LORNE ELLIOTT

Canadian born, LORNE ELLIOTT has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. The outcome of such training is a very special show of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, up-lifting and foolish enough to make everybody laugh.

Lorne has performed his one-man show in theatres and clubs and opened concerts for Rodney Dangerfield in New York City and Jay Leno in Montreal. He has made regular appearances at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival since it started in 1986: each time his segments were selected for TV Specials, thanks to their universal quality. In Canada and the U.S. he has appeared on numerous talk shows and variety shows.

Along with his unique and wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his material, together with his keen observations of today's trends that make Lorne's work so special.

As well as being a humourist, storyteller and musician, Lorne is also a playwright. One of his plays, "The Night the Racoons Went Berserk", won Best New Play Award at the Quebec Drama Festival 1983. He also writes screenplays and TV Comedies, skits, revues, Comedy Variety shows such as "What Else Is On" and "The Lorne Elliott's Really Rather Quite Half-Decent TV Special" for CBC-TV.

Lorne is probably best known for his wonderful CBC Radio series, "Madly Off In All Directions", which ran nationally for 11 seasons.

The man is hilarious!
