Victor J., also known to his parents and friends as Victor J Hanson, was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  (The Jane-Finch area to be exact.)   As Victor says:  “Living in this part of Toronto, you either grew up as a tough fighter or someone that could joke their way out of a fight... I’m still a lousy fighter.” 

Victor J Hanson started out as a serious guitarist... serious?, yea right!  Always finding more satisfaction in making the audience laugh as opposed to putting a serious song across.    Victor J Hanson started playing lead guitar in a band that performed in the Country Music scene, opening shows for Country Music acts such as  Tim Taylor & Anita Perras,  The Family Brown,   Marty Robbins,  &  The Oak Ridge Boys... Adding humour to every show, much to the chagrin of other band members.          

After a couple years on the road he decided to hone his comedy further.  He came back to Toronto, & sold his 1976 Malibu to help pay for acting lessons that included The Second City Improv.    Always using his musical talent to enhance his comedy, Victor formed his Musical Comedy duo Men Without Hairs, (with a CD release appropriately called “Laugh”.  Victor says it’s a million seller... “Yea, I got a million in my cellar!”), and later, another duo, this time of hilarious Comedic Improv proportions called, The Pudgy Boys!  Both acts have performed across Canada & the U.S. including Caesar's Palace, in Las Vegas.  (Victor, how do you come up with the names for your acts?...“Simple, I just look into the mirror.”) 

Victor J. Hanson has also worked with -   Burton Cummings,   Kids In The Hall,  Robert Vaughn,  Roch Voisine,  Dini Petty,  George Fox,   Robin Leach,   Red Green,  and  Valdy just to name a few.

"The comments on Victor were absolutely over the top. He kept the audience in stitches the whole evening, worked a number of people in the audience into his routine and had everyone laughing with them as opposed to at them.  We have never had such positive feedback before. He did an absolutely fabulous job. Thanks for letting us know about him."
