Lorne Elliott

Lorne Elliott

Lorne Elliott is a Canadian comedian, musician, and award-winning playwright, best known as the host of the CBC Radio program "Madly Off in All Directions" for 11 years. The "Montreal Mirror" has described him as a "national treasure" [ [http://www.montrealmirror.com/2005/060905/hsg9.html Theatre: Boards a-Burning] ] .

Elliot first began performing in 1974, as a folk musician, under his full name of Chris Lorne Elliott; he later truncated his name so as to avoid being confused with Chris Elliott.
