Description

Yooo! Darren’s brand-new show is all about how his life has changed for the better (yay!). He used to be a 'Roadman' who wouldn’t even smile for a photo, but now he’s trying all sorts of things he thinks he missed out on; some good, some bad but at least he’s smiling… just about. Double Edinburgh Award nominee, host of Live at the Apollo, team captain on Guessable, series regular on Love Island After Sun and co-host of The Shame Is Delicious podcast. 'This very funny stand-up makes joke-telling look simple' **** (Times).

A truly likeable and bloody funny comedian. He reminds me of a high energy version of Reginald D. Hunter. Plenty of big laughs, but I could just listen to him talk for hours.

It’s impressive to watch. This is a diverse crowd, age-wise, but Harriott has everyone hanging on his every word.

Industry folks: If you're hosting a gala event at the fringe, if you want an alluring host for your new prime time tv show, if need someone to speak at anything!, Darren is your man. He's a star and I'm going to have to go find these old gameshow episodes now just to get some more of him. I'm pretty certain he'll be hosting them himself one day soon.
