Derek Seguin (born 1972) is a Canadian stand-up comedian.[1] Of mixed French Canadian and Irish descent,[1] he is best known for comedy which plays on the cultural differences between English Canada and French Canada,[2] which he performs in an intentionally exaggerated stereotype of a Québécois accent.[3]
Comedy careeredit
He is a regular performer at comedy festivals across Canada, including Just for Laughs and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival,[4] appears regularly on the CBC Radio comedy series The Debaters,[3] and appeared with Sebastien Bourgault in the comedy web series Language Police in 2013.[3]
In 2008, he collaborated with Mike Ward and Maxim Martin on "French Comedy Bastards", a touring show which brought Quebec-style comedy — a style which blends stand-up and sketch elements more freely than is typical in English Canada — to anglophone audiences.[5]
Awardsedit
In October 2015, Seguin won the 6th annual Canadian Top Comic competition, presented by SiriusXM Canada in association with the Just For Laughs festival.[6]
