Rick D'elia

Originally from Boston, Rick has been a recurring sketch performer on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno whose keen observational humor & quick wit lead him to the finals in the prestigious San Francisco Comedy Competition. People are talking about this kid. So what's the latest buzz?

"Never heard of him." -- Film critic Jeffery Lyons

"Never heard of him." --Rick's father

"As long as he stays the required 500 yards away at all times, I don't give a rat's ass what he does!"Rick's ex-girlfriend

While maintaining that 500 yard limitation, Rick has appeared on other TV shows such as Comedy Central's Stand-up Stand-up, Comedians Unleashed, Grand Slam Comedy Jam, National Lampoon's Funny Money and Starz/Encore's West Coast Comedy. He has headlined clubs all across the country and entertained our troops in Japan, Korea, Italy, Bahrain, and Germany.

On the side, Rick performs in a comedy duo called Hits & Giggles with fellow stand-up Adam Stone. Their show combines stand-up comedy, inane banter, and music that draws upon material from the 1960's right up to present day. Picture a contemporary cross between The Smothers Brothers and Cheech & Chong (without the bong water).

Off-stage, Rick has produced & sold three stand-up specials to the Showtime Network: Going Native (9/09), Green Collar Comedy Slam (4/10) and The Godfathers of Comedy (1/11). In 2006 this "wicked die-hahd" Red Sox aficionado had his first book published: How to Talk to a Yankee Fan a tongue-in-cheek look at the rivalry between the Yankees and the rest of America.

Today, in addition to stand-up, Rick is the director, writer, and co-host of the Half Hour Happy Hour a late night comedy show on the CW Network in northern Nevada & California.
