This high energy performance comedian draws heavily from his working class roots; Pete Zedlacher mixes New York cool with northern Canadian wackiness.
Born and raised in the northern Ontario town of Wawa, Pete moved to New York City after graduation to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. The intensive acting program helped him infuse a theatrical element into his act. Working exclusively in theatre around New York, he began performing at the famed William Redfield Theater in an Off-Broadway Production. Following this successful run, Pete found his way back to his homeland.
Landing in Toronto, he threw himself into the stand-up comedy circuit with much success and has quickly become one of the top headlining comics in the country as evidenced by his 2006 Canadian Comedy Award for best male stand-up. Touring Canada from coast to coast Pete is a fan favourite within both the alternative and mainstream comedy club scene. He has appeared on his own episode of Comedy NOW! for CTV/The Comedy Network, which recently in repeats received the 2nd highest ratings in the history of the show. Last summer Pete made his fifth appearance at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal starring in his own gala performance.
Pete has made numerous film television appearances, including the upcoming ABC series Copper, CBC's The Sean Cullen Show and Little Mosque On The Prairie, Puppets Who Kill, CTV's Sue Thomas F.B.Eye, and Degrassi: The Next Generation. His film credits include American Pie Presents: "The Naked Mile", and George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead.
Pete has released DVD entitled Pete Zedlacher: The Humourist which can be purchased through his website at www.zedlacher.com.
Considered one of Canada's premiere club comics, selling out across the country, Pete is a force of nature when it comes to stand-up comedy.
