Darren Brand, affectionately known as ‘Big Baby’, is a decorated comedian, actor, and all around entertainer with roots stemming deep in the Carolinas. Born in Southern Pines, Brand ventured 80 miles north of his hometown to attend North Carolina A&T State University where he quickly established himself as the ‘funny man on campus’. His career in stand-up began during college when he co-founded the Freestyle Funny Comedy Show (FFCS), a nationally recognized live improv tour, with his comedic comrades: Anthony Bean (Chico Bean), Brian McLaughlin (BDaht) and DeMar Rankin, Sr. (OsamaBinDrankin).
