Brent Butt is a Canadian comedian (treasure) who created Corner Gas.
His humor (at least in the show, I’ve never seen his stand up) is fairly PG–a few jackasses thrown in, but mostly (the show at least) is about living with weirdos who you love and hate.

It is about stand up comedy though. And it follows three main characters (in 1994).
Dale is the main character. He’s been a comedian for years and is reliably very funny. But his star is fading and now that he is his forties, he’s finding himself doing smaller shows. He also has an ex-wife and daughter who he wants to support. Once he gets through this run of shows he’ll have enough to give her what she needs. (more…)
