‘Darren Harriott begins his show with a series of rapid-fire, exuberant jokes about growing up black and working-class and his current life, from iron-on logos to dealing with his crackhead flatmate. However, whilst this would be enough for many other comedians, Harriott instead uses these topics as a springboard to comment on a greater range of subjects……
Visceral not only showcases Harriott’s skills as a comedian, but also allows him to demonstrate his ability to switch from joking to making serious points about his upbringing as well as issues of race in general.’
