Dave Hemstad
|
Born and raised in Thornhill, Ontario, Dave Hemstad was an Academic All-American golfer who was struck by lightning during a tournament…which significantly altered his career path!
Dave has spent the last 20 years performing stand-up comedy around the world and is highly sought after for his particular brand of clean humour, dissecting our day-to-day lives with a razor sharp wit that is oh-so-relatable. Dave has taped numerous gala sets at Just For Laughs, the Halifax Comedy Festival, and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, as well as recording his own Comedy Now! special. His two comedy albums “Comedy Dumptruck” and “Dad Intentions” are available on iTunes and Spotify. Dave is a regular and favourite guest on CBC’s The Debaters, won a Canadian Screen Award for writing on CBC’s Still Standing and he wrote for the 2016 Canadian Screen Awards hosted by the late Norm Macdonald. |
