Paul Ash

Paul Ash is that special kind of person who sees the best in everyone, except himself. His self loathing comedy is peppered with rural charm and big city cynicism. This “muppet king of comedy” has been described as the “encyclopaedia of funny” and has an over ten year relationship with the Festival Just For Laughs, the world’s largest stand-up comedy fest.

Originally from Nova Scotia, Ash moved to Toronto to pursue comedy, eventually settling in Montreal. After several years in Montreal he moved back to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and was instrumental creating the burgeoning comedy scene there, described during his tenure as “the comedy equivalent to Seattle’s music scene in the early ‘90s”. Ash helped to open the first full time comedy club that city had seen in nine years.

Ash placed third in the semi-finals of the Great Canadian Laugh Off 2007 and
tours regularly, catch him when he’s in your town. Ash has appeared in
several films and television shows (including the Trailer Park Boys);
he is a dynamic actor and talented comedian.
