Comedian Darren Carter joins host Rich Stein

Darren Carter joins me this week on Catching Up With Comedians. Darren is a natural upper and one of those people who represent the comedy profession in the most positive way.   Despite his youthful appearance and high energy style, it’s hard to believe he has been performing for over thirty years.  Growing up in Fresno, his first years in comedy were in San Diego but he was on the  "ROAD” quickly as an opening act due to his many years of performing comedy style raps around California. He also took his many years of speech and prose competitions in his College days where he ended up in the Nationals in Minneapolis.

While most comedians start off from scratch he already had a fair amount of time speaking and performing in front of audiences and at many different venues.

He loved comedy and the whole art of stand up so he was hungry and caught on fast.  He has been working steadily as a standup comic since the early nineties and has long since not only become a headliner but a headliner that is a “ draw” where people are coming to see him specifically which is the ultimate credit that every comedian seeks to attain.  Darren did his first Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2002 and has added numerous more television credits such as Premium Blend, Comic View, Dry Bar Comedy and he is currently in the comedy film “ Holy Cash“ at AMC Theaters and streaming networks.

  Darren is a stand up who has risen to the highest levels and maintained a humility and likeability that is not always the case in the comedy world.   Not only has he hit close to 20 million views on his short comedy clips he features on Instagram  but is most proud of his happy marriage to his wife as well as their son Austin, aka "AusTheBassBoss" who is an accomplished musician and following quickly in the entertainment footsteps of Dad.

Please welcome to the mics, Darren “ the PARTY STARTER” Carter!
