KallMeKris

Kristina Lee Halliwell Collins, known professionally as KallMeKris, is a Canadian social media creator, comedian, and digital entrepreneur based in British Columbia.

A former hairdresser, Collins rose to prominence during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic after launching her TikTok account in April 2020. Her short-form comedy skits — typically under a minute — quickly gained traction for their sharp timing, expressive physical comedy and relatable humor. As of January 2024, she had amassed more than 50 million followers, making her the most-followed TikToker from Canada and one of the most popular creators on the platform globally.

Collins is best known for a wide roster of recurring characters that anchor her comedy universe. Among the most popular are Riley, an unruly toddler; Janet, Riley’s perpetually overwhelmed mother; Katrina, Janet’s blunt Russian girlfriend; Nona, the family matriarch; Chad, an awkward try-hard; Bexx, an emo-grunge archetype; and Amanda, a sharp-tongued British Uber driver. These characters have helped define her brand and set her apart as a creator capable of building long-running narratives within short-form content.

Beyond TikTok, Collins has steadily expanded her career across platforms and media. In February 2023, she launched her clothing brand, Otto by Kris. That same year, she served as a presenter at the Juno Awards, where she participated in celebrating Nickelback’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. In May 2023, she starred in the web series Ginormo!, created by Ken Mok and Steven He, and earned a Streamy Award nomination in the comedy category, further cementing her crossover appeal.

Collins has broadened her creative scope with the launch of a popular true-crime YouTube channel, where she explores real-life cases with a tone that balances empathy, curiosity and storytelling. The channel marks a notable evolution in her work, showcasing her ability to connect with audiences beyond comedy and reinforcing her position as a multifaceted digital creator with a growing footprint across entertainment genres.
