I first met Cliff Prang about 7 years ago I think. My family and I were on a cross country adventure in our van from Toronto, Ontario to British Columbia. When we finally arrived at our first BC stop in Chilliwack we were introduced to Cliff and his wife. My impression is that Cliff and I hit off right away because of our mutual love of being silly and making people laugh. Not only does Cliff make me laugh he makes a lot of other people laugh too. Here is his official bio. Cliff Prang is a professional actor, comedian and amateur stay at home dad. His commercials can be seen on pretty much every major TV network and his season 4 appearance on the CW’s Supergirl finally shattered his typecast of ‘aspirational dad' by playing the role of 'alien... dad'. You can also see him on NBC's the INBETWEEN as a fancy lawyer/corpse and on the season 14 finale of SUPERNATURAL as MAN#3. Cliff has been in love with making people laugh since birth and has a full menu of comedy options including stand up, improv, speaking, emceeing, auctioneering, etc. He delivers those services to a broad spectrum of audiences at Bars, Clubs, Schools, Churches, Fundraisers, Corporate Events, etc. Additionally he has over 22 years of improv experience with Vancouver TheatreSports, The Panic Squad Improv & now Funny Brothers Improv. As a stand up he has shared the stage with powerhouses, Sunee Dhaliwal, Debra DiGiovanni, Ivan Decker, the late great Canadian Legend Mike MacDonald as well as *Saturday Night Live's Chris Kattan. Cliff has been featured at Just For Laughs Northwest, the Fraser Valley Comedy Festival, and within the hallowed pages of Reader's Digest (the pinnacle of Canadian Comedy fame... but not really).
