Darrin Rose

Fresh off a stand-up tour of Europe, comedian Darrin Rose returns to Canada with his tour Family Pains. The tour stops in Charlottetown at the Mack on September 19 at 7 pm. 

Following his appearance on the hit show Letterkenny, the former Match Game host and star of CBC sitcom Mr. D, returns to the stand-up stage in anticipation of his second stand-up TV special. His first special, for CTV/Comedy, was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Performance in a Comedy/Variety Show. 

This tour stop will be Rose’s return to Charlottetown after doing one of the city’s first post-pandemic live shows, just days after the regulations were lifted. 

He has been called “one of the hottest comedians in Canada” by GQ magazine, is a six-time performer at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal, and a nine-time Canadian Comedy Award nominee. His show was selected Best of the Fest at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Rose tours across the United States and Canada, and has performed at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Rose’s stand-up act is full of hurtful, true stories about his family, and laugh-out-loud musings about fatherhood, love, life, and marriage. The show deals with two consistent themes in Rose’s stand-up: how families are never perfect, and how you can’t unlearn childhood feelings of inadequacy. 

The show is clean, and he loves to involve the audience to give each show a one-of-a-kind feel.
