Charlie Demers

Charlie Demers is a Juno-nominated comedian, acclaimed author, and gifted voice actor whose work dances between sharp social satire and deep reflection. A Vancouver living legend, his voice—both literal and literary—has become an unmistakable thread in the cultural fabric of the city.

As a beloved regular on CBC Radio’s The Debaters, Demers brings audiences to uproarious laughter with a mind as quick as it is curious. His voice animates Emmy-winning Netflix series like Beat Bugs, The Last Kids on Earth and Poutine on Super Teen Canada.

On the page, Demers writes with both clarity and compassion. From his celebrated non-fiction debut Vancouver Special, shortlisted for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize, to novels like Property Values and Primary Obsessions, he maps the moral and emotional topographies of modern life—urban grit, political yearning, relationships and the quiet revolutions of the everyday.
