In the last few years Darren Connell has started from the beginning again and is doing what he loves, stand up comedy.

Since his debut at the Glasgow Comedy Festival in 2011, Darren has grown to become one of the best stand-ups on the UK circuit today. Expected the unexpected as Darren takes the audience through a journey of his surreal dark madness, with a comical twist about everything in his life and how it’s almost impossible to get a break in the industry. This is Darren Connell’s self-tape.

Connell’s timing is spot on... his observational humour is both sharp and relatable, leaving the audience in fits of laughter. - Scotsman

With his laid-back charm and engaging presence, Connell effortlessly takes the audience on a hilarious ride through his personal experiences and witty observations. - List

As Bobby Muir, Connell has become one of the standout characters of Scot Squad, blending earnestness with a subtle, deadpan humour that’s impossible not to love. - Glasgow Live
