Derek delgaudio card shark how to#
Working with someone who knows how to do your job makes for better work. But I'm always watching as someone who knows what it's like to be on stage. When Neal is on stage performing, he trusts me to guide him. DelGaudio: We both bring everything we have to the table. Must be a nice change of pace from his show, which he did over 700 times. I would imagine a nice part for Derek is that as a director on Unacceptable he doesn't have to show up every night once we started going. If we do it as a writer, actor or director, it's all the same goal. And you do what it takes to get it done.Īre all those roles ever clearly defined? Brennan: The roles can be clearly defined but ultimately, it's just trying to make the thing better. Sometimes that requires a different hat, but it's all one job. Derek DelGaudio: It's all one job: Make great art. We shot it last summer, they just haven't stopped airing it for a year so it seems like harder work than it was. The credit card commercial was one I directed and decided to jump into because it was easier than watching casting tapes. How do navigate those roles? Neal Breannan: I don't do that much ultimately. You both wear many hats…actor, director, writer, producer, storyteller, magician, comedian…Neal, you even appear as yourself in a national credit card commercial. Playbill chatted with Brennan and DelGaudio about categories and roles, and why the exploration of identity is a good topic for mining. Brennan can currently be seen on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, where he serves as a writer, creative consultant, and on-air correspondent. He is a three-time Emmy nominee for his work on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show. "Derek is the thumb." (DelGaudio's own solo show, In & Of Itself, about the illusion of one's identity, ran Off-Broadway from 2016–2018.)īrennan's previous solo show, 3 MICS, premiered Off-Broadway in 2016 and was filmed for a 2017 Netflix special. "The list of people who've done good one person shows can be counted on one hand," he said.
The two had never worked together before, but Brennan reached out to DelGaudio to direct. In Neal Brennan: Unacceptable, now running at Cherry Lane Theatre, the writer and stand-up comedian examines his own personality in an attempt to understand why he doesn't "fit in." "It's a tragedy masquerading as a comedy," says director Derek DelGaudio of Neal Brennan's latest solo show.
