Ian Bagg's Bio Ian Bagg started his comedy career in his native
country Canada. He proceeded to do all the show business things that
every successful Canadian entertainer does. He went to a “Hockey
Night in Canada” game on a Saturday night performed at the
“Montreal Comedy Festival ” kissed a fish in New Foundland and a
“Comedy Now” special on CTV. So what does a Canadian do when he
has done it all? He boards a train to New York City lives in a youth
hostel and ends up on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien ” “The
Late Late show with Craig Ferguson” and “Tonight Show with Jay
Leno.” It is not always fun and games. He was forced to do “Make
Me Laugh ” “Showcase Comics with Louie Anderson ” “Fridays”
on NBC and the “Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.” His new
one-hour special “Ian Bagg: Getting to F*cking Know You” premiered
on Showtime in April 2013. Bagg has acted in Tim Robbins’ “The
Cradle will Rock ” “MVP 2 ” and “MXP”. Fun fact: he’s the
the only known comic to have worked for famed director/producer Judd
Apatow and not become a multi-billionaire. Life has been amazing for
Bagg being on such diverse platforms as the History Channel the Food
Network the Biography Channel and being the first ever Canadian to
meet three US presidents– Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter and George
Bush…although only one was in the White House at the time while he
met one on a plane and the other at a hockey practice. While working
red carpet interviews Ian has pissed off Brad Pitt been hit with a
champagne bottle and asked for chocolate covered pretzels by Alec
Baldwin. You probably wonder what kind of man does this and without
imploding? The answer is a man whose dog survived a three- story fall
and who’s been known to think he is twelve–but may actually be
twenty-nine or seventy-two. Ian went to school to be an explosives
engineer but a lucky chance at an open mic made him the volatile one.
He may be in your area sooner than you think because this man-child
does over 100 000 air miles a year…or you could listen to his
radio/podcast show on XM Radio channel 160 or The Toadhopnetwork (The
Ian Bagg Show.) He has performed 2 successful half-hour specials
“Comedy Central Presents” and HBO’s “A Comics Climb” and has
been seen on “Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution.”
