Quotes So Far

Tue, Oct 27, 2009

here is what people have said so far about my so called comedy:

Darren Frost has advertised himself as little man hate and audiences attracted to the man will not be disappointed. Considered the most controversial comic in the country for his ability to find a touchy issue and pick at it till it bleeds. Darren leads the field as the victim of audience assaults death threats and other UnCanadian behaviors. His bullet headed mug rarely smiles on stage as his voice keens from soothing to enraged and back again. If the audience didn’t laugh it would be unwatchable performance art but the man is a consummate pro and audience explode in laughter at a comedian who may represent our troubled age better then anyone. There’s the edge..and then there’s further..and then there is Darren Frost

With a kind of demented energy normally reserved for the incurably insane, Darren Frost takes the stage like a possessed hobbit, spewing so much bile and venom that, once your ears have acclimated, you can’t help but laugh. You may recognize him from his more sedate roles as the original Listerine Bottle Action Hero and Microsoft’s “Hermes, Messenger of the Gods,” as well as recent appearances in such films as “Fever Pitch,” “Don’t Say a Word” and “Assault on Precinct 13.” He is also currently working on an internet S&M cooking show called “The Leather Chef.” (an idea he stole from George Burns)

Just For Laughs 2005

Frost’s standup has the quality of a satanic revival meeting. He brings so much bile and venom to the stage it can be overwhelming.

Frost is crude, rude and marvelously maniacal

He will go far.
