Biography

Liana Kerzner was born in 1978 in Toronto, Ontario. When her parents divorced she moved with her mother and sister to Knoxville, Tennessee, then Athens, Georgia, before returning to Toronto. She briefly studied English literature and anthropology at York University.

Career

She began dating Steven Kerzner in 1995, after they met in a bar. In 1997 she dropped out of university, when she was hired for behind-the-scenes work on Ed's Night Party with Kerzner, whom she married in 1999. He named her his co-producer and co-head writer of Night Party and by 2004 she joined Ed the Sock, voiced by her husband, to become the first female co-host on the show, which was renamed Ed & Red's Night Party for what would become its final season. Kerzner was also involved in many of Ed the Sock's other media projects, including the annual Fromage specials and Smartass: The Ed the Sock Report, both shown on the Canadian cable television music and variety show television channel MuchMusic.

She wrote the Accidental Comics series Ed and Red's Comic Strip (in which she appears in both photographs and art), and has appeared at a number of comic book and science fiction fan conventions to promote the comic and Ed's Night Party. From the fall of 2009 to September 2010, Liana and Steven Kerzner were the hosts of the weekly radio show Sunday Nights with Liana and Steven (also known as Steven & Liana) on Newstalk 1010 in Toronto. After two years off the air, Ed the Sock returned to TV on CHCH-DT with a new show This Movie Sucks! which is similar to his old show on Citytv, Ed's Nite In, which is once again co-hosted by Liana K and features comedian Ron Sparks. The show lasted two seasons and a total of 15 episodes. In 2012, Ed the Sock and Liana K returned on CHCH with the short-lived series I Hate Hollywood. They have not had another series on network TV since this series was cancelled by CHCH.

Liana K wrote about video games and the video game industry for Metaleater, and has written as a video game critic for 411MANIA and GamingExcellence, also writing about tabletop and live-action role-playing games. She has also been a contributor for other gaming outlets, such as Gameranx and Polygon.

According to Kerzner, she also previously worked as a convention "booth babe". She co-edited science fiction and fantasy short story collection Wrestling with Gods: Tesseracts Anthology #18 with Jerome Stueart in 2014.

Fandom activities and private life

Kerzner has been a guest and presenter at several comic book and science fiction events across Canada, usually appearing dressed in character-based cosplay costumes. She and Ed the Sock were named co-hosts of the 2007 Constellation Awards. She also organized and hosted the Aurora Awards ceremony at the 67th World Science Fiction Convention in 2009. She was a co-founder of Toronto's annual science fiction convention Futurecon in 2010 and chaired it until it ceased to exist in 2012. It was also sponsored by her husband's company Kerzner MediArts.

The Secret Six comic book character Liana Kerzner, a red-headed stripper hired to jump out of a cake dressed like Scandal Savage's dead girlfriend Knockout, was named after her. Savage rejected her advances but later sees the stripper at a supermarket, and when Knockout is resurrected invites Liana to enter into a polygamous relationship with them. She agreed but the story was not revisited.

Liana K identifies as a sex-positive feminist, and her hobbies include collecting action figures and other toys. She has also criticized Anita Sarkeesian's Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series in her own series called Why Feminist Frequency Almost Made Me Quit Writing. Other series include A Gamer's Guide to Feminism, and Lady Bits.
