Performing comedy that's minus the naughty words, cheap put downs and low-brow humour is no stretch for Denis.
In his 20 + years as a comedian, he's always been more comfortable with an act that works above the neck, not below the belt.. It's what his clients are more comfortable with, too – whether they're major corporations and organizations, small, rural groups, or educators ... and this wide variety of clients is happy to recommend - in writing - Denis’s comedy to you.
(Fluently bilingual, he's also comfortable performing in French).

An award-winning journalist and former radio reporter, Denis's work is still featured regularly on CBC National Radio and in the National Post.
It's these skills that earned him the position of head writer for several national awards shows, including the Geminis, which were hosted by Steve "Red Green" Smith.
He also developed and taught two college credit courses on script writing.
Together with wife, Nancy Payne, Denis created the successful CBC Radio satirical sketch series, Minivan World¸ which later became a stage play and earned rave reviews.
Indeed, it is Denis's ability to research his audiences and custom write material around them that has made his comedy a hit with lawyers to landscapers, public servants to farmers.
