Darren Connell

Who Darren Connell is

Darren Connell is a Scottish stand-up comedian, podcaster and actor from Springburn in Glasgow who worked supermarket shifts around his first gigs until fellow comedian Kevin Bridges talked him into doing comedy full-time. His solo shows have played across the UK, including No Filter at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe, and Abandon All Hope sold out at the 2019 Glasgow International Comedy Festival. Television audiences know him as Bobby Muir in BBC Scotland's mockumentary Scot Squad, a role that brought a best actor nomination at the 2015 British Academy Scotland New Talent Awards, and his podcasts have run from The Darren Connell Show on Glasgow Live to Straight White Whale with producer Paul Shields.
