2017 Edinburgh Fringe

You may not have heard of Darren Harriott before. Time to memorise his name though, as this newcomer's debut show is packed with good jokes. It's a very impressive hour indeed and suggests he is now on the road to comedy stardom.

Three things are guaranteed in life: failure, strong opinions and death. This (very funny) debut show from Darren Harriott is about all three. Darren is one of the most exciting up-and-coming comedians on the circuit. In the last year, he has appeared on Russell Howard's Stand Up Central, supporting Jimmy Carr. He then headed to the Edinburgh Festival 2016 as part of the prestigious Pleasance Reserve, where he featured on the comedy show BBC Radio 4 Extra Stands Up. 'Harriott, is definitely going to make an impact' (Bruce Dessau).
