Syd Bosel
Syd Bosel is a Canadian comedian and comedic story-teller, born and raised in Vancouver, BC. She moved to Vancouver Island in 2020. She spills your life out onto the stage, as she shares her tales of “adult” children, being married for 1,000 years, and the glories of nature. Her favourite reviews: “That older lady was really funny” (a Gen Z patron walking past me) and “My wife laughed so hard that she peed her pants” (a husband who lacks discretion, whispering into my ear).
Syd started stand-up comedy in 2016 after surviving Breast Cancer and has built her career up to becoming a touring comic. Getting onto the Winnipeg Comedy Festival is an absolute dream come true for me.
