A Bit About Me

Hi, I’m 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 CBC’s ā€œThe 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, ā€œThanks for Swinging Byā€.

My most recent…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 BC’s Yuk Yuk’s competition. I beat out 60 comics …. 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 ā€œBC’s Funniest New Female Comicā€ competition. The following year, I was a finalist in the ā€œGreat Canadian Yuk Offā€ and placed 2nd out of 65 comics in the ā€œFunniest Person with a Day Jobā€ competition. Most recently, in 2023, I was honored to be voted ā€œBest of the Festā€ at the Nanaimo Fringe Festival and received 4 Yeses on ā€œCanada’s Got Talentā€.

I love bringing laughter into people’s lives, and I’m 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, I’m deeply passionate about supporting people with similar struggles through comedy, and driving awareness for organizations looking to make a difference.
