Origins of Southern Momma
A proud southerner, Darren has used his roots to his advantage. With the creation of his exaggerated alter-ego, Southern Momma, Darren has played upon the redneck stereotype to move on from what he has referred to as the ‘rough times’ in his life, where he could barely afford to pay for heat and had to rely on padded blankets just to keep warm.
His first uploaded video, in 2015, titled Southern Mom Gettin’ Kids Ready for School, has earned him a mighty 1.5 million views. It was so well received, that he decided to make more. His first unofficial gig was a spur-of-the-moment session at The Peerless Saloon in 2016, when he decided to get up on stage at the prompting of the bartender, at an open-mic night. It proved such a hit with the crowd, that Darren was convinced comedy was his calling, after just one fifteen-minute set. He performed his first-ever comedy show only one month later and Southern Momma has been his meal ticket ever since.

Why the controversy?
Darren has always been vocal about his beliefs. Even so, at the 2018 Montreal Just For Laughs festival, it seemed he went slightly too far. The comedian was booed off stage for speaking out against fellow acts who he considered to be virtue signaling, using their slots to talk about issues including race and gender politics.
“Comedy’s not about race or sexism – people come here to laugh”, he told the audience – apparently not the best way to finish a show, especially when it was for Variety’s showcase for the Top 10 Comics to Watch that year. He is rumored to be unpopular on the comedy circuit, with his outspoken views often getting him into even more trouble.
