Kerry Talmage (March 23, 1963 – June 17, 2004) was a Canadian comedian and actor, who developed a cult following in South Africa. He suffered with diabetes and was continually battling the disease through his life. Talmage found comedy accidentally through a defense mechanism he would use when being taunted in school due to his short height. His first time on stage was on a dare during a joke contest in his hometown of Winnipeg, to which he won beer for his routine and was subsequently taken on by an agent in the crowd, who got him his first gig. rdf:langString

Through most of his career, he struggled with his health, including pancreatitis and underwent a kidney transplant before later contracting cancer on one of his original kidneys. He credited comedy with keeping him alive despite his health challenges and noted in the late 1990s that he didn't think he'd have been alive by then if it weren't for his comedy career. He died in June 2004 of kidney disease.
