Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair

While at secondary school, Mochrie was persuaded to try out for a role in a play. He was immediately hooked when he got his first audience laugh. This inspired him to pursue a career in entertainment, which was to develop into comedy. He spent four years attended the Studio 58 theater school, where he discovered the art of improvisational comedy. He was given a regular spot on the UK show, after auditioning three times and had been denied three times, to “Whose Line Is It”. In 1998 when the show ended, he had spent 7 years as a regular participant. Soon after, he joined the American version of the show, and worked with Bradley Sherwood. He appeared on every show until that closed in 2006.

Mochrie and his co-star Brad Sherwood have toured North America, intermittently, as a two-man improv stage show, since 2002, producing the critically acclaimed, live, two-man improv show: ‘Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood: Scared Scriptless!’

Collin Mochrie has played in some of the larger venues, like the Sydney Opera House and London's Royal Albert Hall, and has featured in comedy shows in the UK, American and Canada. Numerous awards have been awarded to Mochrie for his work, and he has been recognized with two Canadian Comedy Awards, a Gemini Award, and a Writers Guild of Canada award. In 2013, he was named Canadian Comedy Person of the Year at the Canadian Comedy Awards.
