Quick Dick McDick
Dickson Delorme (born in 1982[1]), best known by his stage name Quick Dick McDick, is a Canadian farmer, comedian, and YouTuber. He is based in Saskatchewan and produces videos about Canadian politics and farming issues.
Early life
[edit]Delorme was born in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan to a father who worked for the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration.[2] When Delorme was four years old, his family moved to Foam Lake, Saskatchewan.[2]
Career
[edit]Delorme works as a farmer, based in Tuffnell, Saskatchewan.[3][4] He previously worked in Albertan oil fields in Brooks and Grande Prairie, mostly as a self-employed truck operator.[2]
His Small Town Comedy Tour toured Saskatchewan in 2021.[5][6]
He uses the pseudonym Quick Dick McDick on his YouTube channel, where he has over 130,000 subscribers.[4][7] The channel includes content about farm safety, mental health, and charitable fundraising.[2][8]
In April 2021, he satirically made a bid to be the governor general of Canada,[9] and in 2022, he shaved off his beard to raise funds for the "Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer" event.[7]
His 2022 video purportedly about fertiliser sales restrictions in Canada was criticised by Jesse Brown on his Canadaland podcast.[10] Brown stated that Delorme's video headline, "The Canadian Fertilizer Ban," implied that there was a fertiliser ban in Canada, despite the video stating that there was no such ban.[10]
