Shaun Majumder (Venables Theatre)
2023-11-04 19:30 - 21:30
Hold onto your funny bones and fasten your seatbelts because Train Wreck Comedy is BACK, baby! We’re gracing the Venables Theatre with a comedy spectacle like no other – drumroll, please – “The Hate Tour” starring none other than the legendary Canadian chuckle guru, Shaun Majumder!
If you snoozed and missed Shaun’s “Love Tour” in May 2022, don’t you dare shed a tear! We’ve got your back, and this is your moment to make things right! Consider it a comedy redemption. If you were one of the lucky souls who caught the “Love Tour,” get ready to have your sides splitting all over again!
Raised in rural Newfoundland Canada, Shaun Majumder has been a performer his entire life. After leaving his hometown of Burlington (Pop 350) and moving to Mississauga Ontario at the age of thirteen, Shaun acted in his first stage play in the 8th Grade. Immediately he was hooked. He continued theatre throughout high school, winning several awards at festivals for his many performances. But according to the adults around him, there was no future in this acting thing. So, Shaun followed the guidance of his teachers and did what most did; went to university with the hopes of a career finding him.
After one year of partying and taking general arts classes, Shaun quickly realized his true passion was acting, so he abandoned his safety net and went for it. He found early success as a Standup Comedian and host, landing his first gigs with YTV (Canada’s Nickelodeon) as a host/PJ for five years, along with CBC’s Just For Laughs comedy series. He continued to book small roles in Film and TV and in 2003 he joined the cast of CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes where he spent seventeen seasons.
For the past twenty-plus years, Shaun has found success on both sides of the border. A few noteworthy performances include his work as Detective Vik Mahajan in ABC’s critically acclaimed crime drama, Detroit 1-8-7. His role as Andrew Palmer on NBC’s The Firm starring alongside Josh Lucas and Juliette Lewis. As Hassan Numair on FOX’s 24. His comedy roles include starring in the Sketch Comedy Series Cedric The Entertainer Presents, The Farrelly Brothers Unhitched, ABC’s Married Not Dead, NBC’s Nevermind Nirvana, and CBC’s Hatching Matching and Dispatching.
​
So get ready for non-stop giggles, snickers, guffaws, and maybe even a few snorts (don’t worry, we won’t judge!). Shaun Majumder is a comedic maestro, and “The Hate Tour” is his symphony of hilarity, ready to blow your laughter-loving minds!
