Darren Chau

Darren Chau is an Australian writer, performer and comedian.

Chau was educated at Camberwell Grammar School and later studied Media and Drama at La Trobe University.

He co-founded the comedy ensemble group Chop-Socky who gained a cult following in the late 1990’s whilst producing comedy for Foxtel’s the Comedy Channel, ABC TV, 3RRR FM and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

When Chop-Socky disbanded in 1999, Chau teamed up with comedian Brose Avard (whom he’d met at Latrobe University) and formed the comedy duo Darren & Brose. The pair then co-founded the Latrobe Media Group and set about writing, performing and producing comedy variety shows for the Melbourne Fringe Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Channel 31.

Chau has also written for such TV programs as ABC’s The Einstein Factor where he worked with host Peter Berner, and regular guests Barry Jones, Matt Parkinson, Jean Kittson and Red Symons.

In 2007 Chau was appointed Programming Manager for Foxtel’s the Comedy Channel, in charge of programming and local productions.
