Comedian Derek Sheen turns decades of strange encounters, hard-earned perspective, and hilariously uncomfortable life experiences into comedy gold with his new stand-up special, Unrelatable, produced by Blonde Medicine and now streaming on YouTube.
Poor Derek Sheen. He has a seemingly endless collection of hilarious stories and unbelievable anecdotes, yet somehow, after 55 years on the planet, he still considers himself completely Unrelatable.
Throughout the hour-long special, Sheen checks in on life at 55, delivering his distinctively sharp and darkly comedic perspective on aging, health, mortality, and the bizarre experiences that have accumulated over the course of his life. What begins as a reflection on getting older quickly expands into an unpredictable journey through the mind of a comedian who has seen—and survived—more than enough material for several lifetimes.
Among the special’s more unusual themes is Sheen’s realization that he has somehow encountered an alarming number of dead bodies throughout his life. Rather than shy away from the darker corners of his experiences, Sheen turns them into deeply personal storytelling filled with absurd observations and unexpected punchlines.
Unrelatable showcases Sheen’s ability to find humor in subjects that might otherwise feel uncomfortable, transforming aging, mortality, social awkwardness, and life’s indignities into stories audiences can laugh at—even if Sheen insists they can’t relate.
Produced by Blonde Medicine, Derek Sheen: Unrelatable is now streaming on YouTube, offering comedy fans an hour of fearless storytelling from a veteran comedian who proves that sometimes being “unrelatable” makes for the most memorable comedy.
