Luba Magnus is a comedian, writer, director, animator, and just wants to be outside.
Originally from small-town Port Colborne Ontario, Luba began performing stand-up comedy in Toronto in 2006, and she has since become a staple in Canada’s alt-comedy scene. Her debut stand-up album “Baba Luba” has received critical acclaim: NPR’s Bullseye With Jesse Thorn included it in their 2022 Stand-Up Comedy Spectacular, amongst renowned acts such as Tig Notaro, Roy Wood Jr., and Jen Kirkman, describing it as “enthusiastic, warm, and weird” and “one of the rare stand-up comedy acts that features botany… heavily!” Paste Magazine listed it #10 in their Best Comedy Albums of 2022, describing it as “equal parts clever and nonsensical with her creative wordplay”.
Luba has performed across Canada, was selected to perform in the 2019 SiriusXM “Top Comic Competition”, and she now calls Halifax, Nova Scotia home, where she has co-Headlined the Halifax Yuk Yuk’s comedy club, produced a show in the Halifax Fringe, and appears at venues across the East Coast.
Luba’s original content on social media has amassed nearly 4 Million views collectively, which has spawned the launch of the TV show “Nature’s Cool” on Bell FibeTV, in which Luba stars and directs. Also known for her comedic films and artwork, Luba’s creations have been seen on Funny or Die, CBC, Sesame Street, and won the 2021 Toronto Sketch Festival’s “Outstanding Comedy Short” award.
With her eclectic approach to comedy and content creation, as well as her passion for helping people laugh and learn, Luba Magnus is sure to delight.
