poring over 17th century manuscripts, and in his spare time doing comedy sketches. Those years led to both a Master’s Degree in Literature and a comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe that was featured on BBC Radio. After returning to Canada, Peter Brown became a producer and host for CBC. This is where his career took off as Peter Brown got to develop his skills on multiple platforms. Peter Brown got to interview Prime Ministers, premiers, scientists, artists, athletes, business leaders, and “ordinary” people doing remarkable things. Peter Brown worked hard to craft interviews that were well-researched, challenging and revealing. There were serious days too, and moments of grief and tragedy.
Peter Brown also had the opportunity to create moments of entertainment and fun. When former listeners talk to him now, they mention memorable moments of spontaneity and adaptability when conversations and interviews went off the rails or took an unexpected tangent. Peter Brown hosted CBC Edmonton’s afternoon radio show Radio Active, where his intelligence and humour won him a loyal audience. Peter Brown also hosted music and culture shows, and for seven seasons led the creative team on the award-winning comedy program The Irrelevant Show and is the only person to appear on both The Debaters and Ideas.
Peter Brown is most proud of heading the creative and production teams on The Irrelevant Show as it was a great combination of science and art. His job was to tune a complicated production machine in the service of some cleverly observed sketches and occasional goofy jokes. There was nothing more satisfying than turning a phone conversation in November into a fully-produced radio sketch that was heard across the country in January.
As a comedian, Peter Brown has written for many TV sketches and programs. Peter Brown regularly performs with Edmonton’s improvised comedy soap opera “Die Nasty” among other shows. That rare combination of skills makes him a sought-after Emcee, with clients who bring him back year after year. Peter Brown thrives on creating a strong, clear plan, and also shines if the plan ever falls apart: his quick-witted humour keeps events on track and creates memorable moments of fun and connection.
Peter Brown is no longer with CBC and has committed himself to Podcasting, Improv Shows, Playwriting, and Keynote Presentations and Hosting Conferences/Events. Peter Brown is passionate about bringing his skills and interests to any project, organization, or cause. Peter Brown excels in combining research and production skills with an element of performance. Peter Brown is an expert at adapting to challenging situations, being in the moment, and reacting spontaneously. A lot of it boils down to the same path: asking the right questions, developing a solid plan, executing the details, and making people laugh along the way.
