One of Canada’s fastest rising, most “in-demand” comedic voices, Derek Seguin is taking his one-man standup comedy show, Derek Seguin 43.0 on the road again. The national tour kicks off in Cape Breton at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre on March 22 and runs until June.
Derek Seguin 43.0 delves deep into the challenges of being a single dad in his forties while living in an ever-changing and an all too supercilious world. His Québecois flare and original point of view will make you think, make you re-evaluate, and above all will have you howling with laughter.
Undeniably one of Canada’s hottest comedians, he has been touring clubs and theatres across North America intensely for the past few years and his debut concert album “Newfie Octopus” is a bestseller on CD Baby and on iTunes. Whether he’s ragging on politics or describing life with his children, he brings us into his perspective without preaching any selfish point of view. His undeniable charm makes him simply fun to watch and listen to.
Based in Montreal, Seguin is one of the most sought-after standup comedians on the international circuit. He has performed at every major festival across Canada, including the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival. With many television credits to his name, one may best recognize his voice from his numerous appearances on CBC Radio’s, “The Debaters” where he has performed close to thirty times and has appeared on two episodes of the show on CBC Television. In 2015, he won Sirius XM’s Canada’s Top Comic competition; a contest that spanned the entire country with finalists from every major city. A consummate professional, Seguin is at home on stage in a comedy club, conference centre, theatre, arena, school or arts centre. He tailors his sets for all audiences and can work clean or filthy.
Tickets are $32.50 (including tax and applicable service charge) and available online at hubcapboxoffice.com. Intended for a mature audience, showtime is 7:30pm.
