An interesting article on Canadian comedy and comedians. My favourite theory on why it does not resonate beyond the borders (beyond most comedians are absorbed to the USA).

Theory 5: The world may not be watching, but Canadians can make other Canadians laugh. It makes sad sense that while Canadian humor entertains the native population—notably with domestic TV comedy series such as This Hour Has 22 Minutes and the Royal Canadian Air Farce—it will never flourish outside the country, because nobody outside of Canada feels any urgent need to read or hear about, or even be aware of Canadian comedy.
