Coming September 13th, 2008: it's Darren's new comedy CD...
TRUTH OR DARREN!
Launching exclusively on ShoutLife.com
     Darren Marlar is an entertainer through and through, doing standup comedy, hosting a morning radio show, writing comedy for radio stations around the country, and sending out a comedy email to his fans every Monday through Friday.  In all areas his objective is the same – to make you laugh.    
     Through his standup comedy Darren covers a variety of subjects like growing up as a redhead, marriage, parents, in-laws, and finds humor in the day-to-day things of life like children’s bedtime stories, growing older and using a GPS. 
     If Darren isn’t onstage entertaining, he’s likely entertaining an audience of thousands every weekday both on the radio and on the internet through his “Marlar in the Morning” radio show.  He also sends out The Marlar Sheet via email after his show as well – with hundreds of subscribers. 
     Darren Marlar continues to work for laughs at home sitting at the kitchen table with his laptop – writing comedy for radio stations around the world through the ONAIRprep radio show prep service. 
     Darren Marlar has worked with Joey Vega, Vince Martin, Brian McCree, The Weird Guy, David Alexander, Joe Joe the Entertainer, Marvin Howard, Allen Edge, Chonda Pierce, Tim Hawkins, Thor Ramsey, Charles Marshall, Rich Praytor, Dobie Maxwell, Scott Wood, Bean & Bailey, Bob Smiley, Jeff Allen and many others.  
     Comedy clubs, corporate events, staff meetings, holiday parties, company celebrations, fundraisers, banquets, outreaches, churches, cruises and everything in-between, Darren does it all – and loves every minute of it!
 
GEE, WHAT A NICE THING TO SAY!
Darren was a great hit at our company Christmas Party!  We wanted our employees to laugh, relax and have a good time without being embarrassed or uncomfortable and Darren did it. He was very easy and enjoyable to work with before, during and after the show!  --Diane Seneca, Ace Hardware
 
“Darren is great to work with, both on and off the stage!  It’s not a question of whether to have him return but when!” --Justin Herrick, Three Crosses Promotions
 
Darren had me in stitches, then the stitches burst from laughing so hard!  I hope he comes back to our meeting next year.  ---Spooner Baumann, Inside Sales Supervisor, AutoTrader.com
 
I never saw Darren perform before. I took a chance and it paid off! Darren gave a solid, high energy performance... I was impressed! I am really looking forward to working with him again.  --Comedian, Russ Martin (The Russ Martin Show)

I was amazed how he interacted so quickly with the audience.  Darren started the evening with great laughs resulting in comments about this being our funniest, best show ever. 
--Herb Kuryliw, Hillcrest Comedy Cafe in DeKalb, IL
 
Darren opened the night with lots of laughter and put everyone in a great mood for the rest of the night.  Marlar was perfect for an awesome evening.  --Randy Long, Crossroads Community Church, Freeport, IL
 
Not only is Darren Marlar seriously animated and funny, he is also a pleasure to be around.  His friendly persona is sincere and heartfelt.  He is extremely efficient as a comedian and emcee on stage and takes time with people off stage.  I highly recommend him for any event!  --Chris Johnson, On Ramp Youth Events
 
Thank you for performing at our event!  Everyone thought you were really funny.  Nothing but positive comments!  --Elyn Watson, First Congregational United Church of Christ
 
We loved every minute!  Not only did the kids enjoy it, but the adults couldn't stop talking about you after you had left!  --Dan Long, Rockford
