“Joe Flaherty is a wonderful addition to the Comedy: Writing & Performance program at Humber and our students are sure to benefit,” says Joe Kertes, Dean, Humber School of Creative & Performing Arts. “His experience encompasses all the elements of comedy that we teach. Besides being a performer on film and television, he's an accomplished writer of sketch comedy. And, he's been a popular teacher in our summer workshop, so he has the classroom experience, too. ”

Joe Flaherty's career began at Second City in Toronto and Chicago. He is, however, best known for his work on SCTV, which earned him two Emmy Awards for writing. His countless feature film roles include appearances on The Wrong Guy, Back to the Future 2, Who's Harry Crumb? , and many others. His television credits include, among others, the critically-acclaimed Freaks and Geeks, Ellen, Married with Children, and the highly-acclaimed Maniac Mansion in which he starred.

Most recently, he made guest appearances on The King of Queens, That 70's Show, Frasier, and Royal Canadian Air Farce.
