About Rush
I'm a 15-year veteran of stand-up comedy with sketch, improv, and stand-up comedy training with Second City and other comedy institutions within the Toronto area.
I've opened for/performed alongside Scott Thompson (Kids In The Hall), Jackie Kashian, Mark Forward, Gina Yashere, and Alingon Mitra (just to name a few acts), and my first album was listed as one of the Top Ten Canadian Comedy Albums by legendary Canadian comedy critic Glen Sumi in 2022.
In 2025, I, along with my roast partner, were awarded a Roastie from the International Roast Battle League in the best newcomer category, making us the first Torontonians to ever win in this category!
I have a comedy special streaming on Amazon Prime/OUTtv, two CBC radio specials, and am currently working on my second full-length comedy album for international release.

Rush is an experienced comedian who over the years has mentored many newer comics, particularly with her monthly show, Asian Comedy All-Stars. Her knowledge of both the craft and the business side of comedy, along with her encouraging demeanor, makes her a fabulous, friendly resource for anyone looking to learn more about comedy!
Rush is a tireless and able tutor. Rush brings decades of experience that will directly translate to being prepared for the public and administrative aspects of becoming a public figure. Rush is also a capable event organizer who arranged a show for our team as part of a community event. Rush was able to take on the event, onboard performers, and complete the event under budget while performing.
I highly recommend Rush Kazi as a comedy instructor on Superprof. Rush is a Toronto-based comedian with over a decade of experience performing stand-up, sketch, and musical comedy. They’ve appeared at major festivals like JFL42 and the Toronto Fringe, are Second City trained, and regularly produce and host comedy shows—so they understand comedy from both the performer and mentor perspective. Rush is thoughtful, inclusive, and great at breaking comedy down into practical, confidence-building skills for students at any level.

I’ve known Rush as a Stand Up and Friend for nearly 15 years.
She’s always produced and performed on shows that have done well with Toronto audiences.
She has learned by doing, spending years honing her craft. She would have lots to teach, to share.View more recommendations
