What created the Daddy Makk style of stand-up comedy? Growing up as an "A" student and a skinny kid, Daryl found that being a class clown kept the bullies from beating him up if he could keep them laughing. This ability was a gift that seemed to come natural for him so it only seemed fitting he would end up in the world of stand-up comedy. Fast-forward many years and Daryl Makk is re-educating the sheeple of the world...one joke at a time and has (professionally) since 1993! He has also grown to a 6 foot 3 inch comedian that holds little back. No one bullies Daddy Makk anymore and his humor is his weapon!! As a father himself, he understands that comedy can educate and inform. With an easy-going style he awakens those nagging thoughts we all have about how screwed up the world around us really is. Think of it as dad trying to save you from making a painful life's lesson mistake. That's the Daddy Makk style that audiences warm up to very easily. Described by CBC radio as "A friendly good ‘ol boy with knowledge and he's not afraid to use it" Makk has been delighting audiences around the world with his humor. You'll love as he barbecues up social sacred cows and serves them up as plates full of laughter!! An extended tour in Australia in 2005 had him in sold out shows at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and showed that the folks down under also love his twisted style of stand-up comedy. His one-hour "Comedy Now" special was selected to kick off season 8 of this award winning show in 2005 and has aired on CTV and The Comedy Network You should see this very comical field trip of truth and reality: The Daddy Makk Attakk!!
