Join us for our SacramentoComedy.Com's September Meet up!

We are changing the meetup from our normal Friday night to Saturday night to accommodate the many people who, for one reason or another, couldn't make Friday nights.

The show starts at 7:00 PM at Tommy T's in Rancho Cordova (Hwy 50 & Hazel) and many of us will be coming early and having dinner. Again, we should have a chance to meet Darren before the show starts. Last months meetup at Tommy T's was a spectacular success!

Darren Carter:I'm originally from Fresno, California. I was adopted into a foster family and grew up there. After finishing high school, I worked at a local Fresno radio station as an overnight DJ. For late-night kicks, I would try to get girls to call in and request the song, "Me So Horny." While attending college, I also started performing stand-up comedy at the country music bars and comedy clubs in the area.

I moved to San Jose, California for a job at the theme park, "Marriot's Great America." I had to entertain the people waiting in those long lines for the rides. There wasn't a microphone or speakers, and my punchlines were usually drowned out by the ride going around at 90 mph. Talk about a tough gig!!

After that roller coaster ride, I moved to San Diego, California for a couple of years. I continued to work on my stand-up comedy career by performing at the comedy clubs there. While living in San Diego, I landed my first national commercial for Miller Beer.

Then I made the leap to Los Angeles. I have been on many television shows since making the move here. I'm most proud of being on, "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Jay was really cool and down-to-earth. I have also been on the BET network show, "Comic View" a bunch of times. I was a regular player on BET's variety show, "The Way We Do It." I appeared on Galavision's popular show, "Que Locos" a couple of times. I also performed on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend." My first big break was being on Showtime's "Latino Laugh Festival." Recently, I filmed a movie that stars Master P. and his son L'il Romeo entitled, "Uncle P." I will also be in the upcoming motion picture "Be Cool" with John Travolta. It is the sequel to "Get Shorty."
