Ian Sirota is a Canadian stand-up and sketch comedian, who was a cast member of the television sketch series Comedy Inc. in the 2000s. A native of Montreal, Quebec, Sirota began his comedy career as a solo stand-up comedian, before becoming known as a member of the stage sketch troupe The Blockheads with Mimi Holmes, Johnny Gardhouse and Suzanne Muir. The troupe gained their first widespread publicity in 1995 when they pranked talk show host Jerry Springer, appearing on an episode devoted to the theme "My Husband Slept With the Babysitter" by pretending to be people in that situation but in fact essentially improvising their dialogue. Springer subsequently sued the troupe to recoup the cost of producing the ruined episode, but the suit was settled out of court.
