Henry Sir has carved a niche with his acerbic takes on the state of the world. His series, “Current Events Chirped By A Canadian,” has sold out venues across Canada. Now, Houston audiences can see what the buzz is about when Sir headlines at The Riot Comedy Club on Friday, October 2, 2026.
Edmonton native and former All Canadian university basketball player, Sir brings precision to his comedy echoing his time on the court. His dry wit and sharp writing dissect contemporary chaos with cool detachment. The humor lies in unexpected angles and original twists that keep audiences engaged. His recent performances in Edmonton and Calgary sold out.
The Riot Comedy Club, known for its intimate setting, offers a perfect backdrop for Sir’s style. The venue’s close quarters create a performance that feels more like a conversation, where Sir’s impeccable joke writing and timing can shine.
As Sir noted in an Edify interview, “This is such a hard, ridiculous thing to try to make a living at. When you can actually move tickets, that’s everything.” With performances lined up in Austin and San Diego later this year, Houston audiences can catch him before he moves on to larger stages.
