Brian Stollery

Brian Stollery rarely waits more than a heartbeat before inviting his audiences to have a laugh at his expense.

Stollery has performed at festivals including the 'CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival and Global Comedyfest in Vancouver and he is the winner of XM Satellite Radio’s ‘Canada’s Next Top Comic!’ He is one of Canada’s most sought after corporate comedians!
