Who Laura Leibow is
Laura Leibow is a Toronto stand-up comedian with a witty, laid-back style and a signed Yuk Yuks comic who has played JFL42, She Devil, the Icebreakers Comedy Festival and the Kitchener-Waterloo Comedy Festival, as well as the Improv and Micky's in Los Angeles and Gotham and the Broadway Comedy Club in New York.
She was one of the 14 comics on the third season of The New Wave of Standup, the Just For Laughs Vancouver and CBC series on CBC Gem, edits the comedy website UNoriginal and hosted The Canadian Jewish News podcast Shticks & Giggles, talking with Jewish comics about what being a Jewish comic means today.
