December Headlner: Tammy Pescatelli
Comedian Tammy Pescatelli is the kind of woman you wish was your sister or your best friend. Like a good sister she���s always ready with a good joke or lively quip. Pescatelli grew up in a large crazy Italian family outside of Cleveland and went on to marry into an even larger crazier Italian family and has a little boy that she named after her husband-���just to prepare for Alzheimer���s!���
Her most recent 1 hour special ���Finding the Funny��� was released recently in an exclusive deal with the trailblazing company NETFLIX. Pescatelli���s eye for actually finding the funny in all situations is what is already bringing the project critical acclaim from fans and peers alike. ���Finding The Funny��� reached #3 on ITunes. Her reality series A Stand Up Mother (which she co-created executive produced, wrote and starred in) on WEtv documented her life as she balanced her family and her growing career with a lot of laughs.
Being one of the Final Five on NBC���s ���Last Comic Standing 2? catapulted Pescatelli���s career and won her a slew of new fans solidifying her as one of the sharpest women in the comedy world. She was recently chosen by Jenny McCarthy���s to be part of her ���Dirty Sexy Funny��� comedy special that aired on Epix on February 14th. She is currently touring around the country with ���Dirty Sexy Funny��� and was recently on ���The View.��� She also appeared on Howard Stern.
