Darren Carr is one of the funniest people I’ve ever seen. Are you sure we don’t owe you extra for the great fun he provided. Dick Smith Electronics
Darren Carr proved an excellent MC for our function. His comedy material was very well received and the idea of using his alter ego dummy as part of a double act to MC the Awards presentation gave it a light-hearted touch while still keeping everything on track. Status Ad Group
