Who Is Darren Harriott Father, Patrick?

Darren Harriott’s father, Patrick, was a drug dealer who was often in and out of prison.

The father and son never got to spend a lot of time together, as Patrick took his life when Darren was a schoolboy. His father did not live at home, but he was able to communicate with him by phone when he wasn’t in prison until his demise.

Following his father’s demise, he was consumed with ensuring his mother’s happiness. She is her rock, and he regards her as the ideal woman. His other family members and siblings are kept fairly private.

He mentioned in an interview that he’d like to assist his mother, Paulette, who is a caregiver, but she refuses. “She worked tirelessly for her two sons,” he stated. “I offered to pay for her driving lessons, but she replied, “I’ve got a bus pass, I’m fine.”

Without proper guidance from his father and on the verge of toxic masculinity, he is relieved that he eventually became a Standup comedian.

He was interested in drama and comedy and began doing stand-up comedy. It took a while for his career to take off, and after college, he worked on security at the venues he wanted to play.

He was signed by Micky Flanagan’s agent two years ago and discovered his voice.
