Darrell is thrilled to be playing with the One Four Fives. Darrell has been performing and musically underscoring improv for 30 years. He began in Austin, Texas with ComedySportz and then headed to Chicago. While there, he studied with iO Chicago and Second City and toured with the best dang children’s theatre company in America under the mentorship of Emmy winner and Tony nominee, Jeff Richmond (and he really wishes that he had paid more attention to what Jeff was saying). Darrell has performed at iO Chicago, the Annoyance and toured with Second City.

He absolutely loves being part of the St Louis Improv scene. And although you may remember him as the green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, that was not him.
