About Joe DeRosa
Joe DeRosa has made a name for himself in comedy and entertainment with six top-ten charting stand-up albums and a multitude of performances on television, radio, and in comedy clubs across the country and around the world. Joe’s debut one-hour special, titled You Let Me Down, premiered on Comedy Central in 2017, which he wrote, performed and directed. He recurred on AMC’s Better Call Saul as crooked veterinarian Dr. Caldera. From 2020 through 2024 DeRosa co-hosted the wildly popular Taste Buds—a food debate show—with Impractical Jokers’ Sal Vulcano, which was distributed through DeRosa and Vulcano’s co-owned No Press Productions Network.
Other select performance credits include: Tires, Inside Amy Schumer, Louie, Bored to Death, Chelsea Lately, Grand Theft Auto V, and two half-hour Comedy Central specials. Additionally, his writing has been featured on Netflix’s Tires and Wet Hot American Summer, HBO’s Crashing, Comedy Central’s Jeff and Some Aliens, as well as The Pete Holmes Show for TBS. Joe’s latest, much-anticipated hour special, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, which he also directed, was filmed at the historic Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA in September 2024 and was released in July 2025 to wide acclaim. It is currently available to stream on YouTube.
Joe makes regular appearances on Kill Tony, including three of its Netflix specials. He is featured in the upcoming third season of Tires, having also appeared in Season Two, and recently starred opposite Shane Gillis in a national commercial for Bud Light.

Start Time: 7:00 PM EST
Sign-Up Begins (Sign-up Go-Up format)
* First Hour: "Another Drop in the Bucket" Prompt Mic: Comics pull topics from a bucket as prompts. This mic is intended to be fun, encouraging, and a bit more loose. Light heckling & interjecting is ok. Participating comics are encouraged to try all prompts & taking time to think or ponder on a topic is supported as the purpose of the mic is to become comfortable with thinking on the spot while on stage.
* Regular Mic- 8:00: After a short transition, the regular open mic runs with each comic getting 5 minutes to perform the material they are working on. The host will give a light at 4 minutes indicating time to wrap up. Comics who excessively run the light will be played off the stage with music.
The regular mic is intended for comics to be able to work on material they are preparing to perform for professional shows and therefore show etiquette should be observed. Etiquette includes keeping table talk to a minimum, not heckling, and generally avoiding disruptions. Comics are encouraged to stay for the full mic and support the other comics.
Note: Comics traveling 45 miles or further are able to message ahead of time to be placed on the list and will receive 7 minutes of stage time every other week.
