Comedians born in Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay sits on the northwestern shore of Lake Superior in Ontario and was formed in 1970 by the merger of the twin cities of Fort William and Port Arthur. A major Great Lakes grain-shipping port, it looks out on the Sleeping Giant, a peninsula that resembles a reclining figure, and it is the site of the monument marking the end of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope.

Its universities and venues support a modest but active live-comedy scene.Kris LaBelle comes from here.
