Briane Nasimok
Canadian Comedy Award recipient Briane Nasimok has been telling stories from an early age—a talent he primarily used in those days to get out of trouble. When he was ten, Briane went to live theatre for the first time, which inspired him to pursue his dream. Unfortunately he had little success in acting in public school with roles lile A Boy, A Pirate and Policeman Number 2. Somehow this led to an unusual career: appearing in over 30 operas and nearly 300 performances, without uttering a word. He became “Canada’s Foremost Operatic Mute, the theme of his first one-person show. Briane went on to a career in stand-up comedy as one of the earliest featured performers at Yuk Yuks and appearances on “A Spectular Evening in Canada” and “Evening at the Improv”. As a television writer/producer he worked on shows ranging from Canadian Sesame Street to The Giller Prize, and was 9th runner-up in CTV’s Thrill of a Lifetime’s Male Beauty Pageant.
