He got kicked off the school bus for impersonating both of his bus drivers and kicked out of several classes for impersonating his school teachers.

Eventually, he moved on to impersonating celebrities such as Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, John Travolta, Gilbert Gottfried, and Sean Connery, just to name a few. Steve wanted to take advantage of his ability to impersonate others, so he started doing stand-up comedy in 1998.

He taught himself how to play the guitar so he could add musical elements to his show as well, and in 1999, he mailed an audition tape from his home town of Kansas City to Warner Brothers Studios in Los Angeles for a sketch comedy show to be aired on national television that they were creating and casting for called “Hype”.

A few days later, Warner Brothers flew him out to Los Angeles to try out in person. More than 3,000 people auditioned for the show, so the competition was incredible. With only one spot left on the cast to fill, Steve had to audition right after Dane Cook. Talk about pressure! Steve landed the roll and co-starred with nine other extremely talented individuals including Frank Caliendo and “Chicken”.

He played for President Bush, Keannu Reeves, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Justin Timberlake, Carson Daly, David Blane, Regis Philbin, and many others on national television.

His headlining show is like something out of Vegas, filled with musical parodies, improv, and audience participation. Steve’s second love is music. He is a one-man-band, so sometimes he argues and sleeps with himself.

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.

So what’s next for Darren? After rocking the stage for over 20,000 fans at the nation’s largest comedy concert–LA’s prestigious Power 106 Comedy Jam–Darren was immediately dubbed a fan favorite and has been asked to return once again and bring the funny alongside the biggest names in comedy including Carlos Mencia, Lisa Lampanelli, Russell Peters, Katt Williams at this year’s Comedy Jam 2008.

Darren can be seen on “Chelsea Lately” on E! and “Comics Without Borders” on Showtime.

Since being featured on Myspace Comedy as a ‘comic to watch’, DC has expanded his entertainment repertoire lending his voice over talents for five characters in the top selling Activision video game ‘Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland’.

In 2008, we have also seen the release of his critically acclaimed comedy album ‘Shady Side’ now available on iTunes. Waiting to catch him on TV? Tune in this September for ‘The Comedy Slam’ on Showtime. Or check him out on National Lampoon’s College Network where he is a regular on camera host.

Justin grew up in Modesto, CA, which is also the birthplace of George Lucas. His parents divorced when he was 6 and his father met who would be his step-mom soon after. Up until this point, Justin was an only child. Now he had a new mom and a brother, and sister. His brother and sister were not as excited about the prospect of a little brother. His brother would read Martial Arts magazines and would practice his knowledge on his new little brother.
He knew he wanted to be a comedian when he was in 1st grade. He would watch Bill Cosby as Himself, and Robin Williams at the Met religiously. He would also steal his Dad’s copy of Eddie Murphy’s Comedian and listen to it in his closet. His love for comedy took a turn when his teacher asked him his class to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they grew up. Justin drew a picture of a guy in front of a mic stand. This didn’t take to long which left Justin time to notice that his classmates were drawing firemen, doctors, and police officers. Embarrassed he quickly changed his picture into a scientist.

In High School he played football, played maybe 3 downs all year and decided to try something else. He chose Drama. He would star in every play for his junior and senior year and was also voted most talented his senior year.
He also met his wife his senior year. They moved in together 6 months after graduating and have been together ever since.

When he was 17, he was cast at a theme park in San Jose, CA, Paramount’s Great America. As a Ferengi, from Star Trek, he was their youngest performer. He was soon cast to host the park’s Nickelodeon show. In 1999 at the age of 18, and after only one year of workshops, he was asked to join the performance company of ComedySportz. He would continue to work for both ComedySportz and Great America for the next 7 yrs, performing and teaching workshops in improvisation and team building in the corporate arena. With ComedySportz he performed short form improvisation all over the country in places like, Austin, TX, Washington D.C., and Chicago.
He also began attending San Jose State University, where he studied Radio, Television, and Film. He was also a part of the Honors Humanities Program. At the Age of 21 he proposed to his wife at ComedySportz while playing an improv game similar to “Whose Line’s” props. They were married the same day the following year. A cashier at a grocery store once assumed that the reason his wife married Justin so young was because she was pregnant. She told the clerk that is was just because she likes him.

After a year and a half at SJSU he could no longer afford to stay in school and the Bay Area. He moved home to Modesto and continued to go to school to become an Elementary School teacher. He began to miss making people laugh and got an opportunity to come to Los Angeles and study with Second City. So he gave up the life that makes sense to pursue a career in comedy.

Today, Justin and his wife make their home in North Hollywood. They are expecting their first child on Aug 31st, 2008.

A professional boxer at the age of nineteen, he had forty-two pro fights and became the “Southern Middle-Wieght Champion.”  John was suspended from boxing after losing a fight on a bad decision when he remarked, “I knew I was in trouble when I saw the judges had seein-eye dogs.”

After being hit in the head for eight years, he realized he had a weird way of thinking about things and became a codmedian.  Some people didn’t understand how he would do comedy after boxing, but then again, they didn’t see his last two fights!
