El Purnell

A highly interactive and energetic act, El Purnell is unique on the comedy circuit. Delivering his act in his native Spanish he captivates the audience with confidence, bravado and high-levels of interaction and participation to create an hilarious set.

Either as an opening or middle support act, El Purnell brings something very different to a comedy bill. The energy build-up is significant, with the audience on a major high with his musical close.

Clips of El Purnell are available, loaded on You Tube.

2010 saw El Purnell in Edinburgh as part of the PBH Free Fringe working with Ben Lawes in the successful show, Ben El Fun.

Recent highlights included:

Warm-up act at the Hull Comedy Festival for Milton Jones which gained the positive feedback from Milton, “Very good, I like the Cash in the Attic line”.

Performing for 3,000 bikers at the annual Farmyard Party festival in York
