Derrick Tennant

Derrick suffered a life-altering brain injury that ended a promising sports career, but it certainly didn’t slow down his LIFE. Unable to use much of his body’s left side, he still competed internationally, playing basketball. Derrick incorporates his disability into his jokes at the club and his message of changing obstacles into opportunities in corporate presentations worldwide.

Clean, Inspirational, and actually funny. This is a combination that is tough to find. Derrick makes a living inspiring people laugh and often makes them laugh along the way. Whether online with Zoom or in person from the stage, your audience will be moved. From entertaining at an A-list comedy club on Friday night to a Saturday afternoon magic show at the Children’s Hospital or speaking at Sunday morning service, Derrick is versatile. You’ve seen him on The Mike Huckabee Show, DRYBAR Comedy, PUREFLIX, and more. A gifted communicator, Derrick will capture your audience’s attention and powerfully convey the message. As an accomplished magician, he can add more value to your event by creating smiles and “wows” at the cocktail hour or even after an event.

A minimalist, Derrick has no house or apartment.  All his possessions actually fit in one carry-on.  He has seven shirts. (Yes, Monday, Tuesday, Wed… )  He travels worldwide, bringing smiles and communicating his message:  Live Simply.  Love Wastefully.

Derrick prides himself in custom tailoring each performance.  Virtual or live, his presentation is catered specifically for your company and/ or the audience.  He also uses your theme, logos, colors, and the like in his presentation on screen. He will work with you directly to ensure it is a home run for everyone!
