Yuk Yuk’s On Tour with Scott Dumas & Jeremy Furlong
Yuk Yuk’s On Tour stand up comedy series at the Horsethief Creek Pub in Radium. We are excited to have two more great acts make their debut in Radium this February 11 with headliner Scott Dumas & opening act Jeremy Furlong.
Comedy nights at the pub are a lot of fun… so plan on having fun and getting a safe ride home. Book our shuttle for a pickup and drop off when you get your tickets.
After graduating from Carleton University in Ottawa with a degree in Psychology, Scott took the next logical step that anyone with such a prestigious certificate would do, he pursued a career in life insurance sales. Two years of commissonless paydays later, he took his sales and financial skills, as well as his knowledge of the human psyche and got a job as a bank teller and quickly moved up the ladder to become a Financial Service Manager. It took 7 years before he put two-and- two together and realized that people are screwed up… because of money. He quit his job and moved to Calgary to pursue something else. He had no idea it would be stand-up comedy.
Within six months he was performing shows for Yuk Yuk’s and within a year had performed at all the Yuk Yuk’s clubs in Western Canada. In 1999 Scott entered the Yuk Yuk’s Alberta’s search for the Funniest New Comic and made it to the finals. Next Scott showcased at the Just for Laughs Homegrown Comedy Competition in Calgary in 2001.
Scott has also performed at numerous charity fundraisers and corporate Christmas parties and is a full-time member of the Western Canada roster…
Just recently, Scott toured through his home province of Ontario for the first time telling his nutty stories from one end of the 401 to the other. Start looking there on a regular basis. There isn’t enough humidity, or garbage strikes to keep him away.
Check this out, Scott’s fearless attitude and versatility as well as his comfortable presence in front of a camera landed him a job as the co-host of M-Style, which can be seen on Men T.V., on the digital network. Global, has raved about the show and has agreed to renew for year 2. Digital baby, Digital.
His overwhelming urge to travel has taken him to six different countries in the last 3 years. Whether it’s watrous, Saskatchewan or Luangphabang, Laos Scott will dazzle you with wacky stories about life on the road.
Join Jeremy Furlong in his arduous attempt in avoiding reality. This Strathmore Alberta native copes with daily bouts of insecurity and low self-esteem from staggering student loans and the inability to realize his full potential.
Jeremy’s act lacks a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ but makes up for it with an unforgettable ‘WTF’. Able to wow audiences with deeply fried physique and deliciously styled comedy, Jeremy delivers humour in unhealthy portions. Jeremy has held a lot of hard working jobs and he doesn’t have a problem letting you know how poorly he preformed at each and every one of them. In short: come out to see some terribly funny comedy coming from a horrible, yet strangely likeable person.
