Derek Sheen is a cuddly mess of insecurities, a human hug and a one-of-a-kind storyteller. Sheen has amassed a loyal fanbase touring with such acts as Patton Oswalt, Janeane Garofalo and Brian Posehn, just to name a few. He has also released four albums of his standup on Minneapolis-based Stand Up! Records with Grammy winning producer, Dan Schlissel. The Chicago Reader has said of him, "As often as his crowd seems to brace for impact, they spend more time howling at his audacity. Sheen can be crude, but he’s never alienating or upsetting".
