Darryl Purvis

“A seasoned headliner who tours the country and is one of the most underrated standups in the industry” – Toronto Star

With some of the sharpest sarcasm and satire around, it’s no wonder that Darryl is considered one of the first-rate joke writers on the Canadian comedy scene. Originally from Antigonish, Nova Scotia, he has performed at clubs across North America and the UK, as well as numerous national television and radio appearances such as his own comedy special for CTV/The Comedy Network and the Halifax Comedy Festival. His comedy golf podcast “Where’s That Bar Cart?” is consistently ranked in the top 20 golf podcasts, unfortunately his golf score is not so successful.
