Brent honed his comedy in school and at the age of 20 moved to the city to pursue a career in stand-up. His television sitcom CORNER GAS became an instant hit with unprecedented ratings and numerous accolades including an International Emmy Award nomination, and was named "Funniest Show on TV" by TV Guide readers. Canada’s favourite comedy is now shown in over 26 countries including the US.
The final episode of the series was “the highest rated on record for a Canadian scripted series since it began keeping track in 1994” Brent’s follow-up series HICCUPS ran for two seasons. Brent wrote, starred in and produced the film under his Sparrow Media banner.
