Paddy's Comedy Club presents Derek Richards and Chris Wooley on Thursday, August 6th!
Sit back and be prepared to LAUGH out LOUD with our showcase of nationally touring comedians!
Headliner: 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.
Feature: Chris Wooley started young, reciting movies and doing school plays. He would improvise his stories in English class when he forgot the assignment and get A’s for the performance. His first performance was when a teacher asked him to be late to his class so he could do impersonations of the other teachers. His performance in that class made his act in school a weekly routine. Fast forward to present day, and Chris is traveling all over making fans wherever he goes. Chris’s likability on stage, along with relatable subject matter, is infectious and unforgettable. His comedy covers issues from fighting obesity since he was a child and his addictions with drugs and alcohol to dealing with the humors of marriage and raising a daughter. He was voted Beach’s Best Comic 3 years in a row along with winning several other contests and being featured on the Canadian Food Network. He has been blessed to share the stage with great comics such as Bobcat Goldthwait, Bret Ernst, Josh Wolf, and many more. Chris may have lost his weight, but his personality is much bigger than he ever was.
