Biography

Kira Soltanovich is a multifaceted talent, boasting a diverse repertoire of skills as a comedian, actress, and writer. Her most notable achievement is her nearly nine-year tenure as a correspondent on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where she became an integral part of the show's longest-running comedy piece, the Phony Photo Booth, which did not feature Jay Leno.

Kira has showcased her stand-up comedy skills through two separate hour-long specials: Here Comes Trouble on Showtime and You Did This To Me on Amazon. Her impressive resume also includes being the sidekick to host Donald Faison on the Netflix game show Winsanity, as well as recurring appearances on several FOX television shows, including Punchline and The Drama.

In addition to her television work, Kira has been a series regular on two seasons of TruTV's How To Be A Grownup and shot two seasons of the Facebook series The Turndown, which was shot exclusively in a bed. She is currently a stand-up comic on Lights Out with David Spade on Comedy Central, a role that has earned her a large following.

Kira's extensive television credits also include being a series regular on the hidden camera show Girls Behaving Badly for four seasons. She has been featured on various networks, including NBC's Last Comic Standing, Nickelodeon, and the Disney network. Her unique claim to fame is when Hell's Kitchen made her the "prize" for the winning team of chefs, who were treated to a night out at The Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip.

Kira has performed at the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal multiple times and was the 2018 winner of the Big Sky Comedy Festival in Montana. One of her most notable accomplishments is writing jokes for the late Joan Rivers on the television series How'd You Get So Rich? on TV Land.

Currently, Kira is working on writing and producing her own talk show, Let's Get Sweat!, which takes place inside a sauna. The show features celebrity comedians being interviewed while fully naked in a blazing hot sauna. Kira is also preparing to record a new one-hour comedy album with 800 Pound Gorilla Records.
