Friday Night Comedy: Pete Zedlacher

Presented by Blake Brewhouse and Distillery

Pete Zedlacher is a 20+ year veteran of the comedy scene and one of the premiere headliners in the country. Proudly hailing from Wawa, a small mining town in Northern Ontario, he draws heavily from his Canadian working-class roots. A graduate of the prestigious American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York, the intensive acting program helped him infuse a theatrical element into his stand-up. Now based in Calgary, Zedlacher has a Canadian Comedy Award, four Canadian Comedy Award-nominations and two Gemini nominations to his credit. Most recently, he won the international comedy competition and was crowned Sirius XM’s Top Comic.

Zedlacher has become a recognizable face on Canadian television and radio. He regularly appears on CBC's The Debaters with over 20 debates to his credit. This spring, Zedlacher made his remarkable 10th appearance at the Ha!ifax ComedyFest which will air on CBC television in the new season. He is probably best known for his appearances at Just for Laughs in Montreal performing galas alongside Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Sir Patrick Stewart and the legendary Muppets. He’s also appeared at The Winnipeg Comedy Festival, JFL42 and toured with the Just For Laughs National Tour. Most recently, Pete became the 4th member of The Snowed in Comedy Tour.

A fan favourite within both the alternative and mainstream comedy club scene, Zedlacher has crossed the country from coast to coast to coast, every province, every territory, 15 US states and 19 countries worldwide.
