"Darrin Rose puts a fresh twist on small-town hick jokes; his naughty but accessible act could make him the Russell Peters of outer suburbia, and should appeal to the Just for Laughs crowd." - Eye Weekly (Toronto)
"Slick, smart, and at times painfully honest, but always hilarious." - GoodieBag TV
"Quick witted." - Eye Weekly
"Very funny...solid, original material." - The Serious Comedy Site

Darrin Rose's Interests
Music
'Bad Medicine' by Bon Jovi, 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' by Def Leppard, and other songs that were part of the briliant cultural tapestry of Oshawa.
Movies
The three best movies ever: Matrix, Good Will Hunting and Dirty Dancing. Except I'm not kidding. Who didn't want to be Johnny Castle?
Television
If it ain't Ellen, I ain't watchin'.
Books
Mostly I like books about the dictionary.
Heroes
The standard pantheon. Marvel more than DC, though. Spiderman, Wolverine, Colossus, the grey Hulk who could talk and became a bouncer in Vegas, Daredevil.
Check out my internet web site (darrinrose.com). I’m a stand-up comic, travelling around with my bag of laughter, touching lives from Orillia to Moncton to London, England. Also other places, but I only want to mention the towns that are awesome. Also, I’m on Facebook, but don’t tell anyone from Myspace - I think they’re jealous.
