Brent Butt

Brent Butt is the creator, star, and executive producer of Corner Gas, the most successful Canadian sitcom in history. With over a million viewers each week for the last five seasons, the show has become a staple of Canadian television and has won countless Canadian Comedy, Gemini, and Writers Guild of Canada awards.

Yet long before he created Corner Gas for CTV, Butt developed a unique brand of stand-up humour and garnered a legion of devoted fans. His style, which he refers to as “coffee shop humour,” is conversational, relaxed, and very funny. “My friends and I used to sit in the local coffee shop, literally for hours, just talking. We would discuss everything from world domination to the best kind of socks,” Butt says. “That’s what I try to recapture onstage, that easy style. The jokes naturally build and multiply in that situation. You don’t have to force them.”

Brent Butt is a stand-up comic for all occasions. His act is clean, inoffensive, and positive. He is a natural whose firm sense of the ridiculous in everyday life generates a performance that is as hilarious as it is memorable. A huge draw every time he performs, Brent Butt is guaranteed to fill the house and, moreover, bring it down.
