Born and raised in Thornhill, Ontario,
Dave Hemstad was once an Academic All-American golfer with a promising future on the fairways — until a lightning strike literally changed the course of his life. Swapping birdies for belly laughs, Dave has spent the last 20 years touring the globe with his signature brand of clean, razor-sharp comedy that brilliantly finds humor in the everyday moments we all experience.
A true triple threat as a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor, Dave has become one of Canada’s most respected comedic voices. He’s appeared at some of the country’s top comedy festivals including Just For Laughs, the Halifax Comedy Festival, and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, while also starring in his own
Comedy Now! special.
Fans across Canada also know Dave as a beloved regular on CBC Radio’s
The Debaters, where his quick wit and polished storytelling have made him a standout favorite. Behind the scenes, Dave has built an impressive writing career, contributing to shows such as
Still Standing and the Canadian Screen Awards hosted by Norm Macdonald.
On screen, Dave’s acting credits include appearances in
Almost Heroes and CBS Sports’
Off The Hozzle, further showcasing his versatility as a performer.
When he’s not touring stages across North America, Dave co-hosts the hit podcast
