“It seems being delusional is not so bad after all! My journey to stand-up comedy all started with a thought, until hard work and dedication made it a reality. Spreading laughter seems to be the only thing I’ve been consistently good at for all of my life. My life stories, my surroundings, and my people have influenced my stand-up comedy journey,” said Dale Elliott Jr. “Being a son to immigrant parents is not uncommon in Jamaica. As a Yardman, I will fly my country’s flag high wherever I go in North America this year – from Toronto to San Francisco, or Chicago to Maryland. This “Son of an Immigrant” will be coming soon to you. Nuh mek it miss yuh!”
After 8 years of being a household name in the Caribbean diaspora for his Instagram and Tik-Tok skits, began stand-up in 2023 with his “Problem Child: Bad Pickney Tour”. In 2024, headlined a self-produced “No Hard Feelings” tour with over 40+ shows across USA, UK, and Canada, with multiple sold-out performances.
