Darren Carter And Nick Griffin To Appear At Side Splitters Comedy Club, 7/27-8/5
Appearing this weekend: DARREN CARTER July 26 - 29
As soon as Darren Carter takes the stage he unleashes a captivating flurry of impersonations, observations, and off-the-wall social commentary that is a comedy experience unlike any other. Darren's contagious charm and vivid imagery paints a picture that is both relatable and one of a kind--no wonder critics nationwide are calling his act 'one of a kind' and 'a must see'.
With acerbic wit, brilliant delivery, and an animated style of his own Darren Carter captivates a crowd and leaves his audiences rolling in laughter and begging for more. The Los Angeles based comedian has performed all over the world and is a fan favorite at the nation's most prestigious clubs including the Laugh Factory, Hollywood Improv, Comedy and Magic Club and The Ice House.
His unique blend of comedy, sketch, and impersonations have garnered industry attention in comedy, acting, and music. After being spotted by hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg for his dead-on impersonations of the rapper, he has performed multiple times at Snoop's annual family reunion.
The party doesn't stop there. After appearing in the summer blockbuster 'Be Cool' with John Travolta as well as a string of TV appearances including Comedy Central's 'Premium Blend', BET's 'Comic View', 'The Tonight Show' with Jay Leno, and a regular guest on 'Comics Unleashed' Darren is quickly becoming a household name.

Appearing next weekend: NICK GRIFFIN August 2 - 5
Nick Griffin started his stand up career in Kansas City at the age of nineteen. By the time he graduated from college three years later, he was working full time all across the country.
He moved to New York City in 1990 cutting his teeth on midnight shows in Greenwich Village. He was poor and alone but getting funnier and funnier.
Eventually he relocated to Los Angeles and quickly became a regular at the world famous Improv and The Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach.
During this time, he appeared on a handful of television shows including A and EÂ’s An Evening at the Improv and Comedy on the Road. He also began writing for television.
Nick was a staff writer on the Keenen Ivory Wayans Show in 1996. And later a head writer for the Bobby Slayton/Sue Murphy radio show. But his first love was always stand up comedy.
In 1998 he was invited to take part in the New Faces show at The HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. That same year he made his network television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, as well as Comedy Central's Premium Blend.
Nick has made multiple appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Lat year Nick taped his own Comedy Central Presents, which is airing this Spring.
He now headlines America's best Comedy Clubs and is a regular guest on nationally syndicated radio's The Bob and Tom Show.
Nick is still alone, but still getting funnier with each passing day. (Why screw up a good formula, right?)
His comedy is personal, precise and powerful. It's true.
