Jeremy Robinson 

December 12 1980 saw the birth of Jeremy Robinson. He started out doing funny voices in third grade and later upgraded in entertaining his classroom with goofy characters. Jeremy dabbled in serious acting when he performed a scene from “Hamlet” for his seventh grade acting class, it was the first time he was able to use the word “damn” without getting in trouble for it. He’s also written a couple of serious one act plays entitled “Good Morning” and “The Universal” both of which premiered at The Matchbox which is a venue that no longer exists. Jeremy thinks this is unfortunate. He directed his first legitimate serious short film based on his play “Good Morning” last January which hopes to make its rounds in the film festival circuit in the coming months. After spending the majority of his life admiring people like Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, W.C. Fields, and Woody Allen, Jeremy has focused primarily on comedy which he finds to be the perfect anti-depressant to people who can’ t afford therapy or prosac.

Blaine Newton

35 years of lead and supporting roles in over 16 musicals, including five seasons with Rainbow Stage Theatre in Winnipeg, have made Blaine a pain in the ass to work with. You may have dozed off during his lead roles in the musical “Man of la Mancha” and the plays “Deathtrap,” “Noises Off” and “Lend Me A Tenor,” and please don't mention his supporting roles in the musicals “Singing in the Rain,” “Sweeney Todd” and “Jesus Christ Superstar.” You’d think after all this he could learn his friggin’ lines. He also played Elwood Blues to Matt Dale’s Jake in two recent Blue Brothers tributes (despite his performance, he wasn’t actually playing the dead brother). He’s a founding member of The ACME Theatre Company (“Fine Theatre Since Tuesday”), writing and performing sketch comedy. A playwright, his plays have been produced across Western Canada and seen by well under a million people. 

This is Blaine’s first season with BullSkit. He hopes to live up to their motto of “Dignity. Always Dignity.”

Serge Belliveau

Serge Belliveau is pleased as punch to be a part of Bull Skit’s 4th season.  Following the successes of the past 3 years, and the growth of the ensemble, Serge is more than content to be back.  With a focus on Improvisation and the excitement of creating this is bound to be a stellar season.

Born and raised in Red Deer with a couple sojourns to Toronto, Serge has had ample stage time.  Enrolling in the Theatre Program at RDC years ago, roles including Billy Bigelow in Carousel, Judah in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Clowne in A Winter’s Tale, he moved on to working with Thomas Usher with Primestock.  The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon, Polaroids of Don, and Sex in the Afternoon led him to shows with the now defunct Kompany as well as Elope Theatre’s production of The Wiz as the Mean’ ole Lion.

It wasn’t until moving to Toronto and learning Improv from Bad Dog Theatre from several Canadian Comedy award winners that he figured out where he was truly happy, being onstage creating on the fly.

Upon returning to Alberta in late 2008 he met up with Jenna and Amy and joined the cast of Bull Skit.  Serge has performed at the Works Festival with the John Doefernow Experience, various comedy clubs in Calgary, The International Improv festival with the Improv guild, and to an empty bottle of Labatt 50.
