Gavin Stephens

Tight material mixed with audience participation and improv.

Toronto based Comedian and writer, who’s been described as “Stan Lee meets Bill Hicks” by The Grid magazine. He’s filmed multiple one man specials for CTV and the comedy network, and recently preformed with Reggie Watts at #JFL42.

Not contented with just being the star of Canada’s biggest nerd friendly comedy night “NERDGASM”, Gavin was also the reader’s choice winner for best standup comedian from Now Magazine in 2010, and for five seasons was a leader actor and writer on the Gemini-nominated sketch show Comedy Inc. on CTV. A multi-media sensation, has appeared at international festivals like Montreal’s Just For Laughs and Austin’s SXSW with indie comedy legends Margaret Cho, Janeane Garofalo and Andy Kindler.

Proving that he’s not just a mouth, Gavin is the writer of a blog on the salaciously geeky (link hidden) and (link hidden), where he writes a Toronto Star’s reader’s choice winning column What I’ve learned from buying plastic men. Described as “A disgruntled nerds view on the world”.

He has toured throughout Canada, England, the U.S. and South Africa as a highly sought headliner with his one-man multimedia solo show “Spectacular! Spectacular!” opening for international comedy superstar Russell Peters, and appears frequently to offer up his unique and ironic brand of comedy to geeks of every flavor at conferences, conventions, awards shows, and fundraisers.
