Daliso Chaponda's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | Daliso began his comedy career in Canada with the acclaimed one man show 'Feed This Black Man'. Subsequent appearances across Canada followed (highlights include The Just For Laughs Festival 2005 & CBC Televisions 'Crossing The Main').
In 2004 Daliso Chaponda headlined the 'Dont Let Them Deport Me Comedy Show' as a plea to officials to have his Canadian visa extended. The show was sold out, well reviewed and frenzied letters were written to bureaucrats. He was forced to leave anyway after one final show, 2005's 'Theyre Deporting Him Anyway'. Next, he worked as a comedy writer and performer in South Africa and recently he moved to the UK.
In addition to Stand-Up Comedy, Daliso is a fiction writer. In 2002 he was a finalist in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest and in 2006 he was shortlisted for the Carl Brandon Society Award. | | Website | daliso.com | | TV Shows | Trans Canada Comedy Trail ’Crossing the Main’, Paramount Comedy’s ’World Stands Up’, ’Good News Week (AUS)’ |
