Who Is Katherine Levac? New Details On The Comic From 'Comedians Of The World' On Netflix
She's from Canada.
youtube Comedians of the World on Netflix features 47 comedians from all over the globe, including places like Germany, the UK, India, and South Africa. And luckily, Netflix provides subtitles for all the 30-minute stand-up sets so English-speaking individuals can understand! So, why not step out of your comfort zone and watch a routine from a French-speaking comedian?
Katherine Levac offers her audience something different, aside from doing stand-up in French. She’s currently touring around Canada and France, but just because you don’t speak her language, that doesn’t mean you can’t reap the benefits of her comedy.
But just who is Katherine Levac? To get a better understanding of her personal life, here are 5 details to know about her.
1. She’s from Canada.
Levac grew up in Ontario and attended a Catholic high school. Once she graduated, she attended the University of Ottawa and received a BA in French Literature.
She graduated from The National School of Humor in 2013, which is “a private non-profit educational institution... offering professional training to creators who wish to specialize in the field of humor, as comedians, or authors.”
2. She hasn't been in the comedy game very long.
She competed in the Just For Laughs gala, winning the finale. She’s been a presenter for Zoofest, May West Champagne, and Kat and Jay. She’s also appeared as part of the show Next 5. In addition, she won the 2015 Discovery of the Year trophy for the Les Olivier Gala, becoming the first woman in the category to win.
3. She’s appeared on television.
She’s perhaps most known for appearing on Ego Trip, Julien Lacroix, and Like-moi!. She’s also been on Saturday Night Live: Quebec.
4. She has a boyfriend.
Though she tends to stay private with her relationship, the two post about one another on their respective social media accounts. His name is Jay Du Temple, and they look extremely happy together!
5. She’s adamant about her favorite animal.
It’s the Canada Lynx, of course. She states on her own website [translated]:
“This absolutely majestic carnivore feeds mostly on snowshoe hares, like 200 per year. Sorry, hares. He lives in the forests of Canada, Alaska and the northern United States. It is an animal that comes out especially at night; that’s why we never see him at the Biodôme... Canada Lynx is my favorite pet because its huge hairy legs and silvery coat make me want to go after my dreams.”
