2026 Valentines Day Line Up
Derek Seguin (Headliner)
Montreal-based Derek Seguin is one of the most sought after stand-up comedians on the international circuit. He has performed at the prestigious invitation-only Just For Laughs festival an impressive ten times as well as appearing numerous times at every other major festival in the country, making several television appearances along the way. The Montreal Gazette enthused that: "Derek Seguin earned a standing ovation for his set during the ninth Just for Laughs gala … had me gasping for air, I was laughing so hard at the detailing of his second date with his Newfoundland girlfriend. ...What made it great, however, was not the boldness of his material but that he described it all in such childlike wonder. Brilliant." He has appeared on CBC's The Debaters more than 30 times and is one of the show's fan favourites. Undeniably one of Canada's hottest comedians, he fittingly walked away with the top prize of SiriusXM Canada's Top Comic competition in 2015.
