comedy.

Festival, the Halifax Comedy Festival and she appears on CBC’s New Wave of
Stand Up. She writes for This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and her debut album, The

Noah Brodeur

Noah is an up and coming comedian hailing from the sheltered suburbs of Edmonton Alberta.  Noah's act has been described by audiences as "So dumb it's somehow smart" and "Really nailing the 'nerdy-guy' thing," both real things people have said to his face.
