Darren Carr
Darren Carr belongs to the rare and resurgent breed of comedians known as ventriloquists. The art of ventriloquism is a stagecraft in which the comedian sports a dummy or a puppet that he controls and changes his/her voice to give the impression as the puppet is doing the talking. Ventriloquism was globally popular in the ’70s, but lost its place to more modern acts of standup such as observation. Darren Carr is keeping the act alive and kicking.
He is like a breath of fresh air to the Oz comedy scene because he brings a lost art to life with sidesplitting hilarity. His comedy is refreshing and highly enjoyable because it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen (given that you haven’t seen Carr perform before). Darren is a much sought after artist for corporate and government events. You can rest assure your employees or guests will be twitching with laughter and will talk about the show for months to come.

COMEDY STYLE
Carr is an outgoing proponent of his craft of choice. He’s been playing with puppet and dolls(!) since he was a child, speaking to them and speaking in their voice for hours. Dan has been around for over ten years and has performed at high street night clubs, premier cruise lines, and countless high profile government and corporate functions. His style of comedy is clean and upbeat. He mixes ventriloquism with comedy and music in just the right proportions to serve you the most refreshing cocktail of entertainment.
He uses a variety of puppets and has no problem getting the funniest voice out of a duck, a grandpa, a baby, or his favorite cheeky sidekick. A classic comedian by virtue of the very genre of his comedy, Carr never crosses the red line and sets the audience at ease before killing them with gags. He and his cast of crazy characters will make you fall of your chair if you’re not careful. Darren researches your event’s or company’s background before unleashing his army of clowns, so he’s always relatable and spot on. He can even transform your boss into a dummy if you’d like him to.
