Darren Frost (born January 21, 1971) is a Canadian actor and stand-up comedian. Frost frequently performs at Yuk-Yuks comedy clubs, and he competed at the 2007 Seattle Comedy Festival.
He is uniquely eccentric and one of the reigning kings of “way-out” comedy. A man whose sole purpose is to “slam a stapler against the forehead of popular culture.” Darren thrives on hyper-driving criticisms, dark revelation and lunacy. His ability to command the undivided attention of an audience is remarkable.
He was twice awarded top ten comedy moments of the year by Toronto entertainment magazine Now. Darren has been awarded the prestigious Kari award for Best Performance in a commercial in Canada. At the 2005 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, Darren performed in the most shows of any performer. 22 shows that included the nasty show and the gala. He has also took his comedy shenanigans international with shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. In 2007 was chosen to compete in the Seattle International Comedy Competition.
Numerous movie/television appearances to his credit. Appearing in the summer blockbuster Hairspray with John Travolta and Michelle Pfiefer, as well as past appearances in the Ethan Hawke film Assault on Precinct 13, the Drew Barrymore/Jimmy Fallon film Fever Pitch, and a role in the Michael Douglas feature Don’t Say A Word.
