Fast-rising comedy star Darren Harriott looks back at working as a bouncer on the doors of nightclubs and shops. From 2019.

Darren looks back at his time as a bouncer working on the doors of nightclubs and shops. 

On a zero hours contract and trying to make it as a comedian, he looks back at the fights and insults he faced, and the friendships on the door.

Recorded in Darren's hometown of Birmingham, Black Label explores the different labels and roles he's been assigned throughout his life - Brummie, gang member, brother and son, bouncer and now comic. 

Each episode of Black Label consists of incredibly open-hearted stories from the front line of Darren's life - challenging, enlightening and properly funny comedy.
