Clayton T. Stewart

In Loving Memory of Clayton: Clayton was a proud Ojibwe and Treaty member of Peguis First Nation, a gifted performer, and most importantly, a dear friend. His humor, kindness, and larger-than-life spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He shared his talent across Canada and the United States, bringing laughter to stages in Los Angeles, New York, Hawaii, and many communities in between. Audiences loved him both as a stand-up comic and as his unforgettable vaudeville-style magic character, “Clayton The Great,” where he amazed, shocked, and delighted crowds with his one-of-a-kind style. Clayton also appeared in film and television, with roles in Goon, Sorry For Your Loss, Less Than Kind, Todd & The Book of Pure Evil, and Cashing In. Whether on stage or on screen, he had a natural ability to make people feel joy. Sadly and tragically, Clayton lost his life in a house fire in December 2025. His passing is a tremendous loss to the comedy and performance community, and an even greater loss to those who knew and loved him. He was our friend, our colleague, and someone who brought light into the lives of others simply by being himself. We keep Clayton here in honor of the laughter he gave, the culture he proudly represented, and the memories he created with us and with audiences everywhere. He may be gone, but his spirit, stories, and laughter will always remain part of our journey. Rest in peace, Gentle Giant.
