For a clean, experienced and hilariously funny Ottawa-based corporate comedian, Absolute Comedy recommends Rick Currie. Rick headlines our club regularly and has over 15 years experience performing for clients such as: Research in Motion, Bell, Alcatel and many more across the country.

Ottawa native Rick Currie's clean and whimsical style has remained popular across Canada for two decades now and has allowed him to perform at the Montreal, Winnipeg and St. John Comedy Festivals. He has appeared on many different CBC Radio programs including "Madly off In all Directions", "DNTO" and "The Debaters". His half hour special for CTV's "Comedy Now!" is rebroadcast frequently and for some reason, a "Comedy at Club 54" show he recorded in 1997 is still in heavy rotation on The Comedy Network and on XM Satellite Radio. For four years, Rick was a principal writer on CTV's "Open Mike with Mike Bullard". These days, Ottawa audiences remember him from his reports on 93.9 BOB FM's "The Morning After with JR and Sandy" and appearances at Absolute Comedy. Most recently, Rick returned to the Winnipeg Comedy Festival where he performed on the Saturday night gala show which was broadcast on CBC TV in the spring of 2009. In the winter of 2009, Rick’s “OC Transpo Strike Song” generated close to 20,000 YouTube hits in one week.
