One of the first-rate, young joke writers on the Canadian comedy scene, Darryl Purvis has the ability to poke fun at the unsuspecting characters and absurd subjects that cross his path. The kind of comic you'd welcome at your table for coffee or a pint. Purvis, through his act and his stage persona, radiates a clever blend of intelligence, insight, charm and warmth - all wrapped up in a down-home, east-coast sensibility that's embracing an urban hipness.
