My comedy can be described as confessional and raw. My comedy album, About Time, was listed in the Top 10 Canadian Comedy Albums of 2022 (Glenn Sumi, Now Magazine) by a “Queer first-generation Canadian Disruptor” & “a rare talent” (Parton and Pearl) and “your new favourite non-binary, pansexual, South Asian, Muslim comedian” (CBC Arts)!
I've been on Just For Laughs Toronto, am Second City trained, and since 2012 have been producing hit shows such as Asian Comedy All-Stars, MuJew (A Muslim and Jewish comedy showcase), Gaysian Comedy All-Stars (the world’s FIRST all-Queer, all-Asian comedy showcase).

Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thank you so much for booking me! Everyone was so lovely, it was a pleasure performing for y'all. <3
~Funny, Fierce & Fabulous~ I’ve booked Rush more than once. Highly recommend that you do too!
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thank you!
Rush would often do The Joke Show a pro/am mic in Toronto that i co produced. Such a great story teller and always creative. I quote often one of the songs she pulled out one night...chorus "That's When I Get Ghosted". So great. And hustles like no other!!!
I booked Rush for an anniversary show in November 2022 at Comedy Bar, and they absolutely killed. The audience, which ranged from young queers to retired cops, were laughing the whole time. Rush was blast, and a pleasure to work with. Professional all the way, very supportive, and quick to answer. I hope we can do this again.
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thank you Steve! I wish I had recorded that set, it was so much fun!
Rush headlined a virtual presentation of my stand up comedy showcase, The T.O.ZoomShoom back during the pandemic lockdown. Since then, I have performed alongside Rush and had them back onto the show for in-person performances - and Rush is always an absolute professional. Hilarious, well-prepared, but also ready to pivot on a dime to the show's needs.
Book Rush - your show will be better off for it.
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thanks Ross! Can't wait to work with you again in February!
I worked with Rush for my conference and she definitely hit the stage! She is very talented, and her stories are hilarious! I look forward to working with her again, and she is number one!
She arrived at the venue at the exact time, her performance was totally related to our conference brand, and she was always responsible. Thank you, Rush! <3
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thank you Beren, it was an honour performing for the Let's Stop Aids' conference! 🙏🏼
Rush was the host and producer of a show at the Rivoli and she was so funny and engaging the audience LOVED her!
Hire her for any and everything you won't regret it!
I recently hired Rush to host our comedy show and I couldn't have been happier with their performance. Rush was professional, punctual, and most importantly, hilarious. Rush was also great at reading the room and adjusting the material to fit the audience's needs. I would highly recommend Rush for any event that needs a comedy host.
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thank you Alfred! Loved hosting for you guys
We booked Rush to headline and close out a unique comedy show geared towards nerd comedy in room meant for private events in a very-thematic board game café. Rush was able to balance her jokes between the venue, our audience, the theme of the show, whilst also showcasing herself and her own stories - all of which we and the audience found hilarious. Would definitely recommend Rush for any future shows!
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thanks Andy! Loved doing comedy at Stormcrow, and you and Evan make a great production team!
I booked Rush to perform at the Gala show of my recent festival The Far From Here Comedy Festival, she performed along side Marc Hallworth and Clif Knight opening for Jackie Kashian. She brought a high-energy hilarity to the room keeping the audience engaged and in laughs the entire time. I've been lucky enough to see Rush perform many times before and when I booked her for the show I knew she wouldn't disappoint and I was right. I would book her again in a heart beat for any event, each show is unique and funny with a wide range of material. A true pro!
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thank you so much Matthew!
We so enjoyed having Rush on Order Up!, a fun foodie podcast where we get into curious topics like Is Cereal Soup? Rush is a fantastic conversationalist, engaging and such fun to be around!!
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thank you very much Kelly! I'm glad that we have proven once and for all that cereal is NOT soup.
Rush is a triple threat! I have found her to be an excellent promoter, curator and performer during my time working with her at the Rivoli. The strength of her comedy is based on the unique insights she pulls from her own life and the day-to-day grinds we all endure. Whether you're looking for something safe for all audiences or something a little spicier, Rush has you covered. If you're looking for someone to put together a comedy show for you, Rush brings high level talent and a well-behaved crowd that like to have a good time. Do your future self a favour and get Rush onboard with your plans. You'll be glad you did!
Response from Rush Kazi - Rushzilla Productions:
Thank you very much Brendan! Always a joy working with you!
Rush Kazi has unique, hilarious stories that keep you locked in. They can improvise great material if something happens during a show as well as remember how to give excellently constructed narratives. Rush is reliable, a good communicator, compassionate, able to communicate directly and efficiently. If you need a headliner Rush is your person. If you need a comedian you can rely on Rush is your person. Booked them for 3 gigs and couldn't regret that at all.

I am not only a stand up comedian, but a very experienced producer of stand up, sketch, and musical comedy shows. I can also be hired to host your improv shows, karaoke nights, or any sort of games nights such as trivia or bingo, or whatever you would want a funny host for! You can expect a host that is on time, and is charming and can keep the flow of a show, karaoke night, or game night moving well.
