Performing comedy that's minus the naughty words, cheap put downs and low-brow humour is no stretch for Denis.

In his 20 + years as a comedian, he's always been more comfortable with an act that works above the neck, not below the belt.. It's what his clients are more comfortable with, too - whether they're major corporations and organizations , small, rural groups , or educators .

(Fluently bilingual, he's also comfortable performing in French).

An award-winning journalist and former radio reporter, Denis's work is still featured regularly on CBC National Radio and in the National Post.

It's these skills that earned him the position of head writer for several national awards shows, including the Geminis, which were hosted by Steve "Red Green" Smith.

He also developed and taught two college credit courses on script writing.

Together with wife, Nancy Payne, Denis created the successful CBC Radio satirical sketch series, Minivan World¸ which later became a stage play and earned rave reviews.

Indeed, it is Denis's ability to research his audiences and custom write material around them that has made his comedy a hit with lawyers to landscapers, public servants to farmers.

No wonder the Ottawa Citizen called him a "smart and clever comic who respects an audience's intelligence."

No wonder Denis's comedy is seen frequently on the Comedy Network.

No wonder he's a hit with audiences of any size - whether it's the 150,000 people who saw him perform on Parliament Hill's Canada Day main stage, or those in the community centres he often performs in.      

No doubt he'll be a hit with your audience, too.
