With a career as a comedian that spans nearly four decades, Simon Rakoff knows the meaning of dedication and love of the craft. He’s seriously funny. And funny when he’s serious. There’s very little he hasn’t done in his voluminous career. He’s one of the original innovators of Canadian Stand Up Comedy and was doing it long before there were designated clubs for comics. Having worked in television, film, appeared in countless stand up festivals, he’s known as one of the truly great veteran comics and he’s still going strong. His curve ball style comedy points out the absurdities of life while making hilarious statements about the meaning, or lack of meaning, of it all. Simon doesn’t just have a passion for comedy; it’s how he thinks. It’s how he feels. It’s who he is.
