    Joe DeRosa (born August 6, 1977) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, podcaster, musician, and restaurateur known for his raw, unfiltered comedy style blending brutal honesty and frustration with the world. He began his career in the early 2000s performing in Philadelphia and later New York City comedy clubs, quickly gaining recognition with appearances on shows like Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” and “Comedy Central Presents.”

    DeRosa has released several comedy albums including The Depression Auction and You Let Me Down, and made notable television appearances on Better Call Saul (as Dr. Caldera), Louie, Inside Amy Schumer, and Bored to Death. He has writing credits on Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp and Crashing, and co-wrote and starred in the short film Cheat.

    In addition, Joe co-hosts the podcasts We’ll See You in Hell and Taste Buds, and in 2021 opened Joey Roses, a popular sandwich shop in New York City. His comedy is marked by sharp wit, vulnerability, and a countercultural edge, making him a favorite on the stand-up circuit and beyond.
