One of the most unique stand-up comics working today, Canadian-born Jeremy Hotz has quickly become a proven international success. Known for his completely original and confused, yet very astute, observational comedy, Jeremy has captured audiences across the globe, from Canada to the United States, Europe, and Australia. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Hotz began his comedic journey at local clubs across Canada. His breakout moment came in 1997 at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, where he received a standing ovation at the festival’s prestigious television gala. His performances at Just For Laughs were so well-received that he became a festival staple, returning in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005—when he was voted Best Performer by the "Globe and Mail"—and many other years. The "Montreal Gazette" named him Best in Fest in 2008, further solidifying his reputation as a top-tier comedian. Jeremy's talent quickly caught the eye of American studios and networks, leading to his first major development deals. His television appearances are numerous, marking highlights in his career. He made his debut on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and followed up with five appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." He has appeared on Comedy Central with his own half-hour special and was featured on MTV’s "Half Hour Comedy Hour." Furthermore, his one-hour TV special, "What A Miserable Show This Is…," was a hit on CTV, as was its DVD counterpart. Hotz is a beloved figure in theaters and stand-up clubs across Canada and the US, including famed venues like the Laugh Factory and Improv in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. His comedic prowess has also been highlighted at HBO’s prestigious comedy festival in Aspen, Colorado. Beyond his stand-up career, Jeremy is a talented actor. He appeared in the fourth season of HBO Canada’s "Call Me Fitz" and in feature films such as "My Favorite Martian" alongside Elizabeth Hurley and "Speed 2" with Sandra Bullock and Jason Patric. He starred in the Comedy Central mini-series "Married Life" and earned a Gemini Award nomination for the CBC’s "OH CANA-DUH." He went on to win a Gemini Award for “Best Performance in a Comedy Show or Series” for his role in the celebrated series "The Newsroom" on the CBC and PBS in America. In addition to acting, Jeremy has made a mark as a writer. He was a staff writer and performer on the critically acclaimed "The Jon Stewart Show" on Paramount and received a Gemini nomination for “Best Writing in Comedy or Variety Show or Series” for his half-hour special, "Whatever Happened to Jeremy Hotz?" His excellence in comedy has been recognized with several awards. In 2008, he was honored with the Dave Broadfoot Comic Genius Award at the Canadian Comedy Awards, the country’s most prestigious comedy accolade. The following year, he was named Best Male Stand-Up. His success continued as he headlined the Melbourne, Sydney, and Auckland Comedy Festivals, winning the Jury Prize for Best International Performer at the Sydney Comedy Festival. Jeremy’s "Magical Misery" tour across Canada in February and March of 2013 was yet another testament to his comedic brilliance, drawing in fans nationwide and affirming his status as one of comedy’s most distinctive voices.
