Joe DeRosa has made a name for himself in comedy and entertainment with six top-ten charting stand-up albums and a multitude of performances on television, radio, and in comedy clubs across the country and around the world. Joe’s debut one-hour special, titled You Let Me Down, premiered on Comedy Central in 2017, which he wrote, performed and directed. He recurred on AMC’s Better Call Saul as crooked veterinarian Dr. Caldera. From 2020 through 2024 DeRosa co-hosted the wildly popular Taste Buds—a food debate show—with Impractical Jokers’ Sal Vulcano, which was distributed through DeRosa and Vulcano’s co-owned No Press Productions Network.

Other select performance credits include: Tires, Inside Amy Schumer, Louie, Bored to Death, Chelsea Lately, Grand Theft Auto V, and two half-hour Comedy Central specials. Additionally, his writing has been featured on Netflix’s Tires and Wet Hot American Summer, HBO’s Crashing, Comedy Central’s Jeff and Some Aliens, as well as The Pete Holmes Show for TBS. Joe’s latest, much-anticipated hour special, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, which he also directed, was filmed at the historic Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA in September 2024 and was released in July 2025 to wide acclaim. It is currently available to stream on YouTube.
Joe makes regular appearances on Kill Tony, including three of its Netflix specials. He is featured in the upcoming third season of Tires, having also appeared in Season Two, and recently starred opposite Shane Gillis in a national commercial for Bud Light.
