About this episode

From crockpots to the Comedy Cellar, in this episode of The Comedy Den Podcast , host Jared Monroe Mittelo (CEO of Honest Fox Media) sits down with Derrick Stroup — the Alabama-born comic known for his booming delivery, sharp storytelling, and clean-but-fiery style. Together they dig into Derrick's unlikely start running bars in small-town Alabama, how Denver's progressive comedy scene sharpened his writing, the viral crockpot bit that turned into a fan favorite, and what it's like stepping into fatherhood while preparing to film his first comedy special back home in Birmingham.
