Glen Foster


That Canadian Guy


About Glen Foster

Glen Foster has been a headliner on the Canadian comedy circuit for over fifteen years. He has also performed in The United States, Great Britain and Australia. He has a unique blend of clever, observational humour, and an ability to entertain a wide variety of audiences. Glen recently starred in his own Comedy Network Special, “That Canadian Guy”, and has appeared on numerous other television shows including CBC’s “Comics”, “Just for Laughs”, “Open Mike” and “Comedy at Club 54”. He has also written for a number of television shows, and has even provided humourous political commentary for CTV’s “W-Five”.

A former advertising “creative guy”, Glen typifies the middle-aged, middle-class, middle-management guy who’s struggling desperately to keep pace with an ever changing world. Beneath his quiet, reserved exterior, there is frustration, confusion and even anger. Fortunately in Glen’s case, his angst doesn’t manifest itself in a shooting spree, but in some of the most clever, imaginative comedy anywhere. Glen’s act is not just a string of one-liners, but an intricate, interwoven pattern of humorous and often thought-provoking ideas and observations. His delivery alternates between laid back, low key musing and sudden explosive ranting. He’s topical, political, and occasionally even “politically incorrect”. Most of all though, he’s just very funny.
