Brent Butt was born and raised in the small farming community of Tisdale, Saskatchewan (population 3000). As the youngest of seven children, one does what one can to be noticed, and at an early age Brent discovered that being funny was a good way to get and hold people's attention. When he was 12 he watched a stand-up comic on television and immediately told his mother that he was going to become a comedian. Not fully understanding what he was talking about, she said, "Go ahead".
     Now years later Brent has become a very successful comedian. He has received numerous awards for his successes. Who knew he was cooking up his own series, Corner Gas, set in the tiny town of Dog River with an odd bunch of archetypal characters? "It came together pretty quick, if you don't count the 17 years of being on the road as a standup," says Butt of the series. Brent not only stars in front of the camera but also wears several hats behind the scenes including creator, writer, executive producer and director.

The Kidney Foundation of Canada is the national volunteer organization committed to reducing the burden of kidney disease through:

• funding and stimulating innovative research;
• providing education and support;
• promoting access to quality healthcare; and
• increasing public awareness and commitment to advancing kidney health and organ donation
