DARRYL PURVIS
"A seasoned, professional headliner who tours the country and is
one of the most underrated standups in the industry." - Toronto Star

"I'm originally from Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Stand-Up comedy was what I always wanted to do. I even went to university, got a business degree, and knew from day one that I was never going to do anything other than stand up. So I made my parents happy...and then I made them sad.

People always ask me how I got into comedy. Well, I graduated university, I moved to Toronto, I called Yuk Yuks, I did an amateur night, and that was it. Boring story.

But since then, life has gotten a little more interesting. I've been lucky enough to record my own television special, performed across North America, in the UK, even in Iceland. I've lived in New York City, LA, San Francisco, and now back in Toronto...comedy has been good to me!"

Acting as an unofficial business event warm-up for Ms. Rivers, it was she (then 81) who told Cally she had what it took to be a stand-up; and so, as a 45 year old single parent, Cally first took to the stage. She has since become one of the UK’s most-booked professional comedians.

Her latest project – a blazing podcast ‘Namaste M*therF*ckers‘ on Audioboom is where the worlds of comedy, self help and business collide.
