Darrin is a unicorn, a secret weapon, and consistently the #1-rated element of our clients’ conferences. He quickly gains insider knowledge to the industry and team culture, and then creates unique, relatable, absolutely hilarious material every time. He is fantastic with executives on-stage and bringing energy to every session. After we introduce Darrin, our clients never want to do meetings without him.
It was great working with Darrin – he was a huge hit with our clients, the audience, and the executives on stage with him. And, for us, he was a ton of fun to work with. Great ideas, good at implementing feedback in real time, and he brought that extra level of energy to both shows. Definitely the most entertaining “housekeeping” notes at the end that any of us have seen. A riot! We would love to work with him again.
Darrin was an amazing host – very funny, quick off the cuff, and did material specific to our event. The audience loved him!
Pharmacists are a tough group at a conference to loosen up and enjoy themselves, but not only Darrin’s comedic skills but his superb abilities as an MC got everyone involved, laughing and having a great time! He was the hit of the show!
We want to give our heartfelt thanks to Darrin for making our awards show such a success. We received so many compliments about his performance and we’re hoping that he might consider joining us again next year, although not sure he’ll be able to top this year’s performance!
Darrin was the host for an annual awards gala and he knocked our socks off. He did an awesome job and the feedback from the attendees has been great. One attendee remarked he was the best host in the 18 year history of the event! They loved him, and so did I!
Darrin was an incredibly planful, thoughtful and engaging MC for our event. His humour was on point, fit for our audience and made for really memorable evening. He’s quick on his feet and we would not hesitate to hire him again. Darrin actually made an Insurance event funny and fun!
Your professionalism and flexibility really helped to make the event an exceptional experience for our clients and so many of them shared their feedback with us about how freakin’ funny you are!
Darrin was great and the audience had nothing but positive things to say. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
He was awesome and the evening was a huge success.
Darrin was an excellent MC for our conference, he was entertaining, funny and serious when he needed to be. Our audience of marketers and advertising agencies loved him, in part because he never tried to take over the show, he played a key role but also left room for others to shine – and that is the secret to being a smart, as well as a great, MC.
Darrin was engaging, witty and extremely funny. We have received nothing but positive feedback on his performance from our delegates and look forward to working with him again in the future.
