CTV Comedy Now! performance

“Erica’s observational humour is fresh, insightful and hilarious.”

Erica’s first exposure to stand-up was watching Johnny Carson and while she didn’t decide right at the moment to be a comic, the seed had been planted in her seven-year old mind. After watching the comedian perform, Erica wrote her first joke: “What can a person in a wheelchair never be”?
“A stand-up comic.”

With performances from The Montreal Just for Laughs Festival the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival, taping her own Comedy Now! special, writing a Comedy Network pilot and writing and performing numerous times for CBC Radio and XFM radio and most notably being awarded a Leo for Best Screenwriting for the 21st Annual Gemini Awards, Erica has been unstoppable.

Since entering the stand-up scene in the summer of 2000, her charm, wit and hilarious stand-up comedy have won her fans across North America as well as the respect of her peers and interest from industry.

In 2007 and 2008, Erica was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award for Best Female Stand-up in Canada. And again, in 2007 she was featured in CBC’s special “Stand Up in Kandahar”, which was filmed live in Afghanistan.

Most recently has been writing on the new CBC hit Mr. D – which has been receiving rave reviews across Canada.
