DC wrote a novel. It’s called The Boy Who Couldn’t Sleep And Never Had To. It’s going to be published by Broadway Books, a division of Random House. It should come out some time in the next year.

It’s being published as a “paperback original,” which means it will be immediately cheap and easy to carry around, instead of expensive and bulky.

For more of DC’s writings, you can check his personal website, dcpierson.com. There are short stories and things, and probably too many links to songs he’s into.

Tonight on “THIS IS NEW YORK!”

FREE comedy.  FREE Drink.  Check it.

To get to THE CREEK: Take the 7 train to the Jackson Ave stop (first stop in Queens) and it’s a block down on Jackson Ave.

Love it! Our weekly stand-up show, THIS IS NEW YORK, got a delicious write-up in New York Magazine.

This Is New York
The Creek and the Cave; Sundays at 9 p.m.; free
Amazingly, this night of comedy hosted by Derrick Comedy—the energetic trio of Dominic Dierkes, DC Pierson, and 30 Rock writer Donald Glover—is actually worth the schlep to Long Island City on a Sunday night (if you’re an LIC resident, you’ve probably already seen the show). The cheap sangria swirls with stand-up and sketch comedy from just-about-to-break-through locals like Aubrey Plaza (soon to be seen in Judd Apatow’s Funny People) and Eric Drysdale (The Colbert Report).

This week on TINY….wow….it spells “tiny”.  Interesting and inaccurate.  Because we have an awesome show this week which is anything but tiny.

Aubrey Plaza (Upcoming Apatow film “Funny People”)

Dan Curry

Roger Hailes (VH1)

Come on out and have a FREE first drink, as always.  It’s fun.  We swear.  Take the 7 train to the first stop in Queens.

 Also, you got an extra hour this weekend.  You don’t have an excuse.

Dudes,

This week on THIS IS NEW YORK:

Hilary Schwartz, Kelly Crisp, & Hannibal Buress

Come check us out. We’re at The Creek in Long Island City, first stop in Queens on the 7 train. And as always, the show is ABSOLUTELY FREE!! and you get a FREE DRINK!!

Pimpin it!

-DERRICK

Every week DERRICK Comedy presents our free live stand-up show, THIS IS NEW YORK, in Queens.  And this week is no exception.

In approximately six months Long Island City is going to be the coolest place in the world, but as of now, it’s a bit unknown.  Let’s address this right now:

1) Long Island City is not on Long Island.  It is, in fact, just one stop outside of Brooklyn and one stop outside of Manhattan in Queens.

2) It rules.

Everybody clear?  Great.  Let’s move on.  This week at TINY, our guests will be:

Aaron Glazer

Matt Little

Matt McCarthy

Along with (as always) stand-up from Dominic, Donald, and DC (actually, DC won’t be here this week.  But he usually does stuff.)

And it’s all free.  And every audience member gets one free drink.  No joke.  The show is at The Creek, 10-93 Jackson Ave, in Long Island City, 9 PM on Sunday the 19th, and every Sunday.  See you there, killer.
