MEET THE COMEDIANS
Big Daddy Tazz turns mundane events into side-splitting stories! He is the act that has no act. His quick wit, improv style, crowd interaction, clean show and amazing stage presence bring audiences to their knees in laughter and to their feet with applause and adulation, with no two shows being the same.
His amazing stand-up comedy shows have been featured on Just for Laughs, the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival, CBC’s “The Debaters” and the Comedy Network. Tazz once set a record for the longest stand-up comedy show at 8 1⁄2 hours as a fundraiser for one of the many charities he supports.
After thirty years of denying he had the mental illnesses that were controlling his life, Tazz realized that being a manic-depressive, attention deficit, socially-anxious, obsessive-compulsive dyslexic could either destroy or enhance his life: the choice was his. Today, audiences are happy to join him on his rapid cycle ride down the road to recovery that has led him from the psych ward at the Calgary Foothills Hospital to speaking engagements across North America.
Shawn Cuthand is Nehiyaw (Cree) and Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk) living on Treaty 6 Territory in Saskatoon, SK. He is currently part of the satirical news group “The Feather” which released a series for APTN Lumi this year called “The Feather News” He also has a passion for stand-up comedy and performs all over the prairie provinces. In Saskatoon he co-produces an open mic comedy show with Danny Knight called Full Metal Comedy and they also produced a local YXE Fringe show three years in a row with this past year being awarded best local show. Currently he is working on some scripts while also pursuing acting and comedy.
