2o12 FESTIVAL COMICS
Sean Cullen
Seán Cullen has been touring and performing as a comedian for the past 20 years. There are many things that make him unique in the comedy world. He combines stream of consciousness improv with uncanny mimicry and broad musical talents to create a style that is his and his alone.
As a member of Corky and The Juice Pigs, a seminal group on the Canadian scene that has influenced comedy performers as far away as Australia and the UK, Sean burst onto the scene in 1988. Over the next ten years, The Pigs toured the world becoming fixtures of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, winning awards at the Edinburgh Fringe and performing at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal eight times. The group was also featured on Fox's MAD TV and released two wide-selling comedy albums.
In 1998, after eleven years in the group, Sean set out on his own, defining his own solo style accompanied by the musical talents of musician Dylan Goodhue.
Sean has been featured in Time Magazine in the USA as the vanguard of comedy's next generation. He was a finalist in last season of NBC's The Last Comic Standing. and has appeared on shows such as The Ellen Show with Ellen DeGeneres, multiple times on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Late Show on CBS. Sean has many comedy specials under his belt including Comedy Central Presents... Seán Cullen, CTV/ The Comedy Network's Gemini nominated Seán Cullen's Wood, Cheese & Children!, CBC's COMICS! and his own special, SEÁN CULLEN's Home for Christmas.
Sean is a three time Gemini Award winner: in 2001 for his gala performance at Just for Laughs and in 2003 for hosting the 17th Annual Gemini Awards, and in 2006 for hosting What Were They Thinking. Some of Sean's other credits include feature films The Love Guru, Saint Ralph, Where the Truth Lies and Phil The Alien where he won a Canadian Comedy Award for best Male Performance in a Film, and he has starred in his own television series The Seán Cullen Show on the CBC.
