About Me

CURRENT MISSION

taking Europe by storm!!

ABOUT ME

Hey!
I love traveling and meeting new people. I'm an artist through and through. I always connect with creative-minded people, but am open to everyone.

I was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. The westcoast of Canada in the 90s was an ideal place to grow up - very calm, peaceful & socially progressive. I went to Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and studied Drama & Film.

After univeristy, I worked in film & television as an actor, and began performing live comedy.

Once I hit 25, I decided to just travel as much as possible over the next few years, and do Stand-Up Comedy all over the world.

So far, I have performed in 27 countries worldwide: Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, France, England, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Luxembourg, Germany, Singapore, India, Austria, Slovakia, and more!

Here's my website: www.danielryanspaulding.com

I love making friends all over the world, and thought CS would be a good way to do that.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life with gratitude, and focus on the positive.
