Standup Comedian

Clean Standup Comedy

Sorry, but I no longer perform standup comedy – I’ve retired from it to focus on my voice over business as well as my Weird Darkness podcast and syndicated radio show.

Through his stand-up comedy Darren covers a variety of subjects like marriage, parents, in-laws, holidays, and finds humor in the day-to-day things of life like child bedtime stories, growing older and using a GPS.
