On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Comedy,” Atlanta’s funniest locals share insights on the perks and perils of their profession. This edition features comedian Derick Marchel.
Marchel got into comedy while he was in college. He wanted to cross something off his bucket list that year: try stand-up comedy. He decided to go for it and realized how much he truly enjoyed making people laugh.
“I definitely involve the crowd in jokes in my sets because it makes it a good time, it turns it into a party,” said Marchel.
