The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Stephen Surjik is a Canadian film and television director who studied at Concordia University before working in art direction and production design. He moved into television comedy as a director on The Kids in the Hall, helping translate the troupe’s character-driven stage and sketch work into filmed television.

Surjik directed Wayne’s World 2, the sequel built around Mike Myers and Dana Carvey’s Saturday Night Live characters. His later directing work spans comedy, crime, and fantasy, including Little Criminals, Weapons of Mass Distraction, Daredevil, The Punisher, The Umbrella Academy, and The Witcher. These projects extend his career well beyond his early sketch-comedy work.
