El Purnell is a whirlwind of a unique crowd-pleasing comedy act. His energy and gags per minute are off the scale delivering many belly laughs and so much fun for the audience.
He has a unique and clever spin delivering his set in Spanish with a springle of English. audiences LOVE the interaction, jokes and actual realisation they can understand him without speaking his mother tongue.
El started performing his unique brand of comedy back in 2009 and now has well over a decade of experience at pro comedy gigs under his belt.
Highlights include the Edinburgh festival, TV show pilots for both BBC and Sky TV. International gigs include performances in Ecuador, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand and Thailand.

"El Purnell absolutely smashed my gig. Real breath of fresh air! if you want something totally different but super crowd pleasingly efficient and gag heavy book him for your gig! You won't be disappointed!"
- Jay Handley, @fatpenguincomedy
"Instantly immediate but still rather nuanced character act with a seemingly endless procession of thigh slapping mirth moments. Lovely chap too."
- Anthony J Brown, @anthonyjbrown71
