Conceived in Spain, Daniel Tirado was born to a Polish mother and Peruvian father. Growing up in Montreal, Canada, Daniel was fortunate to be surrounded by a diversity of cultures. His fluency in four languages (English, Spanish, French and Polish) allowed him to develop different parts of his brain and become super smart.

In 2000, Daniel completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature at McGill University. He then followed his acting dream to New York City where he graduated from the prestigious Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in 2002.

It was in New York that he first performed stand-up comedy ... for a Harlem crowd! He bombed terribly and decided to quit. Ten days later, he pulled himself together and hasn't stopped since. In NYC, he developed a unique blend of urban and ethnic humor, also drawing material from his family, especially his latino father.

In 2004, he started developing stage characters. Among those he created, we find a sleazy Cuban salsa instructor known as Tony Mambotana - The Latin Salsation, and a traveling gypsy who goes by the name of Johnny “Flames” Flamenco. After only 6 months of bringing Tony Mambotana to the stage, he was invited to perform at the world-renowned Montreal Just For Laughs Festival in 2005.

Daniel's comedy is explosive and captivating. He hypnotizes audiences with his high intensity and incredible stage presence. His acting background gives him outstanding versatility, apparent in his act outs as well as his characters. Daniel has appeared in numerous films, t.v. series and commercials. You can catch him in his Hollywood film debut “Let The Game Begin” featuring Stephen Baldwin scheduled to be released sometime in 2010.
