My guest today is a comedian, writer, actor and Keynote Speaker based out of Vancouver British Columbia. She’s appeared at the Ha!ifax Comedy Festival, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and Just For Laughs on countless occasions. And when I say that, I mean it literally. I genuinely couldn’t count. I’m estimating that she’s made between 20-30 TV appearances at those festivals combined. Which is absolutely staggering. One of those was with Wanda Sykes in Montreal a few years ago.

She’s a two time Leo Award winner, a 2 time Canadian comedy award nominee and one of her awards is for being a writer on the Gemini awards. She’s also lended her writing talents to Corner Gas Animated and Mr. D.

She’s a favourite on CBC’s the Debaters, appearing on over 50 episodes of the show. She’s also performed in the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Iceland and Afghanistan where she recorded the CBC show Stand Up in Kandahar.

She was a finalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition, she’s made numerous appearances on the hit podcast, Stop Podcasting Yourself. You can catch her in the SNOWED IN COMEDY TOUR which is the biggest comedy tour in the country. It’s been running for sixteen years and played in 70 cities this last year.

It’s…ERICA SIGURDSON!
