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.
