Rob DaRocha’s impeccable comedic timing has led him to develop a career in stand-up comedy in a short amount of time. He began his performing career in his home town of Los Angeles and has emerged as a favorite at the Ice House, Laugh Factory, and Improv.
This summer, he was selected to be part of the 2007 Latino Laugh Festival’s Diamonds in the Rough Show featuring top headliner comics such as Carlos Mencia and Johnny Sanchez.
In addition to stand-up comedy, he is currently studying acting under Lesly Kahn in Hollywood and has studied improv at the Groundlings and Upright Citizen’s Brigade. And can be seen in several national commercials.
Rob recently starred in and co-wrote the short film entitled "The Addiction of Ethan Lonemyer" which will be showing at major film festivals in 2008.
He is a graduate of the San Francisco State Film School. He also studied Guerilla warfare in the congos of El Salvador were he single handledly fought off 50 soldiers, don’t ask about it, horrible memories.(http://myspace.com/robdarocha)

You are mild-mannered, good, strong and you love to help others.
I love doing stand-up comedy. There's nothing like a rush of getting off stage and you made everyone in the room laugh. I like playing sports and watching them. I like movies, plays, comedy, working out (even though I don't have the body of an adonis), writing, hanging out and doing nothing every once in awhile, I am so good at that, almost ZEN like.
HEY ROB HAD A BLAST LAST NIGHT @ IMPROV !! WOULD LOVETO COMEDOWN SOUTH AND SHARE THE STAGE WITH YOU AGAIN SOON!! I WILL LET U KNOW WHEN I COME DOWN AND WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER AGAIN..
