Comedian/ Television Personality Candy Palmater

Day 2 Blog by Candy’s Manager: Denise Tompkins

Yesterday I blogged about Candy Palmater in her role as an International speaker.  Today is about Candy in the capacity that many of you know her best. The role of Entertainment. Candy Palmater has been making us laugh, making us cry, making us exhausted as we saunter home from a show we lay witness to, and feel like we had been made love to by Candy’s wit, charm and unique style of comedy.  She is more of a comedic story teller. Candy does deliver impromptu one liners when we least expect them, and she certainly lays everything on the stage for her audience. Candy’s innate ability is evident. Her humble and charming personality is no match for her on stage candour and honesty about topics that range from “what we are not to speak about in public” to politics. Breaking the barriers and pushing the comfortable envelope are her specialties.

Stand Up comedy styles

Unlike many other comedians, Candy has Two types of Comedy routines: 1. Corporate comedy, above the belt style for corporate functions, companies, Television Galas, Awards Show and many functions that like to keep things light , and number  2. Candy’s standard comedy – she pushes the envelope on topics that make people squirm in their seats. And let’s face it, most of us love to feel uncomfortable, breaking away form norm and social rights, this is why we love Stand up comedians, right? Candy utilizes her life experiences, her intelligence and her brashness to create the  material we see on stage.  No one gets hurt, and no one gets picked on in her shows. It is all in good fun, extremely entertaining and everyone loves to laugh until they have to pee. Candy is your huckleberry. 19 +.

It’s Just Another Mani Monday

I have been traveling all over the country for comedy gigs and since coming back from Banff I felt this look is magically and inspiring to me.

This week’s look is inspired by fall dark colors. This look is black but with sparkle fragments in the Incoco Nail Applique – Black Diamonds. Enjoy!  If you try this look or any other looks from my Monday, It’s Just Another Mani Monday, please email me your pictures and comments, I love to hear from you.

**Pictures will change, or simply click on each picture to speed up the process**

Website for Incoco  Where I buy all my Nail Applique’s.  I have and use the Sally Hansen nail applique’s, but I do find them very difficult to apply, and it take double the time to use verses the Incoco.

VIDEOS – Fashion, Life Style, Book Reviews, Outfit of The Day, more…

As a Canadian Comedy and TV host, I travel a lot and I do find myself in the public eye a lot.  I like to look good and feel good at the same time.  Plus I love make up and pretty things, so I created my own YouTube Channel to share with everyone things I love, my outfits, what I am reading, and many other videos…. you even catch me ranting.   My Manager has crated another YouTube channel of My comedy and TV which is Candy Comedy YouTube Channel   where she posts a handful of my stand up comedy and so far the first of my 3 Seasons of The Candy Show.

I hope you enjoy and please subscribe to my website and YouTube Channels.
