"Canada's Top Comic"... Sirius XM

"Undeniably, One of Canada's Hottest Comedians"... CBC

Derek Seguin is one of the most sought after stand-up comedians on the international circuit. He has performed at the prestigious invitation-only Just for Laughs festival an impressive 11 times as well as appearing numerous times at every other major festival in the country, making several television appearances along the way.

At a past Just for Laughs festiva, GQ Magazine's Comedy Editor reported about JFL that: "Montreal-comic Derek Seguin stole one of the most star-studded gala shows last year from host Whitney Cummings. This year, he appeared in The Nasty Show and proceeded to steal that too. A true star and Montreal's pride and joy."

The Montreal Gazette enthused that: "Derek Seguin earned a standing ovation for his set during the ninth Just for Laughs gala...had me gasping for air, I was laughing so hard at the detailing of his second date with his Newfoundland girlfriend...What made it great, however, was not the boldness of his material but that he described it all in such childlike wonder. Brilliant." He has also appeared on CBC Radio's "The Debaters" more than forty times and is one of the show's fan favourites. Undeniably one of Canada's hottest comedians, he fittingly walked away with the top prize of Sirius XM's Canada's Top Comic competition a few years ago; a contest that spanned the entire country with finalists from every major city.

In March 2021, it was announced that Derek's latest album, PanDerek - 1st Wave had been nominated for a Juno award. Yet another milestone in an illustrious and hilarious career. Whether he's ragging on politics or describing life with his children, he brings us into his perspective without preaching any selfish point of view. His undeniable charm makes him simply fun to watch and listen to and is in large part why he is one of Canada's most "in demand" comedians. The quintessential performer, Derek is a stand-up comedian, actor, host, narrator, voice actor and most importantly, father of 3 beautiful children...and all this in both English and French (especially the "papa" part). A consummate professional, Derek is at home on stage in a comedy club, conference centre, theatre, arena, school or arts centre. He tailors his sets for all audiences and can work clean or filthy. There is no evening that won't be livened up by the addition of Derek's natural charm, honed comedic genius and warm, witty banter.
