Bryan has filmed a Comedy Now for the Comedy Network, appeared on the Halifax & Winnipeg Comedy Festivals, was a finalist in the Great Canadian Laugh Off and has opened for legends like Gilbert Godfried, Harland Williams, Big Jay Oakerson and more! He’ll make you laugh and feel thinner all at once! Much of Hatt's act seems to take place between the legs, and covers the familiar ground of being a sad-sack, single guy, but there are brains at work in his bits too. Hatt's act is more palatable without being PG-13. There's always a wink and implied nudge behind his Don Rickles-ish needling. - Eye Magazine Bryan's obvious love for performing combined with over two decades of experience has made him a formidable force in the Canadian comedy scene. His ability to blend polished jokes with impromptu crowd work has made him a crowd favourite wherever he goes. Besides appearing on stages from coast to coast you may have seen Bryan's comedy featured on CTV and The Comedy Network (Comedy Now, Adventures in Comedy, Great Canadian Laugh Off), CBC (Halifax Comedy Fest, LOL) or heard his hit album Born This Weight on iTunes. If you haven't seen Bryan yet and you're reading this bio there's a good chance your long wait is over. Enjoy! SPECIAL GUEST PETER SARAN Information Source: Rusty Nail Comedy | eventbrite
