Back from the ashes of a Covid-19 comedy career, Derek Seguin is back out on tour with a vengeance. He shares his lock-down experience with his family, how he was somehow chosen by the Quebec government to be the spokesperson on how to stay safe and sound during the pandemic (Seems the government didn’t do its research on role-model candidates), and some new adventures he’s been on during and since the (hopefully) end of the pandemic. And there will probably be some swearing, and a few dirty stories sprinkled in there too. One thing is for certain; Derek is back with a re-invigored enthusiasm and excitement at being back on stage in front of live people. A show not to be missed for anyone who loves stand-up comedy. You will recognize Derek as a favourite on CBC Radio’s, “The Debaters” with more than thirty times and two television recordings of their show.

From highly personal tracks like ‘See Your Star’ and ‘Older Now’, to lighthearted offerings such as lead single and post-legalization anthem, ‘Fire’, the common thread on Beach Music is Wesley’s willingness to navigate life carefully but with open arms, taking it all as it comes, and enjoying every moment.
