Jan Caruana's career has been interesting and varied. A multiple Canadian Comedy Award winner, Jan is a mainstay of Toronto stages, best known for her quick mind and quicker wit as an improviser. Jan was a cast member of "One Night Only", a fully improvised two-act musical at Factory Theatre and was part of the Off-Broadway workshop production in 2018. She also won a Dora Award as part of the ensemble for "The Wonder Pageant". She has appeared in films and television shows including Baroness Von Sketch, Rookie Blue, Odd Squad, Mean Girls, Pretty Hard Cases and Kim's Convenience.

Jan is a Canadian Screen Award nominated writer for her work on City TV's Sunnyside and the YTV youth sketch show That's So Weird, creating some of the series most memorable and colourful characters. She is also very proud to have written for The Baroness Von Sketch Show, The Happy House of Frightenstein and the international sensation The Next Step on BBCKids.
