About Me

Xerxes Cortez (actual name) is a Toronto-based man of numerous pursuits.

By day, Xerxes Cortez is a mild-mannered motion graphic artist and editor that has been working in post-production since 2002. Although if you count videotaping Police Academy movies off the TV and pausing during the commercials as editing, you could say that he’s been working since 1986.

But when night falls, he transforms into Xerxes Cortez, mild-mannered stand-up comedian and host of the long-running monthly room, The Texas Comedy Massacre 2.
