[COMEDY] Jeremy Hotz stands (giggling) somewhere between Jerry Seinfeld and Louis C.K., with more humility and improvisational chops. He often uses audience members or the city he’s performing in as a theme. Hailing from Ottawa, Canada, the two-time Gemini Award winner began his career as a writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. A regular at comedy clubs like the Laugh Factory and the Improv, he’s also appeared on Comedy Central Presents, Just For Laughs, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, as well as starring CBC’s outlandish comedy series, The Newsroom, amongst other motion pictures. His comedic style is marked by his sharp-witted bewilderment of everyday life. His delivery is characteristically accompanied by a hand-over-mouth gesture, as he attempts to stifle his laughter. His tendency to laugh on stage is less Jimmy Fallon – “Debbie Downer” and “Cowbell” – and more Hotz as an observational comedian who can’t help but laugh over the absurdity of someone posting a “Lost Pet” sign for their bird. Catch Jeremy Hotz at Helium Comedy Club starting at 8pm on Thursday, March 5 through Saturday, March 8 (7:30pm and 10pm shows Friday and Saturday).
