Fraser Young is a stand-up comedian with a style all his own. Although he started out in Toronto, he has headlined clubs as far away as Hong Kong, and is now based in New York City.
After winning awards for his creative and fresh approach to comedy, Fraser soon made several national television and radio appearances, including an episode of “Comedy NOW!”, his own comedy special, broadcast on CTV and The Comedy Network in Canada. In 2005, he became one of the breakout stars of MuchMusic’s very popular “Video On Trial”, leading to higher exposure and national recognition. In addition, Fraser’s comedy is highly requested and played on Sirius XM Satellite Radio.
Fraser has also broken into the world of writing for television. He was one of two writers for the 2008 NHL Awards, and has written for shows like “Producing Parker” (Breakthrough Entertainment), “Dino Dan” (Sinking Ship Productions), and “Naked Fashion” (Cineflix Media, UK). He has also written multiple episodes of (and appeared on-camera for) “The Latest Buzz” (Decode Entertainment).
In 2006, Fraser released his first comedy CD “Everyone Loves A Smug Bastard”, and was invited to the Just For Laughs festival as the only Canadian in the New Faces showcase, featuring the top breakout talent from around the world.
Not your standard setup-punchline comedian, his act involves mixing unique observations into his eccentric, anecdotal comedy. With his distinctive voice, stage presence, and clever outlook, Fraser Young is a comedian you will not soon forget.
