GLEN FOSTER
You may not know the name, but you probably know the face. Glen Foster, a.k.a. ''That Canadian Guy'' has been a headliner on the Canadian comedy circuit for over twenty years. He has performed on numerous television shows including his own comedy special, CBC' ''omics'' ''Comedy at Club 54'', and ''The Mike Bullard Show''. He has also made six appearances at ''Just for Laughs'', the Montreal International Comedy Festival, and is a popular entertainer at corporate functions as well. He has recorded two CDs and recently released his first concert DVD, entitled, ''Shot at The Empire''.
Glen Foster is quickly becoming a household name among comedy fans. Or perhaps more correctly, a household ''non-name'', since adopting the moniker ''That Canadian Guy'', ( a joke based on the idea that audiences have short attention spans and likely wouldn't remember his name.)
A veteran of the Canadian comedy club scene, Glen has been a popular headliner for over twenty years. He has been invited six times to the Montreal International Comedy Festival, and has performed in The United States, Great Britain, Australia and on some of the oceans in between.
Glen's material is topical and timely, reflecting both current events and popular culture. His versatility, combined with his ability to relate to a wide variety of audiences, have made him much in demand as an entertainer at corporate functions throughout North America and around the world.
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's comedy special ''That Canadian Guy'' struck a chord with Canadians for his hilarious, but dead on portrayal of the conflicted Canadian psyche. It resulted in a flood of congratulatory e-mail along the lines of, ''I couldn't remember your name, but I remembered ''That Canadian Guy.''
In addition to the special, Glen has also appeared on numerous other television shows including CBC's ''Comics'', ''Just for Laughs'' and ''The Mike Bullard Show. He has produced two comedy CDs, and recently released his first full-length concert DVD entitled ''Shot at The Empire''.
