After growing up the sleepy town of Lunenburg, Bryn Pottie moved to bustling Toronto in his late teens and joined the local sketch comedy community. He wrote and performed for sold out crowds in the 6ix (then known as T Dot), travelled across North America, appearing in festivals such as Austin Sketchfest, Toronto Fringe and Just For Laughs.

He wrote on the TV series Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs for two seasons, directed several plays and wrote and starred in a number of experimental web series, short films and the occasional commercial. In the mid 2020s, Bryn returned to Nova Scotia's South Shore, where he still resides. The Great Lunenburglary is Bryn's debut novel, and a love letter to his home.  Below are some of Bryn's proudest non-book related achievements.
