Irina Voronina

Irina Voronina, originally from Dzerzhinsk, Russia, made a significant mark in the entertainment industry after relocating to the United States, where she was honored as Playboy's Miss January 2001. Growing up in the Soviet Union, the idea of leaving her homeland seemed distant, but Irina seized the chance to pursue modeling in Europe, eventually settling in Milan before moving to the US to further her career.

Irina's modeling success is evident, with her image gracing the covers and pages of prominent publications such as Maxim, FHM, and Kandy. She has also appeared in commercials and print campaigns for renowned brands like Bacardi, Miller Lite, and Michelob. In 2008, she was selected as the St. Pauli Girl Spokes Model, participating in a 12-city media tour across the United States. A celebrated figure in the modeling world, she is a three-time cover girl for Kandy Magazine and was named its Model of the Year in 2013.

Transitioning into comedy, Irina debuted as the ‘funny foreign girl’ in the film Reno 911!: Miami. Her comedic talent led to roles in various films such as Balls of Fury and Piranha 3DD, as well as notable television appearances on shows like iCarly and 13 Reasons Why. Irina's stand-up career showcases her unique perspective on life in the USSR, her experiences as an international model, and relatable anecdotes. She performs regularly at top comedy venues in Los Angeles and was featured in multiple comedy festivals in 2018. Her stand-up debut on Amazon Prime's Laugh After Dark Season 2 was set for release in August 2019.
