BIO
Darren
Carter continues to amaze and amuse standing room only audiences with
his blend of unique and multi-cultural comedy. Using the stage
as his playground, the free-spirited Carter likes to make people
feel good about themselves, and about society. Adopted into a foster family in
Fresno, CA, his parents are
Caucasian, and his two sisters are Native-American and Latina. Growing
up in a racially mixed blue-collar neighborhood, Darren Carter
definitely stood out at school, with his red hair and black-framed
glasses. But, he went from nerd to cool -- Opie to Red Rapper --
when he started to rap, break dance, and hip hop, all with easy
humor. Darren Carter still sees himself as a "fish out of
water," and this is the core of his acessible comedy.
Moving to San Diego in 1993, Darren Carter worked the comedy
circuit there for two years and landed his first national commercial
for Miller Beer before moving to Los Angeles. During the next
three years, he headlined at The Comedy Store, The Improv, The Laugh
Factory, Stand-Up New York and performed on MTV's "Spring
Break" and Showtime's "The Latino Laugh Festival." Most recently, Darren has guest starred on "The X
Show," "The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno," Comedy Central
and "The Jamie Foxx Show," along with opening in concert for
Chris Rock and Paul Rodriguez. Continuing to create his wacky and
unique characters, Darren is now branching out into voiceover work and
has a new stand-up comedy CD. |
