Alex Mackenzie has been described as a happiness cheerleader. “A genuinely funny man with a sincere desire to spread happiness,” says Stage Whispers Australia. Born and raised in Prince George, BC, Mackenzie has always carried a positive outlook and a natural gift for making people laugh. In 2019, he quit his six-figure job as a power engineer and instrumentation mechanic, sold his house, and moved into an RV with his dog Finley to chase his stand-up comedy dream.
Since then, Mackenzie has become an international sensation, performing to sold-out crowds across Canada, Australia, and beyond. He has showcased his comedy at the prestigious Melbourne Comedy Festival and is the host of the popular Hungry for Laughs Comedy Tour. With over 100 million views online, his quick wit and magnetic stage presence have earned him a rapidly growing global fan base.
Mackenzie has released two acclaimed comedy specials: An Experiment Called Life (2023), picked up by Amazon Prime in the US and UK, and Happy Camper (2025), his newest hour of stand-up that captures his signature mix of crowd work, positivity, and big laughs.
What sets Mackenzie apart is the way his shows feel less like performances and more like hanging out with your best friend. His crowd work makes every night unique, pulling the audience into the experience and creating a sense of community in the room. You may not remember every punchline the next day—but you will remember how the show made you feel. And that feeling is simple: happy.
Known for his infectious energy and down-to-earth personality, Mackenzie has built a reputation as one of Canada’s must-see comedians. Wherever he goes, he leaves audiences laughing, smiling, and carrying a little more joy than they had when they walked in.
