Early life
Bainborough had originally registered to begin pre-med, but switched majors and earned a degree in the Fine Arts from the University of Alberta in Edmonton. He began working in regional theatre, until he co-wrote and performed in Paper Wheat with the 25th Street House Players in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1973. Paper Wheat was a play about the effect of free trade on farmers. Shortly after Paper Wheat, Bainborough began working with The Second City in Edmonton, later moving to Toronto. He remained a member of the Second City Company from 1984 to 1990. In 1987, he won the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Revue or Musical, and in 1990, he directed for the Mainstage Wing of the Second City Company. After his run with Second City, Bainborough worked as a creative director, commercial voice over performer and writer for corporate communications. During this time he also worked on other projects, such as a weekly radio appearance on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Dayshift series called The Neighbours, the CBC pilot 110 Lombard St., and the radio show Bob Normal and the Forces of Chaos, which later aired on Toronto’s The Fan 590, which he wrote, produced and performed.
