Glen Foster

Founder of the Random Party of Canada. - Don't think, just vote! www.randomparty.ca

Glen Foster's unique blend of clever, observational humor has made him a headliner on the Canadian comedy circuit for over twenty years. He has adopted the moniker “That Canadian Guy”, a joke based on the idea that audiences have short attention spans and likely wouldn’t remember his name. He typifies the middle class, middle aged, “average guy” struggling to understand his role in an increasing complex and diverse society. Beneath his quiet, reserved exterior, there is frustration, confusion and angst - bursting forth in some of the most clever and inventive comedy anywhere.

Glen has starred in his own Comedy Network Special, “That Canadian Guy”,  which was nominated for a Gemini Award for best Canadian Comedy Special. He has also appeared on numerous other television shows including CBC's “Comics”, “The Mike Bullard Show”, “Get a Grip”, “An Evening at the Improv”, “Jongleurs Live”, “Comedy at Club 54” and “Just for Laughs”. He has also written for a number of television shows, and has even provided humorous political commentary for CTV's “W-Five”. He has also produced two comedy CDs and recently released his first full-length concert DVD entitled “Shot at The Empire”. Glen has made six appearances at Just For Laughs, the renowned Montreal International Comedy Festival and been invited to other comedy festivals around the world, including The Chicago Comedy Festival and “They Mayfest” in Glasgow, Scotland. He has performed in the U.S., Great Britain, Australia, the Carribean and on trans-Atlantic cruises.

Glen's act is not just a string of one-liners, but an intricate, interwoven pattern of humorous and often though-provoking ideas and observations. His delivery alternates between laid back, low key musing and sudden explosive ranting. He's topical, political, and occasionally even "politically incorrect". Most of all though, he's just very, very funny.
