HARRISTON – Love is no joke, but comedian Shaun Majumder finds a way to make it funny.

Raised in rural Newfoundland, Majumder has been a performer his entire life.

However, according to the adults around him, there was no future in acting, so Majumder followed the guidance of his teachers and went to university with the hopes of a career finding him.
After one year of partying and taking general arts classes, he quickly realized his true passion was acting, so he abandoned his safety net and went for it.
He found early success as a standup comedian and host, landing his first gigs with YTV (Canada’s Nickelodeon) as a host/PJ for five years, along with CBC’s Just For Laughs comedy series. He continued to book small roles in film and television and in 2003 he Joined the cast of CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes where he spent 17 seasons.
