DJ Demers

DJ, Demers

As seen on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, America’s Got Talent, Conan (three times) and his one-hour specials [Indistinct Chatter], Interpreted, and Born In ‘86, D.J. Demers is a steady provider of laughs. His clever stand-up is both personal and universal and has earned him multiple appearances at Just For Laughs, a nomination for Best Comedy Album at the Junos (i.e. the Canadian Grammys), and a growing legion of fans around the world.

Before moving to America, D.J. achieved tremendous success in Canada. In 2015, he was awarded Best Breakout Artist at the Canadian Comedy Awards. He won the Homegrown Comics Competition at the 2014 Montréal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, won the 2013 Toronto Comedy Brawl, and was a 2011 finalist on NBC‘s Stand-Up for Diversity.

All three of his stand-up albums have been played millions of times on all major streaming platforms. His appearances on Fallon, AGT, and Conan have garnered tens of millions of views on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. D.J. is the creator and star of a new CBC sitcom called One More Time, which is currently in production and slated to premiere on CBC in January of 2024.
