David Benjamin Tomlinson 

Sunday, 4 September – 7pm Showtime – Lecture Hall 

David Benjamin Tomlinson is a writer, actor, and raconteur.  His brand new show “Fagnificent” deals with life at middle age, (which, if you’re DBT includes awkward vampire roleplays, navigating bro dens, and becoming a wizard).   

David Benjamin Tomlinson is a long-time friend of We’re Funny That Way, and is beyond thrilled to be world premiering (!!!) his brand new show Fagnificent at this year’s festival.  A Toronto comedy and theatre mainstay, DBT has recently performed as Mathieu in the queer version of Blind Date at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, and as Toller Cranston in Sky Gilbert’s Fringe hit Toller.  He co-created and wrote the hit CBC digital series The Writers’ Block for CBC Gem.  Television credits include Queer as Folk, Orphan Black, and Designated Survivor.  David can currently be seen as the loveable Saurian Linus on Star Trek: Discovery.
