Experience of Victor J Hanson
Started out as a serious guitarist… serious?, yea right! – Always finding more satisfaction in making the audience laugh as opposed to putting a serious song across. Victor J started playing lead guitar in a band that performed in the Country Music scene, opening shows for Country Music acts such as Tim Taylor & Anita Perras, The Family Brown, Marty Robbins, & The Oak Ridge Boys… Adding humour to every show, much to the chagrin of other band members.
After a couple years on the road he decided to hone his comedy further. He came back to Toronto and sold his 1976 Malibu to help pay for acting lessons that included The Second City Improv. Always using his musical talent to enhance his comedy, Victor formed his Musical Comedy duo Men Without Hairs, with a CD release appropriately called “Laugh.” Victor says it’s a million seller… “Yea, I got a million in my cellar!”), and later, another duo, this time of hilarious Comedic Improv proportions called, The Pudgy Boys! Both acts have performed across Canada & the U.S., including Caesar’s Palace, in Las Vegas. (Victor, how do you come up with the names for your acts? – “Simple, I just look into the mirror.” Victor J. Hanson has also worked with – Burton Cummings, Kids In The Hall, Robert Vaughn, Roch Voisine, Dini Petty, George Fox, Robin Leach, Red Green, and Valdy just to name a few.
Performance Style of Victor J Hanson
Victor J. has combined Clean Comedy, Celebrity Impressions Song Lampoons, Zany Characters, and lots of well-placed Audience Participation to create a High-Energy, Interactive, One-Man Many Talents Comedy/Variety show. His show is always good-natured, clean fun and humour, and Victor J. seems to be having as much fun as the audiences he performs for. Everyone leaves at the end of the night having had many good belly laughs. Victor J. recently commented: “At the end of a show one of the nicest complements I get is – My Face Hurts from Laughing so much!!! …And that’s a Good Thing.”
Victor J., during the course of a typical roller coaster evening of fast-paced entertainment, does celebrity impressions (who else could do Jack Nicholson calling his cat and have the audience absolutely convulsed with laughter!), and treats us to comedy routines by his alter-egos: flamenco guitarist, Jose PorFavor; Shamus, the Newfoundland fisherman; Garth Baldy (hero to all the follicle-ly challenged men without hair); and anyone and anything else that pops into his mind. But what sets Victor J apart from other comedians and what he is the absolute master of is his quick-witted, thinking-on-the-spot comedy and improvisation.
