Daphney Joseph is lighting up the comedy scene with a playful, authentic style rooted in personal stories and sharp everyday observations. A regular at Yuk Yuk’s, where she jokes she “feels tall” on stage, she consistently wins over audiences, especially with her standout bit “Monopoly,” which still kills every time.
Inspired by the humour of her siblings and friends, and influenced by comics like Katt Williams and Ali Wong, Daphney brings a natural, joyful energy to every set. With more shows on the way and a strong community behind her, she’s quickly becoming a name to know.
