The 2nd Canadian Comedy Awards, presented by the Canadian Comedy Foundation for Excellence (CCFE), honoured the best live, television, and film comedy of 2000 and was held in April 2001 at The Guvernment in Toronto, Ontario.[1] The ceremony was hosted by Sheila McCarthy and Patrick McKenna and was televised[1] by The Comedy Network.

Canadian Comedy Awards, also known as Beavers, were awarded in 19 categories. Winners were picked by members of ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists), the Writers Guild of Canada, the Directors Guild of Canada, and the Comedy Association.[2]

The TV series This Hour Has 22 Minutes led with six nominations followed by Made in Canada with five, and the films Best in Show, New Waterford Girl and Waydowntown with four apiece.[3] The big winners were Best in Show and This Hour Has 22 Minutes which each received three Beavers, followed by The Second City Mainstage which won for best sketch troupe and best improv troupe.[2]
