He has done several stand-up performances for CTV, CBC, CBC radio’s Definitely Not the Opera and The Comedy Network, as well as A&E in the US and SBS in Australia. Corner Gas, which he produced, ran for six seasons, and his follow-up program Hiccups aired for two seasons. His first feature film, No Clue, was released in 2013, and he also starred in the recent film, Corner Gas: The Movie, which saw the entire cast reunited to the delight of rabid fans and new fans alike. The movie received a special Golden Screen Award at the 2016 Canadian Screen Awards.
In 2018, Brent created an all-new animated version of his iconic comedy franchise entitled Corner Gas: Animated. The 13-episode season premiered on The Comedy Network, immediately becoming the #1 rated show in the network’s history. Based on its success, it is now airing on CTV primetime and concurrently streaming on Crave TV.
