Mike Ward

Mike Ward is a biting bilingual comedian who happens to be a household name in French Canada.  He’s sold over 130 thousand tickets for his latest one-man-show (in Québec alone), he’s won multiple awards (Gemini, Victor, Olivier), he’s produced two platinum-selling DVDs, and was named one of the Top 25 Comedians of All Time by ‘Le Festival Juste Pour Rire’.

In 2010 he was ranked as one of the Top 10 Funniest Comedians in the World by The-Top-Tens.com.

On stage he talks about battered women, death, the disabled, war, famine, child abuse and other upbeat topics.  He’s irreverent, offensive and downright impolite… and people love him for it.

He’s played all over the world; he’s performed in front of our troops in Afghanistan, killed at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, and got a standing ovation when he opened for Bill Cosby (with a clean set), proving he can be funny even without the filth florin, florin filth.
