About Derek

"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 Audible.

Corporate Comedy

Derek has performed hundreds of corporate comedy shows throughout his career. This experience makes him a perfect fit for your group or function.

From headline performer to a host for your event, Derek will help make your function something that people will be talking about for years to come.

60 MPH School Zone

This release is like spending time at a pub talking with a friend who jokes about his divorce, no kids, his Irish-Catholic upbringing, living in Las Vegas, working as a strip club DJ, and much more.

"60 MPH School Zone" is a politically incorrect roller coaster ride that you're sure to enjoy.

Available on: Amazon.com

Derek's Book

In 1998, comedian Derek Richards was 32 years old when he began feeling like something wasn’t right. He wasn’t sure what it was, he only knew he didn’t feel the way he should. The last thing he was prepared for was to hear that he had cancer.

In this memoir, Derek takes you through his journey with cancer - from the diagnosis that changed his life forever, through remission, all the way to the lessons of how being a cancer survivor has forever affected how he lives his life. Using his own kind of twisted humor, he tells his story in a way that will captivate, inspire and leave you laughing out loud. So, pour two shots of Irish whiskey and have a seat at the bar next to Derek, and spend a few hours listening to your new friend. You’ll be glad you did.

Comedian, author and cancer survivor Derek Richards is a favorite at comedy clubs, cruise ships, and corporate events. Born in Detroit, he now resides in Las Vegas.
