Brian Hope

Spelling mistakes frustrate him. The drinking and driving law amuses him. And you'll never look at a pack of matches again without thinking of him. Brian Hope will bring to his show high and low-brow humour and will intertwine them to a point of where it's a roller-coaster ride for the audience. Just when you think he's the cutest guy in the world (which he claims he is), he'll say something to completely take you off guard and look at him a different way.

Brian grew up in a military family–living in Montreal, Moose Jaw, Red Deer, Sacramento, Winnipeg, Ottawa and Toronto. He's worked overnight in a gas station, served Queen Elizabeth II for dinner, joined the military for 5 years and got fired at Harvey's during his first week of work. As you can see, he doesn't have to write much as his life has material written all over it. He brought his craft onstage to Ottawa in March 2000 to see if he had the “right stuff”. Started off on fire–and a wee bit tipsy. “I thought I would calm my nerves a bit by having a beer……let's just say I was REALLY calm by the time I got onstage.” His first time up was one that he will never remember, but heard was hilarious.

Brian has made audiences howl in Toronto, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Montreal, Buffalo, New York City–and we can't forget about Peterborough……and is only getting better by the day.
