ABOUT VIZA

With a career now spanning over 18 years, VIZA is an experience unlike any other.

An avid critic and consumer of pop culture, she is full of opinions and isn't afraid to share them. Whether it’s about entertainment news, celebrity gossip, or clueless politicians, VIZA will always say what’s on her mind completely unfiltered but never untucked.

Dubbed Toronto’s Drag Queen Of Comedy (and sometimes Queen Of Mean), VIZA's stage career began in 2007 where she cut her teeth working microphones and stages in the Church-Wellesley Gay Village. It was during these early years of her career when she won several talent based pageants, including Woody's Queen Of Halloween, Zelda's Drag Idol, and Miss Crews & Tangos. She would later create, host and produce her own drag pageant, Funny Gurl, designed to showcase the comedic drag performers of Toronto.

In 2019, VIZA began exploring stages beyond the Village to focus on her passion for stand-up comedy. Since then she has been featured on CRAVE, CBC Gem, and SiriusXM. In 2025, she recorded and released her debut comedy album “VIZA: A (Semi) Legend In The Making”, a title paying tribute to one of her greatest inspirations, Joan Rivers. Later that year, she was selected to be featured on the JFL Toronto 2025 lineup where she recorded a set during the festival's show "Sessions".

In February 2026, VIZA was announced as one of fourteen comedians across Canada to film a stand-up set at JFL Vancouver as part of the seventh season of CBC's New Wave Of Stand-Up. This also marked the first time a drag performer had been featured on the show.

VIZA has had the privilege of opening for several major touring acts including Caroline Rhea, James Adomian, Kevin Sullivan, Zach Zimmerman, Nico Carney, Michael Henry, and Tim Murray.
