Wes Zaharuk credits his comic roots to his Canadian parents.
They made ‘not listening’ an Olympic event. As a child, his parents dressed him in wool pants that were incredibly itchy. Complain as he would, his words fell on deaf ears.
When he developed a skin condition that looked like a large, all-dressed pizza, he was tested for allergies. It was found that he was allergic to wool.
Through it all, Wes Zaharuk developed a strong desire to be heard – if only to reduce the rash!
Early in his career the Toronto based comic’s fast paced razor wit and tornado-like approach to comedy caught on quickly.
Soon he became one of the most requested comedians at clubs, colleges, and major corporations through North America. TV shows followed with appearances on SCTV and Bizarre. He appeared on America’s Funniest People and came second in one of the programmes. Wes was featured in the documentary Yellow Brick Road which won a Genie Award.
Five appearances on Club 54 increased the audiences that have been lucky enough to have seen Wes and his eccentric collection of stupid prop tricks. Wes has brought his one-man tour de force around the world. England, Scotland, Cyprus, Germany, Israel and Australia are but a few of the countries Zaharuk draws audiences excited to see his crazy antics on stage.
Audiences have come to expect the unexpected!
