A Bit About Me
Hi, Iām Syd, a stand-up comic and comedic storyteller originally hailing from Vancouver, now calling Comox, BC my home.
I regularly headline and tour with "Jokers Canada" and "Hot Flash Comedy." You might have also heard me on CBCās āThe Debatersā, "Just for Laughs" and "Laugh Out Loud." Over the years, I've had the pleasure of opening for amazing comedians like Maria Bamford, Debra DiGiovanni, Simon King, and Julie Kim. My album dropped Oct 1/24, āThanks for Swinging Byā.
My most recentā¦and coolest accolade, is that I performed in the Winnipeg Comedy Festival Gala showcase. It will be on TV this Fall.
In Jan 2025, I came in first in BCās Yuk Yukās competition. I beat out 60 comics ā¦. and I am the first woman to have won the Yuk Off!
In 2018, I was thrilled to place first and be voted Fan Favourite in the āBCās Funniest New Female Comicā competition. The following year, I was a finalist in the āGreat Canadian Yuk Offā and placed 2nd out of 65 comics in the āFunniest Person with a Day Jobā competition. Most recently, in 2023, I was honored to be voted āBest of the Festā at the Nanaimo Fringe Festival and received 4 Yeses on āCanadaās Got Talentā.
I love bringing laughter into peopleās lives, and Iām grateful for every gig, every laugh, and every moment on stage. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see you at a show soon!
I believe that laughing together can be the greatest medicine you could ask for, even in the toughest times.
As a breast cancer survivor and the partner of someone living with dementia, Iām deeply passionate about supporting people with similar struggles through comedy, and driving awareness for organizations looking to make a difference.
Get in touch if you think I can do some good for your next event.
