Our Profile

Stand-up comedian, actor, producer, writer, and former late-night radio host.

Ray Dalton started telling jokes in campus cafeterias and never really stopped. Ten years, four tours and hundreds of club nights later, his everyday-life storytelling fills theatres — honest, quick, and always kind to the front row.

When he is not on stage, Ray writes for television, produces live comedy nights under the Backrow Bandit name, and mentors new acts coming up through the open-mic circuit he grew up in.
