David Dempsey

Born in Dublin, raised in Australia, and living in Edmonton, comedian David Dempsey has no trouble fitting in. Finding friends and fans wherever he roams, David is charming onstage and a homebody off of it. David moved to Edmonton in 2009 and immersed himself in the local stand-up comedy scene. Back in Perth, he had dabbled in comedy for two years, becoming a Western Australian state finalist for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's RAW Comedy competition in 2006. The art of stand-up stuck with him and when he arrived in Edmonton, he decided to pursue it as a career. You can now catch him touring Western Canada and beyond both headlining and opening for much more famous comedians than him e.g.: Dion Cole, Rhys Darby, Jon Dore, Jerrod Carmichael, Tom Green etc etc.
