She’s hot off her daily series on the Comedy Network’s “PopCultured w/Elvira Kurt.” she’s the “Jon Stewart” of the popular show that skews pop culture in the states and Canada. The immensely popular Elvira Kurt (that’s el-veera), voted Funniest Female Comic at the Canadian Comedy Awards, continues her modest quest for worldwide comedy domination with a hit series, "Elvira Kurt: Adventures in Comedy", on Canada's Comedy Network, 2 specials on Comedy Central and the animated series, "Reality Chick", on the Oxygen Network, for which she is the voice of the title character, an eight months pregnant feminist superhero. As for film and theater, Elvira has performed in 'The Vagina Monologues' and is profiled and showcased in a documentary called 'We're Funny That Way' seen on HBO. Her successful one woman show, 'Viva Elvira!', has debuted in LA and Toronto. As a Second City alumna, Elvira's training has served her well. Her Gemini (Emmy) nominated hour long special, 'Big Girl Now', also nabbed the Gold Award at the Worldfest International Film Festival and she's had stand out appearances on HBO, VH-1's 'The List', Showtime, A&E, PBS, Lifetime, two CBC Comedy Specials, pilots for CBC and Second City and countless special and guest appearances, hosting and co-hosting on various benefits, comedy, awards and talk shows. Not surprisingly, Elvira's universal appeal has also made her one of the hottest and most in demand college acts in the country. She's been nominated as both U.S. College Comedian and Entertainer of the Year. Over 200 shows and there's still no end in sight. No slouch in the writing department, Elvira has contributed to the CBS pilot and HBO special for Ellen DeGeneres, written for Canada's #1 comedy show, 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' and all the Canadian award shows (Film, Television, Music and of course, Hockey) one of which was nominated for a Gemini (Emmy) for best writing. Elvira's already gone multi-media, as an on-line reporter for Fred Willard's Internet coverage of Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival and has put out 2 CD's, 'Kitten With A Wit' and 'Live From Las Vegas'. She's straddled the globe with television shows on the BBC in England as well as in Australia and New Zealand with sold out concert shows everywhere she goes. And she does it all without caffeine.
