Darren Connell (comedian)

He started performing stand up gigs whilst juggling a full-time job at a supermarket until fellow comedian Kevin Bridges convinced him to quit and do comedy full time.

[2] Writing about his show No Filter, Jay Richardson of Chortle wrote:"His off-stage naivety, which he channels into Bobby, makes Connell extremely likeable, as does his easy rapport with his audience and chunky, rather sadsack quality, extending him the credit for an occasional, more calculated, dark gag.

"[3]In 2019, his show, Abandon All Hope played to a sell out audience at the 2019 edition of the Glasgow Comedy Festival.

[4] Despite having very little acting experience, Connell was cast as Bobby in the BBC Scotland mockumentary series Scot Squad.

[5] As of early 2019, he hosted the podcast The Darren Connell Show on Glasgow Live, which has featured guest appearances from Grado, Loki and Greg Hemphill.
