Rick Currie
Writer/Comedian/Terrible Golfer

Hey it's me, Rick!
All the way from Greenbank Road!

In over 30 years as a stand up comedian, Rick Currie has earned a reputation as one of the country’s most popular and consistently hilarious performers. His whimsical and sometimes musical act stands out as an example of excellent writing and timing.


His work has been featured on CTV, SiriusXM, CBC Television and CBC Radio. Rick has also taken the stage at major festivals including Just for Laughs, Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and Halifax Comedy Festival.


Rick’s writing credits span some of Canada’s biggest broadcasts, including The Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Canadian Country Music Awards, six national CBC New Year’s Eve specials, and the Canada 150 celebrations live from Parliament Hill.


For eight seasons, Rick was a staff writer on CBC’s Rick Mercer Report, where he collected three Canadian Screen Awards. He continues to collaborate with the Rick Mercer team on select projects, most recently the 2025 “Stand Up for Canada” national theatre tour.

This will be the 5th Giller Prize presentation Rick's worked on.

So it's kinda true to say that it's become a Canadian tradition for the greatest writers in the nation to gather once a year to hear samples of Rick's writing.
