Johnny Wayne

Legendary comedian Johnny Wayne is remembered as the madcap half of the iconic Canadian comedy duo, Wayne and Shuster. Along with classmate and fellow UC Follies alumnus Frank Shuster (BA 1939 UC), he is credited with founding the great Canadian tradition in sketch comedy. Their signature, literate slapstick style of comedy provided the basis for an enormously successful career on radio, stage and television that lasted nearly five decades.
