Stand-Up Comedian

I am available for the following formats:

Standard set: 10-15 minutes

Feature: 30 to 45

MC: Hosting a show, 15 minutes at the start, 8 before the headliner. Announcing each at. Interacting with the crowd.

Booker must also hire at least 3 other comedians (ideally a show should have 1 feature, 2 middle acts, and an mc) If you need assistance finding other comedians to book, please contact me as I can assist)

Content: All content is uncensored. I will not censor any of my material for any reason. Booker must make this abundantly clear to the audience prior to admission. Material contains adult language and themes. However, my material does not punch down nor is it hateful toward any visible group.

Nick Peron is a neurodivergent stand-up comedian who has performed for over 15 years. Originally from Ottawa he now lives on Vancouver Island. He has also been banned in China. He has primarily performed in Eastern Canada and at legendary venues such as Absolute Comedy, Yuk Yuks, and the Comedy Nest.

His comedic stylings are described as dark and dirty touching on serious issues. He speaks candidly about the importance of promoting mental health and his own struggles with anxiety and depression.

He has opened for K. Trevor Wilson, Tyler Morrison, Derek Seguin, and the late Mike McDonald. He has performed at festivals such as Ottawa’s Cracking up the Capital Festival, and the Cumberland Woodstove Festival.

In addition to stand-up, Nick has written for such on-line publications such as (link hidden)ty and (link hidden). In the past he wrote for online horror sites (link hidden), (link hidden), and Destroy the Brain! He has appeared in the films Sexsquatch (2013), John Hill’s Welcome Wagon (2018), and Killer Cup 3-D (2019). He also co-wrote and edited the short documentary “Sex Life of Trees”

A stage that is elevated above the crowd. I should be able to make eye contact with people in the back rows of seating.

Booker must provide microphone, sound system, spotlight. Please ensure that the spotlight is not bright and not coloured (white light only).

Booker is also fully responsible for all promo and advertising including all costs associated.

Booker/Venue must also do assigned seating. The front row and the seats immediately behind *must* be filled to maximize audience engagements. Dead space in the audience kills comedy. If venue provides table service, all tables must be orientated so the audience can watch the show (no backs facing the stage)

The show (all acts performing combined) should not exceed 90 minutes as this is the peak time for audience attentiveness.

Booker should be mindful of disruptions during the show and have staff on hand to discourage loud table talk, heckling, or the use of cell phones during the show.

Booking includes fee *plus* expenses. Expenses must be paid in advance before date of travel. Expenses include travel, lodging, plus food and drink. If lodging and/or food and drink can be provided at the venue then this can be offered in leu of monetary compensation.
