   Joe DeRosa's Comedian Bio
BioJoe DeRosa started stand-up comedy by hitting the Wednesday night open mic at the Laff House in Philadelphia, PA. Within a year, he was a regular there and at all the major clubs in the surrounding area. It was not long before Joe made the jump to New York City to take up comedy as a full time gig. He quickly began working frequently at New York venues such as Caroline’s, Stand-up New York, the Laugh Factory, and Gotham Comedy Club. He also made appearances on “Last Call with Carson Daly,” Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend,” and the “New Faces” showcase at the Montreal Comedy Festival. In addition, he’s performed on national tours such as Dave Chappelle’s “Block Party Tour” and the “Insomniac Tour” with Dave Attell. Joe continues to perform constantly, making television appearances and headlining clubs and colleges both in and out of the country.

I wish I could remember who said that about couples therapy... but they spoke highly of you (it does seem counterintuitive, no?). In Cleveland. Why? For the plethora of cured and smoked meat products. There's some kind of a rib fest this weekend. I will probably die here of a pork overdose.

Hey Joe,

Thanks much for the drop-by at Ochi's two evenings ago (to prepare for your HBO *TAPING*).

And a hearty "congrats" on Montreal - we'll simply move your July Semi-Final Spot to a future Semi-Final - whichever of the other two semi-final dates that ends up working better for YOU (we'll probably have one sometime in September/October, and then the third and final one sometime in November/December, right before the December CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWDOWN), so that you can get the fair crack you earned by winning Season 1, Episode 2, at the FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR CASH PRIZE and, of course, more importantly, the title of "2008's Best Comedian In NYC (In Eric I's Audience's Opinion)."

Peace Out, Joe, And To Continued Success Throughout The Rest Of 2008,

Eric I

And I thought I was last fan of Erick and Parrish Making Ducats.

And kudos to them for reviving the word "ducats."

Until the 80's, I thought that Shakespeare was going to chalk that word up as a loss.

Hope you're well, Joe.

And congrats on the camera. You are really inching up to that creepy perv level of myspace and i kind of liked it. Like I was in your place, just hiding... watching...listening...waiting...
