CENTURY 21 Australia

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

Excellent. Darren Carr proved an excellent MC for our function. He made an effort to understand the Run Sheet and plan his work. 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. Very happy.

Excellent, He had everyone belly laughing – it’s going to be hard to top it next year
