| Bio | Joe DeRosa started his stand-up comedy career in Philadelphia during the winter of 2001. He soon relocated to New York City and began working at venues such as Stand-up New York, the Comic Strip, and Gotham Comedy Club. He also made appearances on “Last Call with Carson Daly,” Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend,” the “New Faces” showcase at the Montreal Comedy Festival and on national tours such as Dave Chappelle’s “Block Party Tour,” the “Insomniac Tour with Dave Attell,” and “Comedy Central on Campus.” Joe continues to perform constantly, making television appearances and headlining clubs and colleges both in and out of the country. Most recently, he co-starred in a network pilot presentation for Comedy Central entitled “The Watch List,” made a guest appearance on the IFC series “Z-Rock,” and was one of twelve comedians selected to perform on HBO’s brand new stand-up comedy show “Down and Dirty with Jim Norton.” Joe also taped a half-hour “Comedy Central Presents” special which aired in the fall/winter of 2008. | | Website | joederosacomedy.com, thenameisdeep.com | | Influences | George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen, Frank Zappa, Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, Jackie Gleason, and Bob Hope. | | TV Shows | Comedy Central Presents Joe DeRosa, HBO's Down and Dirty with Jim Norton, IFC's ZRock, Last Call with Carson Daly, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend | | Films | "Hysterical" - written and directed by Bradley Kaye | | Albums | DEEP - "The Game Plan," Salsa Windfall - "TWOINTHE/ONEINTHE," Bernie Bernie Headflap - "Less Like Penguins" |
