Who the hell is darren frost?

Where did it all go wrong and why all the anger. Can’t we just be friends and get along. No…. No we cannot.

Welcome inside the head of.. LITTLE DARREN FROST. What can I tell you that is not already known. I could just tell you I am funny but I think that is subjective and believe me…some nights I am not so sure.

I started performing standup in 92. I became a professional in 95. I have quit seven times throughout my career but like crack I steal from my parents to make sure I keep the habit alive.

Hack comedy used to pay my rent. I was a happy comic from Nov 92 – Aug95. Then I started to realize that maybe these jokes are lame and not really appropriate for a mid twenty year old to be telling. Then I saw the light and got off so more hack comedy could be told by others.

I believe that my comedy could be best described by Neil Young “Traveling there was really boring so I headed for the ditch. It was a rough ride but I met more interesting people there.”

I am not the best but not the worst. I try to be different to just be accepted by the masses and in the end I will never play Fairview, Alberta again.

There is more to my story but you will have to find here inside this webpage. Or if you would like to see the show business bullshit version here is my bio for your consumption.

LITTLE DARREN FROST

“Frost’s standup has the quality of a satanic revival meeting. He brings so much bile and venom to the stage it can be overwhelming. Frost is at his best when he tempers his barbs with a little finesse and last night he showed this technique off to great affect. Among the most daring comedians in Canada.”
Toronto Star February 2005

He is uniquely eccentric and one of the reigning kings of “way-out” comedy. A young man whose sole purpose is to “slam a stapler against the forehead of popular culture.” Darren thrives on hyper-driving criticisms, dark revelation and lunacy. His ability to command the undivided attention of an audience is remarkable.

He was twice awarded top ten comedy moments of the year by Toronto entertainment magazine Now. Darren has been awarded the prestigious Kari award for Best Performance in a Commercial in Canada. In 2009 Darren performed in various comedy festivals including LOL Sudbury and St Johns.  In 2007,  Darren was one of only four comics invited to compete in the Seattle International Comedy Competition. In 2005, Darren performed in over 20 shows at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. In the past took his comedy shenanigans international with shows at the Edinbrough Fringe Festival in Scotland. 

Numerous movie/television appearances to his credit including Hairspray with John Travolta, the Ethan Hawke film Assault on Precinct 13, the Drew Barrymore/Jimmy Fallon film Fever Pitch, a role in the Michael Douglas feature Don’t Say A Word, principle role in the new Kojak series starring Ving Rhames. 

Darren lends his voices to a many cartoons including: Bakughan Brawlers, Stoked, Sixteen, NBC Discovery Kids Time Warp Trio, PBS’s Timothy Goes to School, Showtime’s Gahan Wilson’s The Kid, and Fox’s Medabots. He also has been featured in many memorable national commercials currently the Cash For Life Fairy, and old favorites Microsoft’s Hermes Messenger of the Gods, and Listerine’s Action Hero Bottle.

Currently working on many side projects on the internet including  having one of the largest comedy content sites in Canada at Comedywhore.com. Not of this earth or simply full of fudge: you decide. Direct from Brantford, Ontario, he’ll have you convicted and healed all at once.

“This Brantford-born 31-year old stand-up scores high on the squirmability scale as he, uttering a barrage of expletives, takes us willingly down the dark corridors of Gary Glitter’s prurient pedophilic porn, dysfunctional families, female midgets and Slobodan Milosvec. Frost is crude, rude and marvelously maniacal.”
