Cally Beaton
Who Cally Beaton is
Cally Beaton is a stand-up comedian, podcaster, speaker and author who came to comedy after a decade as a senior vice president at ViacomCBS, overseeing brands including Nickelodeon, MTV and Comedy Central, and was nudged onto the stage by a chance conversation with Joan Rivers.
Her Edinburgh Fringe hours run from Cat Call (2016) and Super Cally Fragile Lipstick (2017) to Invisible (2019) and Namaste Motherf*ckers (2025), which she took on tour; the same title names her podcast, launched in 2021, and her 2025 book, which reached number one in the UK self-improvement category. On television she has performed on Live at the Apollo, is a regular panellist on QI and The Apprentice: You're Fired, and has played Pointless Celebrities and Richard Osman's House of Games.
