Often dubbed “The Queen of Comedy,” Naomi Snieckus is instantly recognizable as the hilarious phys. ed. teacher on CBC’s hit comedy, Mr. D. An alumnus of The Second City Toronto where she wrote and performed in numerous hit shows, her television and film credits also include appearances on The Trailer Park Boys, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Little Mosque on the Prairie, and Being Erica. Showcasing her trademark wit as an event emcee, stand-up comedian, improv-expert, or workshop leader, Snieckus pours enthusiasm and passion into every aspect of her work.

A recipient of many accolades and honours, Naomi holds two Canadian Comedy Awards and was nominated for an Actra Award in 2013 for her work in Mr.D. She is also a founding member and co-artistic director (with Matt Baram) of the five-time Canadian Comedy Award-winning troupe, The National Theatre of the World.

Client reviews

  • We were thrilled with Naomi.  She was able to connect beautifully with the audience of teachers.  She shared her own experiences as a student and her experiences as an instructor in improv workshops.  It all tied in perfectly to the purpose of our event. She compared improvisation to teaching and gave it a humorous twist but, also, provided a perspective that really resonated with the guests.  I have since heard many of the attendees referring to ‘problems’ as ‘gifts’!  We thank her for that.  In addition to her obvious talent, Naomi was also an amazing professional with a very centred, down-to-earth approach.  We loved her!

  • Naomi Snieckus is one of the funniest professionals you’ll meet. As an event host, she immediately draws the attention of the audience to the stage – and keeps it there, thanks to outstanding charisma and never-ending wit. Naomi understands, and can communicate business content very effectively, thanks to her attention pre-event planning and her keen ability to really listen – the mark of a true improv artist. Her improv skills also allow Naomi to be parachuted into nearly any event and adeptly hold high court. Looking forward to more events with Naomi at the helm. Smart. And hilarious.
