Charly Chiarelli was born in Racalmuto, Sicily, and raised in the industrial north-end of Hamilton, Canada. As well as having mastered the lost art of being a "Pin Boy" for downtown bowling alleys, Charly has a Master's degree in Social Work and
degrees in Psychology and Linguistics.

Charly Chiarelli has become one of the world's premiere storytellers, widely known for his two earlier one-person plays, Cu'Fu and Mangiacake. And now he has a new hit called
Sunamabeach to complete the trilogy. Charly has been inducted into the McMaster University Alumni Hall of Fame - along with inductee notables like Martin Short, Dave Thomas Eugene Levy and astronaut, Roberta Bondar.

The plays Cu'Fu and Mangiacake were filmed for international broadcast with BRAVO Television, directed by Gemeni Award
winner, Dennis Beauchamp and produced by renowned media executive, Harvey Glatt. Mangiacake became two shows:
Mangiacake and Brutta Figura. All of Charly's works have toured numerous international live venues including the
National Art Centre in Ottawa and the Rome International Storytelling Festival - standing ovations abound.

Excerpts from Charly's Cu'Fu are published in a book, Sweet Lemons: an anthology of works by celebrated AmericanSicilian and Canadian-Sicilian writers. Charly has also written a libretto for a symphonic piece called The Birds Beyond. Juno
award winning composer, John Burge, teamed up with Charly to write the score for this piece - which has been performed by
the Kingston and Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestras.

Charly has also written and performed other works for children, Ho Ho Hum, Once Upon a Pizzeria and Giovanni And The
North Wind, which have recieved radio broadcast throughout Canada and were featured in international live performance
venues. As a virtuoso chromatic and diatonic harmonica player, Charly has contributed to hundreds of recordings - as well as
recording his own works.
