Bonnie McFarlane, a comedian hailing from Canada, began her journey into comedy at an open mic night in Vancouver. Encouraged by the club manager, she entered and won The Search for Canada's Funniest New Comic, a prestigious comedy contest that marked the start of her professional career. She then made the pivotal move to New York, where she quickly secured both a manager and an agent. This relocation also led her to tape her first half-hour special for Comedy Central, bringing her comedic talent to a wider audience. Bonnie's career trajectory saw her landing a development deal with CBS for a sitcom, although that particular show never came to fruition. Undeterred, she found herself with a starring role on the UPN sitcom "Social Studies." However, the show was short-lived, lasting just six episodes before cancellation. Nevertheless, new opportunities arose, including a role written by Christopher Guest for an HBO pilot titled "D.O.A." Unfortunately, this pilot wasn't picked up, but Bonnie's persistence in the industry continued. Her move to Los Angeles opened further doors, allowing her to perform stand-up and appear on various shows like "The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn," "Premium Blend," and she even hosted "Later" on NBC. Her comedic prowess earned her a spot as a regular on "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn." In addition, she made guest appearances on other popular shows such as "Gross Pointe," "Scare Tactics," and "The Drew Carey Show." Not just limited to performance, Bonnie expanded her skills to writing and punch-up work for several TV shows, including "The Man Show," "Spy TV," and "Trigger Happy." Her unique comedic voice stood out in the second season of NBC's "Last Comic Standing," leading to a memorable appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and regular spots on "The Late Show with David Letterman." As her reputation grew, she began headlining shows nationwide. Venturing into new media formats, Bonnie taped her first HBO hour special and created innovative stage shows like "The Fake, Fake Show" with Zach Galifianakis, and a short film titled "Sushi Whore" featuring Patton Oswalt. Bonnie McFarlane's career continues to thrive as she engages audiences with her wit and creativity in stand-up, writing, and acting.
