Ian Sirota

This two time Gemini nominee is a force to be reckoned with. Nominated for best comedy performance, this sharp-tongued comedian takes no prisoners. He can take a one-word answer and turn it into a fifteen-minute farce. He’s smart, funny and his improv skills are considered among the best. Ian’s stand-up ranges from: observational, to self-deprecating, to one-liners and always with the audience in mind. “People want to be part of the show and it’s my job to do that, but never at anyone’s expense. It’s all in good fun and everyone leaves with a smile on his or her face."

Jake Mckinnon of Bravo magazine described Ian as, “A cross between Denis Leary and Don Rickles.” Ian has toured extensively across Canada and the United States. In New York, he regularly frequented the stages of “Stand-up New York” and “Caroline’s”. Ian has performed and written for comedy shows on the Comedy network and CTV; Comedy Inc, Nikki Payne’s Fun Hour, and The Jon Dore show are among his many credits. He also had his own Comedy Now special on CTV. Other highlights include: Gutterball Alley (Comedy Network), Sketch.COM (CBC), and opening for the likes of Norm Macdonald, Dennis Leary, Robin Williams etc…

Ian’s a chameleon who is able to get the most out of an audience whether it be a corporate event, a fund raiser or a holiday party.
