Stewart Francis - Introduction


Stewart Francis is a Canadian stand-up comedian, actor and writer. Canadian comic Stewart Francis is known for the quality of his one-liners – and is getting rather better known for them.

The unwavering tone of the night doesn’t make for much variety, but the quality of the writing ensures a sizeable collection of wonderfully quotable jokes. All Stewart Francis can do is plough into the material until a techie quickly arrives on stage with a replacement.

When Stewart Francis later repeats a gag, an occupational hazard with a fragmented set like his, Stewart Francis has another well-honed joke about the apparent slip that leaves the audience uncertain as to whether it was a mistake at all.

At Stewart Francis best, he plays with audience expectations of how a gag will pan out, abruptly switching direction or swerving to another punchline. The very finest have a delayed drop as the audience suddenly appreciate just how clever – in a stupid way – Stewart Francis has just been. Occasionally there’s even a smaller sub-joke to the main one, which is particularly impressive to achieve in two sentences.
