Lorne Elliott

"How's your hair?" tends to be Lorne Elliott's opening question for his audience. You've got to see him to understand just how hilarious that question is. Elliott's a tall, lanky, elastic man with hair that looks like he's got his finger stuck in a toaster.

His comedy is about Canadians for Canadians, and he's the type of artist that both a five-year old and a 105-year old can giggle at without being offended or confused.

This is because Elliott specializes in the silliness of being human-something everyone can relate to. He's been performing on stage for over 20 years, has opened for Rodney Dangerfield and Jay Leno, and is a fixture at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal. In addition, he's an accomplished musician and songwriter, an award-winning playwright and an expert comedian. He integrates physical, musical and stand-up comedy so seamlessly that any moment not filled with laughter will be spent marvelling at his ingenious talent.
