Comedy Show - Houghton Lake - The Northern Center

Are you ready for a fun filled night of comedy?! You do NOT want to miss this show! It promises to be filled with lots of laughs and excitement! Join Derek Richards, Ann Duke, and Melissa Hager for some BIG LAUGHS!

Your headliner is the famously funny, Derek Richards! 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.

Also featuring Ann Duke! Ann has been on stage most of her life. As a small child she caught the theatre bug participating in school plays, then joining her local theatre troupe at age 12. She studied theatre at University of Michigan earning both a B.A. and M.A. In 2019, she got the bug to perform on stage again and tried her hand at stand-up by participating in comedy classes at Mark Ridley’s Comedy

Hosting this amazing show is the fabulous and hilariously funny farm girl, herself, Melissa Hager! ! She is a YouTube personality that can be funny, serious, and larger than life! She has a popular YouTube channel (MelissaHagerTV). She is a comedian, a producer, a radio and TV personality, founder of The Comedy Series, and a friend to all; but even that barely scratches the surface. Even though she only started performing stand up 7 years ago, she has quickly risen in the ranks of the comedy community. She has a bubbly personality, and an easy smile that instantly warms up even the most jaded crowd.
