Guy Nantel
Guy Nantel is a comedian from Canada who primarily performs in Quebec. He is known for making humorous observations on political and social conditions, and he offers insight into everyday things in a funny way. He can be provocative and has sometimes incurred the wrath of those who do not align with his views.
Nevertheless, Nantel has believed in staying true to his vision. Nantel has also performed in France and is known to make witty videos, which have a combined view of over 15 million.
Nantel got his funny bone from his father, who, despite being a taxi driver, tried his hand at writing comedy scripts for television and radio in the 1960s. Although he was not very successful, Nantel later said that he used to go through his father's scripts and dreamt of becoming a writer and comedian himself one day.
Rise as a Stand-Up Comedian and Comedy Writer
Nantel fell in love with entertainment when he joined the local theater group. He also auditioned for "Just for Laughs Mondays," and although he did not crack it, he decided to keep trying. He promised himself that one day he would perform at the Saint-Denis Theater.
Nantel continued to work on his stand-up routines. In the meantime, he started his television program titled "Humor Behind the Scenes.” Aired on their community channel, Nantel wrote for them and provided sketches. He also co-directs the episodes and interviews with other comedians. He used it as a learning ground to learn as much as possible about comedy.
Nantel started performing regularly in the local bars and clubs. Some of them were in very poor condition and often did not pay him well, but he used to be deterred by external factors. In the middle of it all, he also tried his hand at making documentaries, which were well-received. This brought him job offers from Radio-Canada and National Film Board. He became quite an expert in multi-tasking, accepting offers for directing two films and writing for his first solo comedy show.
Nantel slowly started getting the popularity he deserved and was invited to be a part of comedy festivals, private events, and corporate shows. He achieved his dream of performing at the Saint-Denis Theater when he was invited to perform at the Just for Laughs Galas. He also received the Newcomer of the Year Award.
Watching Guy Nantel live will leave you in splits as he engages the audience with his wit and charm.
