Changing the Face of Comedy
As a former high school English teacher in Vancouver, Paul brought an inspiring mixture of laughter and learning into the classroom. After seven years, he found that it was more fun laughing at his students than with them, and that's when he took to the stand-up stage.
Since 2000, Paul has appeared in many comedy competitions and festivals, including Montreal's Just For Laughs and Vancouver’s CanWest Comedy Festival. He represented Vancouver in Yuk Yuk's Search For Canada's Funniest New Comic on the Comedy Network and was a semi-finalist in the San Francisco Comedy Competition. He can be seen on CBC specials 'Sleeping With The Elephant' and 'Western Alienation', as well as CTV’s Comedy Now! for his own one hour comedy special.
Paul Bae and Charles Demers join forces as comedy duo Bucket where they write and perform scathing, engaging sketch comedy with a cerebral twist that has had audiences on both sides of the border in stitches. They have received outstanding reviews from critics and were called “the future of comedy” by Robin Williams. Paul, and Bucket cohort Charlie Demers, formed half of the television team for CityNews List on CityTV, a made-in-Vancouver show that poked fun at the news. As well, Paul was a regular voice on the hit CBC Radio series, The Debaters.
Paul combines his comedy and teaching skills as a motivational speaker at teacher’s conferences and student’s groups. He is also available to run corporate leadership workshops on public speaking, presentations and bringing humor into the workplace. Read more about Paul's motivational speaking
