The self-proclaimed Mountain Man of Comedy takes the stage Saturday as part of Theatre Cambrian’s Late Night Comedy Series.

K. Trevor Wilson is in Sudbury shooting the second season of Letterkenny, the Crave TV and Comedy Network show that has everyone – including critics – in stitches.

The cast and crew of Letterkenny will be here another week before they wrap up filming.

"It’s a great show and we had a blast doing season 1," said Wilson who plays Squirrely Dan. "We love coming up here and making television."

With numerous comedy awards and film credits that include Score: A Hockey Musical and The Art of Steal, Wilson is one of Canada’s busiest comics.

His debut album Sexcop Firepenis was released in late 2014 and was the most downloaded album on iTunes Canadian Comedy Charts. It was also named the Best Taped Live Performance at the Canadian Comedy Awards. Wilson is preparing two follow-up albums: one for the Canadian market and the second, destined for the American and international market.

"One is a real love letter to Canada, but the references get lost once I leave the country," he said.

Wilson has been in the entertainment industry since he was 14, doing commercials and television. His first major role was in Goosebumps, the television series based on children’s book by R.L. Stine.

But it was comedy that came calling when he had to make a decision about his education and so he enrolled in Humber College’s comedy writing and performance program.

If you’ve never seen Wilson on stage, expect a lot of storytelling, with many, what he describes, "strange but true" tales about growing up in Canada.

Wilson said he comes from a family of born entertainers, although he’s one of the only ones to make a living doing it.

"My folks are my biggest fans; I have a real supportive family, I sort of lucked out that way," he said. "No one in my family was surprised when I said I was going to do this. They were just worried it was going to be a long way to see a return."

In the 1920s and 1930s, his grandmother and her twin sister toured the country as vaudeville performers. At 18, the sisters from Saskatchewan performed on an Alaskan showboat cruise.

"When grandma found out I was going into the business, she was really thrilled, very happy that one of her grandkids were going into the family business," he said.
