Glen Foster's unique blend of clever, observational humour, and his ability to entertain a wider variety of audiences have made him much in demand as an entertainer at corporate functions throughout North America and around the world.

A headliner on the Canadian comedy circuit for over twenty years, he has also performed in The United States, Great Britain and Australia. He has been invited six times to the Montreal International Comedy Festival, and starred in his own Comedy Network Special, That Canadian Guy, where his hilarious but dead-on portrayal of the conflicted Canadian psyche struck a cord with the nation. In addition, he has appeared on numerous other television shows including CBC's Comics, Just For Laughs, Open Mike and Comedy at Club 54. He has also written for a number of television shows, and has even provided humorous political commentary for CTV's W-Five. He has produced two comedy CDs, and recently released his first full-length concert DVD entitled, Shot at the Empire.

A former advertising executive, Glen typifies the middle-aged, middle-class, middle-management "average guy" who's struggling desperately to keep pace with an ever-changing world. Beneath his quiet, reserved exterior, there is frustration, confusion and angst. Glen channels this energy into some of the most clever, imaginative comedy anywhere.
