Nigel Grinstead

Nigel Grinstead’s laid back charm and absurd takes on life have earned him the reputation of being one of the most imaginative comics in Canada. He jumpstarted his career with consecutive victories in high-profile comedy competitions, most notably the Homegrown competition at Just For Laughs Festival. All of this momentum granted him the opportunity to perform in festivals all across the country. Nigel has taped three sets at Just For Laughs to air on The Comedy Network, as well as two sets for CBC Television at the Halifax Comedy Festival. He was also a two-time finalist in Sirius XM’s Top Comic competition and has performed at renowned venues such as Massey Hall and the Queen Elizabeth Theater.
