SUMMARY:Brent Butt
DESCRIPTION:Born in Tisdale\, Saskatchewan\, Brent Butt discovered early that being funny was a good way to get attention. Brent honed his comedy in school and at the age of 20 moved to the city to pursue a career in stand-up. Within months\, he was headlining top clubs in Toronto\, and within a couple of years he was touring internationally and appearing at major festivals. \n\n\n\nHis television specials quickly secured his reputation as one of the funniest people in the country\, but he was also busy creating his own TV series – a sitcom called CORNER GAS. It became an instant hit with unprecedented ratings and numerous accolades including an International Emmy Award nomination and was named “Funniest Show on TV” by TV Guide readers. Canada’s favourite comedy is now shown in over 26 countries including the US. The series finale became “the highest-rated on record for a Canadian scripted series since it began keeping track in 1994.” Brent’s follow-up series HICCUPS ran for two seasons. \n\n\n\nIn 2013 Brent was honoured with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to community and country. That same year Brent’s first feature film entitled NO CLUE and directed by Carl Bessai was released. Brent wrote\, starred in and produced the film under his Sparrow Media banner. The highly anticipated feature film return to Dog River with CORNER GAS: THE MOVIE saw the entire beloved cast reunited to the delight of rabid fans and new fans alike and the movie would go on to receive a special Golden Screen Award at the 2016 Canadian Screen Awards. Re-imagined by creator and star Brent Butt\, an all-new animated version of the iconic comedy franchise entitled CORNER GAS: ANIMATED debuted in 2018. The animated series immediately became the #1 rated show in the history of Canada’s The Comedy Network and a popular main stay on streamer CRAVE TV. So successful in fact\, the animated series is now also streaming in the United States on Amazon’s free streaming service IMDB TV and a French language version has been launched. Brent and the series have won multiple Canadian Screen Awards and Leo Awards including Best Animated Program\, Best Performance and Best Animation Writing so far. \n\n\n\nThe fourth and final season of CORNER GAS: ANIMATED is now available. Most recently\, Brent’s first novel HUGE debuted to great fanfare\, immediately becoming the #1 Fiction Bestseller in Canada and it remains on the Top Ten list to date. With Brent performing\, writing\, executive producing\, and even directing\, there is little doubt that the future holds many untold achievements for one of Canada’s brightest stars. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSkye Plowman has been no stranger to stages in Yellowknife since 2013\, and has been a featured comic at the Snowcastle\, the Arctic Comedy Festival\, and The Ever Late Show\, and has recorded with Just for Laughs Originals and CBC’s Laugh Out Loud. She is also a well-known MC\, lending her talents to Folk On the Rocks\, NWT Pride\, and Boolesque (as Rex Holmes). When not holding a microphone\, Skye is a bartender\, which is just standup comedy\, but with more audience participation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Highly inappropriate yet astutely clever and deeply hilarious SKYE’S HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA TEACHER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:
