The cult 1980s Canadian stand-up comedian and inventor of Canadian stand-up comedy, comes to Edinburgh for his UK debut. See Canadian stand-up comedy's past, and perhaps its future. 'If he could expand his razor wit onto a global level I think he could be incredibly popular.' (Geddy Lee, Rush). 'Always controversial ... never at a loss for words.' (Allan Fotheringham, Calgary Roughneck). 'An unpredictable Canadian forest dweller in a Mexican wrestling mask smeared with bacon.' (LondonIsFunny.com). Baconface is programme-associate for the forthcoming series of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle (BBC2). www.baconfacecanada.com

Baconface leaves a bad taste
On Thursday, Stewart Lee's open contempt for his own audiences, which I had previously assumed was concocted (or at least heightened) for comic effect, reached its grim logical conclusion. Not only did he sack off the whole gig on impulse, he made us feel like we were to blame, not him.
J.R. Moores, Chortle, 13th August 2013Explain yourself: Baconface
The Canadian who works in a Mexican wrestling mask covered in bacon is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Ed Potton, The Times, 7th August 2013Baconface - an in-joke for Stewart Lee devotees
The first thing you should know about Baconface - this burly, meaty veteran of the Canadian alternative comedy scene - is that he and the UK's own Stewart Lee will never be seen in the same room.
Julian Hall, The Independent, 6th August 2013Stewart Lee describes first encounter with Baconface
Cult Canadian comic Baconface is set to sizzle at the Fringe. Stewart Lee recalls seeing this stand-up giant in 1986 and pays tribute to a man he robbed.
