After graduating from Carleton
University in Ottawa with a degree in Psychology, Doom (that's what they call
him) took the next logical step that anyone with such a prestigious certificate
would make. He pursued a career in life insurance sales. Two years of
commission-less paydays later, he took his sales and financial skills, as well
as his knowledge of the human psyche and got a job hustling mortgages at Bank of
Montreal. It took seven years before he put two-and-two together and didn’t come
up with four. He realized that people are screwed up…. because of money. In
1997, he moved to Calgary, quit his job and decided to pursue something else. He
had no idea it would be stand-up comedy.
Within six months he was
performing comedy shows, he was a finalist in the Alberta’s Search for Funniest
New Comic in 1999, and has showcased for the Just For Laughs in 2001, 2004 and
2007. He has performed for numerous corporate functions, fundraisers and golf
tournaments.
His fearless attitude and
versatility as well as his comfortable presence in front of a camera landed him
a job as host of M-Style, a “Maxim Magazine” type show on Men TV on the digital
network. Look for it on channel 97, where the show is played 6 days a week, 3
times per day. Doom is also a published writer who regularly contributes to Vex
Magazine, a Calgary-based men's lifestyle magazine. In the past 2 years he has
interviewed and written articles on Tom Cochrane, Mike Keenan, Craig Conroy and
Kaleb Toth, to name a few.
This military brat has an
overwhelming urge to travel and has taken him to a dozen different countries in
the last 10 years. He saw the sun rise up over Tokyo, Japan on January 1, 2000.
He scalped tickets at the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia as well as the
Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Whether it’s Watrous, Saskatchewan or
Luangphabang, Laos, Doom will dazzle you with wacky stories about life on the
road.
Testimonials
"“As the coordinator of AGRO Equipments 2009
Christmas and annual awards ceremony I would like to extend my heartfelt Thank
you. Every year we go through the difficult and stressful task to figure out not
just the place, or meal but also the entertainment to keep 300 plus people
happy.AGRO Equipment has had Casino's, Train rides and also we have had Country
music singer Paul Brandt to entertain us. This year it was an honor to be able
to hire Scott Dumas. I had the pleasure to see Scott the night before AGRO'S
event. And WOW!!! different atmosphere and different crowd. Scott was able to
change his set to accommodate his surroundings. Myself, staff, and the VP's of
AGRO were very impressed with Scott's professional attitude and out standing
comedy." Mama K and boys are looking forward to see Scott again in a different
atmosphere."

“I would like to take the time to say what a great
evening we had while being continuously entertained by Scott Dumas. This was the
second time I had seen him perform and I have to say what a treat it was to see
him the second time around. I would have him back to do a show any day!”

“Fabulously funny, Dumas’ detours through the
audience kept us laughing and engaged. Note to self, Argyle is not cool.” Sylvan
Lake Chamber of Commerce “We recently hired comedian Scott Dumas to perform and
act as Master of Ceremonies at our 25th Annual Fort Saskatchewan Chamber of
Commerce Business Awards Gala. The event was a semi-formal affair attended by
250 local business people from our area. Scott arrived promptly as promised and
after a short explanation of what was expected in his capacity as MC, he
launched into his comedy routine. I am pleased to report that he did a tasteful
job on both counts. His routine had everyone in stitches. When I wasn’t dabbing
the tears from my eyes, my job as chairperson had me intently watching the crowd
for their reaction. Everywhere I looked I saw people roaring with laughter. I
had several people approach me after the evening was over saying that they had
to hold hard to prevent from peeing themselves. They particularly enjoyed his
gentle ribbing of our Mayor. I had told him that although it wouldn’t be a
prudish crowd, that I didn’t want him to be too off color. No one reported being
offended by any of his material. During the awards presentations, he was able to
inject humor into what can often be considered a bit dry often mis-pronouncing
names or ribbing unusually named companies. I would have no difficulty in highly
recommending Scott for similar type events.”

“I was introduced to Scott Dumas on my 40th birthday
party, what made this a very special night for me I had no idea that my husband
had talked to Scott about coming over to our "shop" to give a comedy performance
that night, I was a little intoxicated at the time Scott had arrive, and just
thinking he was one our our employees I thought nothing of him being there,
until one of our great family friends got on the microphone and announced for me
to come upstairs and have a chair..... and there he was Scott Dumas or as I
liked to call him Duane. Well I was thrilled with his comedy act and I was very
impressed that he took the time out of his scheduled performance in Cranbrook
British Columbia to come to our "shop" and entertain forty some people that he
had never meet before, and made us all laugh until our stomachs hurt. Scott not
only is a great comedian he is also a great human being, my friends had the time
of their lives and I had a great 40th birthday party. Scott you will always be
welcome over to the shop anytime, it was great meeting you and look forward in
seeing you again in your travels. Thank you so very very much for taking the
time out, and giving us a great memory in our journey in life.
