"The only thing surprising about Derek is that he's not bigger." –
Florida New Times. A regular on the Las Vegas Strip, Derek’s act is
fast, fresh, and at times, fanatical. He brings the funny with tales
about his Irish-Catholic upbringing, divorce, the holidays, and his
child-free existence. Described on a show review as, 'Just the right
amount of wrong.' His one hour special with The Irish Comedy
Tour can be seen on demand via Amazon Prime, DISH, DirecTV, iTunes,
VUDU, Vimeo, Google Play, Microsoft XBOX and YouTube. You can also
catch him via the SiriusXM Satellite Radio Network, his own DryBar
Comedy special, Pandora, The Weather Channel’s Top 10, & The Tom
Shillue Show on Fox News Radio Network. A veteran of several USO and
Armed Forces Entertainment tours, Richards has performed at U.S. base
camps in Iraq, Afghanistan and 15 other countries. His work for the
military has been featured in Newsweek. On the concert stage, he’s
been the opening act for Motown legends, The Temptations and The Four
Tops. His fourth comedy album, Double Down, is available via iTunes
and at derekrichards.com. Listen and watch his podcast, A Drink With
Derek, on YouTube and hear it on iTunes, Spotify and Soundcloud. In
October of 2018, Derek released his first self-published book,
Whiskey, Cancer & Bad Decisions, which is his twisted memoir of a
comedian’s journey with cancer. Snag a copy on Amazon, Kindle and
