Bio

    Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Deric Harrington... now he
performs stand-up comedy. He went to college to become an actor, but he realized that most great playwrights can stand on their own in terms of their work... they don't really need someone to make their words profound...

    It was then that Deric decided to pursue a different avenue.

    In his words: "There's something really exciting about living and dying by your own words.  The rush when the crowd laughs... there's nothing like it." And the crowds are laughing.  Since starting comedy in 2003, Deric was voted Funniest Person in upstate New York, and the Second Funniest Person in Peoria, IL.  He continues to entertain audiences wherever he goes with his unique stage persona and point-of-view. When forced at knifepoint to describe himself, he said, "Please take that knife out of my spleen." 

But don’t take our word for it, listen to these people instead:

Deric is a great guy and he's going to be a comedy star one day. His passion and heart is in standup...”

If Emo Phillips and Jesus have a baby, it’d be Deric”
