Kurtis Conner on Tour
Canadian comedian, podcaster, YouTube sensation and songwriter Kurtis Conner can now add national headliner to his resume. As he kicks off Kurtis Conner On Tour in 2022, expect this sell-out performer to bring his funniest material yet to the stage. Conner's oh-so-relatable brand of comedy featuring his trademark critiques of everything from popular products to pop culture, and songs like the hilariously catchy "Pinocchio Diss Track," will have fans clutching their sides. And Conner is bringing reinforcements to make sure every show is hysterical from the time the doors open to the last joke. The live show will feature Conner's "Very Really Good" podcast co-hosts Dean Hebscher and Jacob Sharpe.
Kurtis Conner Live
Kurtis Conner was born in Toronto, Ontario, in 1994, where he later performed his first stand-up shows and studied comedy writing and performance at Humber College. In 2014, he had amassed around 350,000 followers on the viral, yet short-lived, Vine app. Although Vine was destined to disappear, Conner used the recognition he had gained online to start a YouTube channel and begin touring stand-up shows all over Canada in 2014. By 2016, he had released his debut stand-up record Cuppla Jokes, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard Comedy chart and No. 1 on iTunes. Conner's YouTube fans can't seem to get enough of his characteristic thoughtful irreverence and wacky video editing techniques. As of 2022, his YouTube channel has over 3.9 million followers, and his clips frequently hit the Top 10 trending page. While most of his videos are lighthearted critiques of movies or popular trends, he has resonated with fans for occasionally taking a stand against offensive or problematic online content. In 2019, he gained recognition for calling out a pair of TikTok stars for jokingly portraying domestic violence situations, and he ended up raising $26,000 for domestic violence awareness.
