Everyone in Canada knows Elvira Kurt as the host of The Comedy Network's "Popcultured!", but there's so much more to her...

The Second City Alumnus has had many years of comedic success in Canada and the U.S. Elvira has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and her comedy specials have aired on Comedy Central, HBO, Showtime, CTV, CBC and The Comedy Network.

A native of Toronto, Elvira Kurt was voted Funniest Female Comic at the Canadian Comedy Awards and received a Gemini-nomination for her one-hour comedy special Elvira Kurt: I'm A Big Girl Now. The special also nabbed the Gold Award at the Worldfest International Film Festival. Kurt starred in The Comedy Network series, Elvira Kurt: Adventures in Comedy, has performed live in the Vagina Monologues and most recently hosted Cream of Comedy 2004 for The Comedy Network. However, despite the accolades and mainstream success, Elvira always enjoys doing live shows, especially at Toronto’s Buddies in Bad Times Theatre for, as her mother calls them, "da gays."

One of North America’s hottest college acts, Elvira Kurt has been nominated as both U.S. College Comedian and Entertainer of the Year. With over 300 shows to her name, there is still no end in sight. In her spare time, Kurt performs at clubs all over North America including The Improv, The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, Caroline’s, Comic Strip Live, Catch A Rising Star and Stand Up New York. She’s also played The House of Blues in LA and appears regularly in Las Vegas.

No slouch in the writing department, Kurt contributed to the CBS pilot and HBO special for Ellen DeGeneres and has written for This Hour Has 22 Minutes and various awards shows.

And she does it all without caffeine!
