Rural Audiences React Enthusiastically To A Brand Of Humour That’s Just As Likely To Be Inspired By A Classified Ad In A Small-Town Newspaper As By Headlines In The Globe And Mail.
Denis Grignon has more than 25 years as a comedian and always focuses on clean intelligent comedy that doesn’t include rude remarks. His comedy has been on CBC Radio and is also in French since he’s bilingual.
Denis wasn’t always a host or entertainer. He’s an award-winning journalist that has worked in both broadcast and print. His radio documentaries are featured on CBC and his feature articles were printed in The Toronto Star.
A native of rural Ontario, Denis is a good fit for agricultural audiences. He knows what it’s like to tend to hens and ducks and rural audiences like his brand of humour. Yet, his presentations are smart for corporations looking for an after-dinner speaker or an emcee to keep an event on track.
He can write customized material for his audiences based on research, which makes him a great emcee or featured entertainer. He’s comfortable working in small rural communities as well as at a major corporation gala. Denis has even performed for Canadian Forces stationed in Afghanistan.
A true crowd-pleaser for any audience, Grignon can make the CEO laugh as heartily as the woman who sells the best corn at that outdoor market. No doubt he’ll be a hit with your audience, too.
Denis’ presentations work well for both private and corporate events, clubs, festivals, charity events, conventions, cruises, casino shows, golf tournaments, and trade shows.
