About your headliner

Marc Trinidad may have been born and raised on the twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago, but the Caribbean island paradise could not contain his talent and aspirations for long. After being exposed to theatre and sketch comedy on his native island, a craving for international exposure began. Marc packed his bags and headed to the great white north to sharpen his stand up comedy sabre.

In the twenty years since making that jump, he's worked the stage with some of the best in the business, the legendary Kenny Robinson, social media sensation Majah Hype, The Daily Show's Gina Yashere, living legend Dave Chappelle and the unconquerable Chris Rock are names that will ring a bell. He's created history as the first Canadian to have appeared on BET ComicView, was featured on the Comedy Network, Now Magazine rated him as 'One to watch', voted Best Comic 'Soul'd Out Comedy Festival, winner of the Brantford Comedy Festival 2019 and is in rotation at Sirius XM. Not satisfied with wowing crowds across Canada, he's toured the Netherlands, the UK, the US and the Caribbean. Armed with a versatile and wide ranging repertoire, new fans are routinely shocked by his unique island man swagger with razor sharp Canadian wit and timing.
