Who is Justin Shaw?
Justin Shaw is a comedian and storyteller originally from Cardigan, Prince Edward Island (and if you're also from Cardigan, his dad probably knows your dad.)
Fusing comedy and storytelling, Shaw has toured his solo shows across Canada, as well crafting comedy plays for Feast Dinner Theatres.
Development of his solo work was documented on his TV series Tales From Island Boy on Bell FibeTV1.
He has appeared on Just For Laughs Toronto, Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out comedy show, has opened for Harland Williams, Fortune Feimster, and tours regularly with Yuk Yuks across Ontario.
He is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada (Acting 2017) and proud alumnus of Vagabond Productions from the University of Prince Edward Island.
Shaw's debut comedy album Human Money showcases his down-home yet outrageous sense of humour, and can be heard on Just For Laughs Canada on Sirius XM.
Solo Shows
a Creature is Stirring
2024 Blyth Festival
2024 Live @ The Centre
A CREATURE IS STIRRING is a painfully true story written and performed by Justin Shaw. This comedy is about a Maritimer’s first Christmas on the mainland, and the boiling pressures of dealing with a rodent problem in his apartment. It’s Mousehunt meets Dave Cooks The Turkey (and if you get that reference - this is the show for you!)
"It’s all funny. And as funny as it is heartfelt, this is also a polished, masterfully-told performance from a clearly talented storyteller." - Beyond James
"We identified. We laughed. We gasped and we were shown the true meaning of Christm-ish. The show has tremendous heart and vulnerability too with an end message about believing that touched me deeply. How impressive that comedy like Shaw’s has this ability." - Steel City Girl Reviews
Solo Shows
the 70 Mile
Yard Sale
2024 Charlottetown Festival
Inspired by Prince Edward Island's 70 Mile Coastal Yard Sale, comedian and storyteller Justin Shaw shares a story about a madcap journey across Prince Edward Island to retrieve a lost family heirloom. Equal parts funny and heartfelt, this tall tale is about family, friendship, and finding more than what you bargained for.
"Justin Shaw brings a friendly, energetic style of storytelling to his performance. He never misses a beat, and yet never seems to go too quickly either. He delivers wit and humour... and has the audience laughing every time. Watching him perform feels like sitting down with a long-time friend, swapping stories over lunch or dinner." - Beyond James

Comedy
Yuk Yuks & Laughs on Tap
Justin Shaw tours across Canada with Yuk Yuks playings at different clubs and theatres. Shaw is also the show runner of Laughs on Tap at Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. in Dundas , Ontario - a comedy series that consistently sells out and delivers top quality entertainment at a fair price.
"... an undeniably effective laugh machine."
- Sean McQuaid, The Buzz
"really fantastic to work with - professional, diligent, flexible and really collaborative. Oh … and funny too."
- Colleen Smith, CEO St. Catharines First Ontario Performing Arts Centre
