Funny Business comedy booking agency / Ian Sirota

Ian Sirota has opened for Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Gaffigan, Dennis Miller, Robin Williams, and Dana Carvey and headlines comedy clubs across North America. Ian was a regular cast member and writer for Comedy Inc., Comedy Now, Gutterball Alley, and many more! Ian has been nominated for not one but two Gemini Awards including “Best Comedy Performance”

Ian’s famous hoax on Jerry Springer was recently named the 50th funniest moment in Canadian Comedy History by SiriusXM Radio. Number 50 out of the top 150 in history.. not too shabby.

This sharp-tongued comedian takes no prisoners and can also blend in observational humour with a family focus all the while mastering the audience with lightning crowd work.

A perfect fit for any fundraiser or corporate event, Ian has been a regular contributor to Dynamic Funds Humour Me Comedy Competition. The event turns Canada’s biggest CEOs into stand-up comedians all to raise money for charity. To date, the event has raised over 8 million and Ian’s students include Mayor Jon Tory of Toronto who took home the trophy with Ian in 2017.

Client Remarks:
"Thanks again for a great show. The entire Engineered Assemblies and Praxy team truly enjoyed laughing and getting laughed at throughout your set. Thank you for your direction in getting the most out of the crowd; it turned out really well." -Engineered Assemblies

"Ian... We wish to thank you for doing an exceptional job with about as tough an audience as you will ever meet. As you found out the audience was certainly varied and many of them very conservative by nature. Additionally I really appreciated your taking on the master of ceremonies duties and you performed exceptionally well with this task. It certainly shows your versatility and ability to think fast on your feet. To have you interject humour with such varied topics as you did certainly places your abilities at a high level indeed." - Blue Line Expo

"Just wanted to say thanks! Ian was a hit at our event on Saturday... everyone left with a huge smile on their face!" - Alano Social Committee
