She attended Strathcona High School and later graduated from the University of Alberta. In 2014, Gilroy earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Gilroy, she didn&#8217;t particularly enjoy school and always looked for an opportunity to perform for an audience. From a young age, Lisa began inventing complex stories about the women in yogurt commercials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Career_Development\"><\/span>Career Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.edmontonski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/06\/ad_4nxcrmudwfl_lpgnkd8x1wgruijjobc6zibth8vrznl1omq6jc77rurejj9buge4b-q_9pdhljjfw5pymzfrxpik1mpum8u8wl68c9nazdhsfkjxg2bcnzhz2bni27idiuczu2b7ndakeyprrgngj7e1mdqbmhaapmpw.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately after graduating from university, Gilroy moved to Toronto, where she began hosting the program &#8216;The Zone&#8217; on YTV. She got there by chance. After her friends asked for help with an audition video, Gilroy decided to try out herself, although she didn&#8217;t expect to win. At the time, she was working part-time at a Harry Potter exhibition. When she got a callback from the TV channel, she simply couldn&#8217;t believe it was possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young woman was sure she would return to Edmonton soon, but it turned out to be the start of a major career. After some time, Gilroy also began acting in television series. She appeared in &#8216;Air Farce,&#8217; &#8216;The Beaverton,&#8217; and &#8216;Undercover High.&#8217; In addition, she joined the theatre group &#8216;The Second City Toronto.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After achieving great success in Toronto, Gilroy decided to move to Los Angeles, where she began performing with various improv groups. In 2022, Vulture named Gilroy one of the &#8216;Comedians You Should and Will Know.&#8217; And at the &#8216;Just for Laughs&#8217; comedy festival in Montreal, she was named a &#8216;New Face of Comedy.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gilroy gained a lot of attention for her funny social media videos, which garnered tons of views. On Instagram alone, Gilroy has over 300,000 followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While at university, Lisa had a rather simple dream \u2013 to teach high school drama in Edmonton, but fate decided to make her a big star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Activities\"><\/span>Other Activities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gilroy is a frequent guest on podcasts. For example, on <em>Comedy Bang! Bang!<\/em>. She has also appeared on &#8216;TigerBelly&#8217; and &#8216;Whiskey Ginger.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lisa Gilroy sometimes acts in television series. She appeared in the hit Netflix series &#8216;Glamorous,&#8217; as well as the Hulu series &#8216;Interior Chinatown&#8217; and the Comedy Central animated series &#8216;Golden Axe.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, Gilroy hosted the 13th Canadian Screen Awards ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_Lisa_Special\"><\/span>What Makes Lisa Special<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lisa Gilroy has a strong personality that has helped her achieve success. She skillfully transforms into her characters and invests a ton of energy into each role. Her facial expressions, intonations, and gestures are an integral part of her &#8216;explosive&#8217; performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lisa has mastered a wide range of comedic forms: from various &#8216;maniacally expressive&#8217; improvisations to subtle psychological humour. In her short videos, she can make the audience laugh to tears in just a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wonderful complement to Lisa&#8217;s charisma and humour is her appearance. She has a &#8216;girl-next-door&#8217; look, but at the same time is so beautiful that it&#8217;s hard to look away. In her comedy sketches, she often satirizes &#8216;ideals,&#8217; which adds even more to her charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young woman loves her hometown very much and always says, &#8220;The fact that I&#8217;m from Edmonton, really helps to ground me in a good way.&#8221; She never expected to have so much fame. Gilroy says that her journey has been &#8220;100 percent unexpected, 100 percent exciting&#8221; for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisa Gilroy is a Canadian comedian, actress, and blogger from Edmonton, known for her viral videos on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
