What are you lookin at?

Sometimes I laugh at comics who just lie and think that it will not come back and bite them in the ass.

"Hey Darren I am going to be on the cover of Now in a few weeks"
"Hey Darren I am doing a Gala at Just for Laughs this year..for sure"
"Hey I have lots of offers to do tv I am just not sure which one I will do"

Do they think that I will not remember what they said in a few weeks when no cover article appears....or the gala's fill up and no comic X....or no tv deal translates?

Why do people have to lie. Why cannot we all just admit that our life is shit from time to time and move forward. Too many people full of hot air so they can get there back up to try and fuck another waitress or steal some material or both.

I have never lied about anything when it comes to credits or things I have done. I don't even try and whitewash the truth so I look better. I am the first person to admit that I was the problem when shit goes down. The first person to ask a MC not to use credits.

When people ask what I have done recently, I just say not much and move on cause I don't know how well the other comic is doing and would never want to rub his face in my success. What does it really mean anyways...so I put a funny costume on and made a quick buck. In the end all I care about is how funny I am in standup.

Now is it hypocritical to have a website like mine which lists credits?

No

If you want to know, you come here, if you don't... I don't brag during the small talk there is a difference. I even try and avoid listing things in the news section until I shoot them and know the project is coming out and I know I am in it. I have been burned before due to timing shit, but over all I have a pretty good track record.

You learn that tons of shit hits the cutting room floor and I never want to be that guy who bragged that I was the lead in pushing tin and then boom nothing. How do these guys do it.....

Or the why do guys brag when we all know they have nothing going on. If you are such the hotshot then why the fuck are we in peterborough and you are opening for me..another guy with fuck all going on. Lets just enjoy the shitiness and try and use the bullshit energy to wake up the crowd.

I remember when I lived in LA, guys I knew who had nothing going on acting like shit was going on. Then when I was asked I said

"I got nothing...nothing"

People just looked stunned and moved away quicker then the H5N1 strain is moving threw Vietnam. When I came back to toronto everyone asked

"What Happened"

"nothing...really..nothing"

"Oh..... Hey who is that over there....."

Sometimes having the plague leaves little in way of small talk and that is cool with me.

So the next time you see me sneeze I am probably fine, and to see how I am really doing come here or wait till it comes out on video.
