She has also just filmed her first TV series, The Canoe Project, and will back in season two as an actor and a writer for the series.
Frost’s style of comedy has been described as having “the quality of a satanic revival meeting” and “among the most daring comedians in Canada” by the Toronto Star. He recently worked on the Murdoch Mysteries 2018 Halloween special, Pay The Ghost with Nicolas Cage and in season two of the television show Mr. D on CBC.
Frost has also acted in Hollywood films like Hairspray, Assault On Precinct 13 and Fever Pitch and appeared in over 50 commercials and voiced characters in multiple cartoons.
