Alabama native, Waffle House enthusiast and stand-up comedian Derrick Stroup is not your average slow talking Southerner. With the cadence of an angry auctioneer, he locks people in with his detailed stories and over the top energy. He recently filmed his first Netflix comedy special, Nostalgic, which premieres globally on March 10th. Derrick can also be seen at the world-famous Comedy Cellar in New York City along with headlining clubs across the country.
Stroup made his debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2023, and returned for his second appearance in 2025. His newest special, Nostalgic, dives into the time of being a 90’s kid growing up in rural Alabama and everything that came along with it. From partying with friends to board games and parental relationships, Stroup packs his rapid-fire storytelling with sharp observations and high energy that keeps audiences locked in from start to finish.
Stroup is set to appear in the upcoming Nate Bargatze film The Breadwinner, and continues to tour alongside national headliners Bert Kreischer, Larry the Cable Guy, John Crist, and Nate Bargatze. Derrick will start on his first headlining theater tour this fall. For tickets and dates to the Derrick Stroup: Running Hot Tour please visit: derrickstroupcomedy.com
