Darren Carr

Darren is recognised in the entertainment industry as Australia’s best ventriloquist and a brilliant comic entertainer – and he has numerous trophies, including ‘Australian Performer of the Year’ and a swag of ‘Mo’ awards, cluttering his mantelpiece to prove it!

He has twice appeared as a headliner at the International Ventriloquist Convention in the USA and has appeared on many TV shows, like Channel 9’s ‘Footy Show’, the Comedy Channel’s ‘Stand Up Australia’, CBS ‘60 Minutes’ and made a huge impact as a special guest on ‘Australia’s Got Talent’.

Darren, who has been a great friend of Stone The Crows, is also a brilliant guitarist, an accomplished pianist and an excellent drummer. He wrote and recorded the very funny song Exercise Blues especially for our As The Crows Fly CD last year – and played all the instruments himself.

With all that talent it may not surprise you to learn that Darren is the son of show biz legend and piano wizard Warren Carr, who was Musical Director for the ABC, the St George Leagues Club band leader and had a number of instrumental hits of the 1960s.

Jim Haynes has always said, ‘Darren’s the funniest performer I know – bar none!’ And, after past concerts, 1000 Grey Nomads agree with him – even the ex-mayor of Wagga Wagga, who became part of the act!

Not only will Darren (and his friends) entertain you on Easter Monday night but he will be with us for the Morning Shows on Tuesday – Wednesday and Thursday!  You will end up in Darren overload but laughing all the way.  He is a fantastic all round entertainer, whether ventroliquist, musician, singer or comedian – come and listen to this multi-talented genuine nice guy!
