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 "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, “Thanks for Swinging By”.
In 2018, I was thrilled to place first and be voted Fan Favourite in the “BC’s Funniest New Female Comic” competition. The following year, I was a finalist in the “Great Canadian Yuk Off” and placed 2nd out of 65 comics in the “Funniest Person with a Day Job” competition. Most recently, in 2023, I was honored to be voted “Best of the Fest” at the Nanaimo Fringe Festival and received 4 Yeses on “Canada’s Got Talent”.
My newest and coolest accolade, is coming in first in BC’s Yuk Yuk’s competition. I beat out 60 comics and am the first woman to have won the Yuk Off!
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.
