DARREN WALSH
COMEDY KNIGHTS FRESH COMEDIAN OF 2013 - WINNER!

★★★★
"Darren Walsh is indeed very tall. He is also very funny. And smart enough to bring us half an hour of pretty much solid laughter in a half-hour show, rather than the half-hour of laughter many lesser comics bring us in an hour-long show. The most labour intensive kind of comic is a gag merchant, a punster. Out onstage with no narrative safety net and no point-making padding must be the scariest of places, but Walsh seems impressively relaxed. 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. And the jokes just keep coming. There are puns and props, sound gags and sight gags, gigglers and groaners. The 30 minutes hurtle past. I am not going to quote any here, you will just have to take my word for it that you would have to be a very sad person not to enjoy this cheerful, jokeful hour." - Kate Copstick, The Scotsman

"Darren Walsh makes a hilarious stand-up debut with ‘I am A Giant’, a performance that showcases the six-foot-eight comedian’s huge reserves of comic potential. His razor sharp one-liners offer a brilliant take on life’s little eccentricities and the everyday expressions we take for granted. These are supplemented by delightfully bizarre and impeccably delivered puns and visual gags which are guaranteed to leave you laughing. Although his progression from one joke to the next can be a little disjointed and his slightly cringeworthy comedy songs became a little tiresome by the end of his half hour stint, it was still an incredibly funny performance. This show is not perfect, but Darren Walsh is undoubtedly a Milton Jones in the making and I’m sure we have not seen the last of him." - ThreeWeeks

"Darren Walsh stands at 6ft 8in and has a burgeoning reputation in the comedy world – and tonight was the funniest and most consistent I've seen him. His comedy is a mix of one-liners, Harry Hill-esque horsing around, sight gags and musical snippets. Somewhere in the middle were three gags in a row, told in a 30-second spell that effectively brought the competition to an end, there and then. Some of the jokes were dodgy, but shamelessly so – he built up easily enough credit with the good stuff and his easy-going personality, that he could get away with such groaners. The crowd loved him and so did the judges – a clear winner." - London is Funny
