Brief Biography:
Gord Paynter is a stand-up comic and he is different. Losing his eyesight in his early twenties as a result of diabetes, Gord thought his lifelong dream of becoming a comedian was gone forever. In truth, blindness opened his eyes to a whole new world of opportunity, humour and motivation. It all began on amateur night at Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club. Gord's unique style of comedy surprised the audience and triggered fits of laughter. Laughter that sparked the rediscovery of his dream. Today, Gord tours throughout North America performing as both a stand-up comic and a motivational speaker. Requirements:The versatility of Gord's show makes it suitable for audiences as few as 10 to as great as 10,000. Performing anywhere from a fully-equipped theatre, to a cleared floor space in a factory lunchroom, a riser in a hotel, a school gymnasium, or the deck of a ship - Gord's only other requirement is a microphone. Lighting is optional. (That's more your concern than his!!) Press Materials / Demos: |
