## Resource

Dustin Kaufman at the Comedy Club KC is joined again by comedian Derrick Stroup! Celebrating a sold out weekend at the club, they talk about Derrick's rise from overlooked comic in Denver to selling out clubs and filming a Netflix special. Derrick shares how moving to New York and performing at the Comedy Cellar sharpened his skills, why he chose to build his career on his own terms, and how becoming a new father is shaping his next chapter. They also dive into the changing comedy industry, the power of social media clips, Derrick's upcoming theater tour, and his appearance in Nate Bargatze's upcoming movie The Breadwinner.
