Happy Cole’s high energy delivery and fast-paced humor have long made him a favorite at comedy clubs, colleges, corporate events and on cruise ships.
Cole got a big break when he was invited to perform at the Montreal International Comedy Festival “Just for Laughs.” His appearances there were so triumphant and stellar that the Montreal Gazette cited Happy as one of the “standouts in the best jokefest ever.”
Moreover, his success there drew the attention of all kinds of major figures in the entertainment industry, including the producers of “Black is…” an award-winning CBC documentary series. This led to Happy being booked on “Black is…” as well as appearances on such U.S. television shows at NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” and the nationally syndicated “Showtime at the Apollo.” It also led to an invitation to perform at the Murphy’s Cat Laugh Festival in Kilkenny, Ireland hosted by Bill Murray.
Among Happy’s other television credits are the ACE Award-winning “Caroline’s Comedy Hour,” “Comic Strip Live,” “Evening at the Improv,” and “Comedy on the Road.”
For over three decades, Happy Cole has captivated audiences worldwide with his humor. Spanning the continents from Europe to North America and traversing the breadth of the United States from Los Angeles to New York, Happy has left his comedic mark. His universal appeal has brought laughter to people across the globe, solidifying his place as a versatile and beloved comedian.
