State of Comedy

Growing up in an Italian household and having lived in Italy, Switzerland, New York City and finally, the Detroit metro area, he has woven his Italian heritage into his comedy routine. Having been a fan of comedy all his life, Sal took a class at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle, and got hooked on the laughter and applause after putting on a show for his graduation assignment. From there he went on to area bars, coffee houses and restaurants to hone his skills. Since he started doing open mics 14 years ago, Sal is a national headliner, performing at comedy clubs throughout the United States, and has also performed at all the comedy clubs in the Detroit metro area. His professional inspirations have been Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor and Jerry Seinfeld. After attending Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI, Sal finally graduated after 12 years. It took that long, as he took time off to spend at various clubs perfecting his act. His observational style and family-oriented materials appeal to all ages and all walks of life. Since Sal touches on a variety of topics, everyone in the audience can relate to at least one of them.
