Frank Shuster

Comedian Frank Shuster was one-half of the iconic Canadian comedy duo, Wayne and Shuster. Along with UC classmate Johnny Wayne, he developed their trademark brand of satirical, literate slapstick. The pair performed skits on CBC Radio throughout the 1940s and gained international renown through guest appearances on television in the 1950s, notably on The Ed Sullivan Show and the BBC. As the straight man to Wayne’s funny man, Shuster was the relatively serious member of the duo.
