Cally Beaton is a British stand-up comedian, podcaster, writer, and former TV executive with a unique and inspiring path to the stage. She spent years working behind the scenes at networks like MTV and Comedy Central, where she was responsible for shows including South Park and SpongeBob SquarePants.

In addition to performing, Cally is a published writer for publications such as The Guardian and the Financial Times. She also launched her own unique podcast, Namaste Motherf**kers, which combines comedy with business and self-help. Her witty jokes have even been featured on the Daily Mirror's and the Evening Standard's best jokes lists.
