Loved chatting with Kerry today! Way too hard to summarize our random talking points, so I guess you'll just have to listen to the entire chat 😛

Kerry has been acting and improvising around Toronto for over 20 years.  After training at the famed Second City, Kerry went on to be a cofounder of improv troupe Slap Happy which has performed at festivals across North America and even a couple in Europe.    He was also a founding member of the Bad Dog Theatre company which opened its doors in 2003, and remains a mainstay of the Toronto improv Community.

In 2008 Kerry returned to the Second City, joining its mainstage cast where he wrote and performed in two award winning revues, Barack to the Future and 0% Down, 100% Screwed. Since 2011 he has also directed 5 mainstage revues at the Second City as well.

Currently, Kerry regularly performs at the award winning improv talk show, Monkey Toast  and he pops up on improv stages all over Toronto, often with one of many troupes including The Coincidence Men, and even occasionally still with Slap Happy!

Besides making stuff up, Kerry is also an accomplished actor having appeared in television shows like Baroness Von Sketch (CBC), Schitt's Creek (CBC), The Expanse (Amazon Prime)  Designated Survivor (ABC), The Beaverton (CTV), Murdoch Mysteries (CBC), Max And Shred (YTV), Degrassi: The Next Generation (CBC), Connor Undercover (Family Channel), Covert Affairs (USA), Mayday (Discovery) and Cracked (CBC).  He has also been seen or heard in over 100 television and radio commercials, perhaps most recognized as ‘the Diamond Shreddies guy’ ,‘the insurance guy’ or 'that guy from that commercial'.

Kerry has won 10 Canadian Comedy Awards over the years, twice being named Best Male Improviser, and winning for Best Improv Troupe four times with both Slap Happy and Monkey Toast, as well as winning for Best Comedic Play and Best Sketch Troupe with the Second City.
