Forty years of funny.
Glen Foster has been performing stand up comedy for over four decades. He didn't just work the road, he's one of the guys who built it. In fact, this past November, he celebrated the fortieth anniversary of his first Canadian comedy tour with a special show in Winnipeg almost forty years to the day of his first show in that city, the kick off date for the original tour, in 1982!

"That Canadian Guy"
Glen appeared in his first one hour comedy special, "That Canadian Guy" in 2000. The title was a reference to a joke he did in the show about how people would not remembe his name, (but would instead remember "That Canadian Guy" )ince then, the moniker has stuck. Many of his fans don't even know his actual name, but they do know one thing: "That Canadian Guy" is one of the funniest comedians anywhere.
Glen's comedy appeals to those who appreciate a more intelligent, but slightly "edgy" brand of humour. His material is mostly clean and always clever, topical and timely, reflecting his own experiences as well as current events and popular culture.
Glen has had two one hour Comedy Network special and has also performed on numerous other television shows including EIGHT appearances with CBC's "Just for Laughs", as well as "The Winnipeg Comedy Festival", "Halifax Comedy Festival", and "The Mike Bullard Show". He can also be heard frequently on CBC Radio's "The Debaters".
Glen has released two DVDs and four full length concert CDs, His most recent is "Unchecked".
