Drew Desbordes (Druski) is a comedian who has captivated and respected audiences like no other. He has not only won many hearts with his comedic sketches, but he has also left his mark on the entertainment business.
He has effectively parlayed his sense of humour into a media empire. According to Forbes, he has opened for multiple gigs by artists such as J. Cole and Lil Baby. Druski is also an actor, having been in TV shows such as “House Party” and “Praise This,” as well as his own sold-out comedy tour “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda.”The first tour began in March 2023 in Richmond, Virginia, and stopped in 30 different locations.
“It’s a dream come true to headline my own comedy tour. I’ve been fortunate to tour alongside several of the biggest musicians in the world and get valuable experience, but now I’m ready to take the next step in my career. I’m coming off my most successful year in comedy and it’s time to show the world my growth as an entertainer,” Druski shared in a statement.
He also has his own parody label, Coulda Been Records, as well as business collaborators such as Nike, Google, and AT&T. In addition, he is the spokesperson for Happy Dad, a hard seltzer brand that he owns in part.
He has established his own sports agency, 4Lifers. His firm made an immediate impact by signing Florida Gators edge rusher Princely Umanmielen as its first athlete client.
Druski said of his agency, “Launching 4Lifers Sports Agency allows me to combine my two passions — sports and entertainment. Our team is committed to providing athletes with the resources, support, and marketing opportunities to grow on and off the field. [Umanmielen is] the top-ranked edge rusher in the SEC, and we wholeheartedly believe in his potential to become a game-changing star that will thrive at the next level for years to come.”
According to Forbes, he is one of the top-earning content creators in the world, with a social media following of 12 million and profits of $10 million.
It was not simple for him to get to the top as a content creator and earn millions from his skill. According to Forbes, he began out broke. He relied on his mother’s old furniture in the living room because he didn’t have enough money to set up a standard studio for his comedy sketches.
“I was sitting at my mom’s house, broke, about 23 years old using her furniture in the living room as my set,” Druski said. “I just was using what I had, and it worked out for me. I think social media during the pandemic was a big time because nobody was going outside or doing anything. A lot of people were tuned in to everything I was doing on social media.”
Druski intended to be a sports broadcaster before starting his social media profession and studied it at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA. He did, however, drop out of university after two semesters.
