SiriusXM Canada Searches For Canada’s Next Top Comic

siriusxm [1]SiriusXM Canada [1], the country’s leading audio entertainment company, today announced the launch of its fourth annual national comedy contest, the search for SiriusXM’s Next Top Comic [2]. This year, up-and-coming comics from across the country will vie for an opportunity to audition live in one of seven Canadian cities. The most talented will go on to compete for a chance to win one of eight spots in the lineup at the Just For Laughs JFL42 Comedy Festival in Toronto where the best performer will win a grand prize of $15,000 and the title of SiriusXM’s Next Top Comic.

“Canadian comics are extremely talented and work hard every day to refine their material and delivery while growing their base of fans,” said Ben Miner, Canadian comic and host of SiriusXM’s Canada Laughs channel. “This year, SiriusXM is taking its search for the Next Top Comic to the next level with an even better grand prize – a chance for eight up-and-comers to win an all-expenses paid trip to perform live at the Just For Laughs JFL42 Festival in Toronto. Canada’s comedy scene is thriving and SiriusXM is proud to support it by showcasing the very best through this annual contest and on our Canadian comedy channel, Canada Laughs.”

SiriusXM will kick-off a seven city tour starting on June 10 in Toronto. Auditions from the tour will be recorded for broadcast on SiriusXM Canada’s uncensored comedy channel, Canada Laughs (channel 168).
