Daryl Makk, Calgary comedian, actor and writer
On November 12th, internationally famous comic, Daryl Makk will take to the stage at Comedy Detour with two of Calgary’s hottest up-and-coming comedians to raise money for The Actors’ Fund of Canada. Having appeared at the Just for Laughs Festival and featured in his own 1 hour special on the hit show, Comedy Now, Daryl knows how to bring a good time. With his trademark “tell it like it is” style of humor that has delighted audiences from Australia to Timmins, the evening is guaranteed to be an great night out.
Makk’s connection to the Fund is a personal one, having received assistance after a motorbike accident left him unable to work for two months. Last year a car changed lanes without looking, hitting Makk and then disappearing from the scene of the accident.
As Makk said of that time “Knowing that I had a support system allowed me to focus on healing rather than worry about finances. I want to show my support for the Fund by raising money for it so that other entertainment workers can benefit from it the same way I did”
