Derek Waters
There’s an old proverb, “When the wine goes in, the wit goes out.” Well, Derek Waters is putting those words to the test. He created a series of popular web videos for the site FunnyorDie.com where he gets a drunk buddy to describe an important event in American history. The event is then re-enacted in full period costumes by the likes of Jack Black, Michael Cera, and others. He calls it Drunk History. Oh, and he’s also the star of the new indie comedy Bar Starz.
