Darren Walsh

Darren Walsh appearing at this event

Combining sound effects, one-liners and silly drawings, Darren Walsh's silly happy-go-lucky style has been compared to Harry Hill, with an act that combines surreal nonsense and snippets of daft songs. Dave's Joke of the Fringe winner 2015 ‘The most pun you can have with your clothes on’ (The Daily Mirror) 'One to watch' (Time Out) 'Multi Joke Of The Fringe award winner: A real crowd pleaser' (Chortle) 'He is a genial presence, not manic like Tim Vine, not wonderfully nerdy like Gary Delaney and not deadpan like Jimmy Carr, but very much his own mirthmaker' (The Scotsman)
