One of Canada’s best known and controversial comics Darren Frost will stop in Moncton Wednesday for a one-night show at Studio 7 Hundred.
A Toronto Star reviewer described Frost’s style of comedy as having the quality of a satanic revival meeting with Frost “among the most daring comedians in Canada.”
A 2007 Echo Weekly review called Frost “brilliant, but careful with his words. His humour is unabashed and rude at times, but the man is not simply sprouting obscenities to get a rise out of the audience. The jokes are calculated, political and meaningful.” The Brantford, Ont. native, who began doing comedy in 1992 and professionally three years later, describes his comedy as “angry and in-your-face.” Yet his comedy has earned him rave reviews over the years, and he has twice been credited for one of the “Top Ten Comedy Moments of the Year” by Now Magazine.
Past appearances include the Just for Laughs Festival, where he performed in more than 22 shows. This includes the popular Nasty Show, where he was the only Canadian comic invited, and the Seattle Comedy Competition as one of only two Canadians performing.
He has filmed a Comedy Now special for the Comedy Network, appeared in 50 commercials, winning the KARI Award for best performance in a commercial in Canada, and appeared in several movies and television shows over the past few years. His voice is heard playing characters on several television cartoon shows.
He was also one of four comics featured in an episode of the Discovery Civilization channel’s new show Tribes of the 21st Century that aired in September.
Frost released his second full-length independent DVD entitled Better Left Unsaid in June.
n Tickets for the Moncton show which begins at 9 p.m. are $15 advance and $20 at the door. The tickets are available at the Studio 7 Hundred at 700 Main St.
