Will Hannigan

Picture this: a guy who spent nearly a decade touring the frozen tundras of Canada, charming crowds from Edmonton to Vancouver, suddenly finds himself navigating the quirks of British weather and the peculiar rituals of London life. That's Will Hannigan—a Canadian comic with a conversational presence that feels like catching up with your funniest mate over a pint, except he's the one doing all the hilarious talking.

Since starting comedy at 18, Will's built a career that's taken him from winning YEG's Funniest Person to opening for heavyweight acts like Shane Gillis and Bobby Lee. He's graced stages at Just For Laughs NorthWest and the Grindstone Comedy Festival, and his albums have bounced across North America on satellite radio. In August 2023, he packed up his life and landed in London, where he's been making waves ever since—a favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, bringing his sharp observational humour to both Battersea and Soho.

Will's material digs into family dynamics, relationships, and his honest journey through alcoholism and sobriety, all delivered with an energy that's powerful yet effortlessly conversational. Whether he's riffing on Christian hockey camps or explaining why his sister might actually be a witch, Will's got the kind of comedy that makes you laugh and think in equal measure.
