The Comics
Rocky LaPorte, a Chicago native, was named "Comedian of the Year" at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival. In February, his half hour stand-up special on Comedy Central debuted and still runs today. Rocky recently appeared in the Tim Allen film The Shaggy Dog with another film in the works. After receiving a rare standing ovation on The Tonight Show, he will once again be Jay Leno's guest in June. "…I come from a big Italian neighborhood…Rome."

Paul D'Angelo, a former Boston District Attorney, has created, written, directed and produced several original sitcom series' As Paul climbed to the top of the national stand-up scene, Boston Magazine named him "Boston's Best Comedian." In his thick east coast accent, Paul casually declares, " I'm so Italian my birthstone is cement."

Frank Santorelli is no stranger to the biz as he's appeared in Meet the Parents, Showtime, Law and Order, Spin City, The Job, Providence and The Conan O'Brien Show. Audiences may also recognize him as 'Georgie' the bartender at the 'Bada Bling Club' on The Sopranos. Frank recently signed a deal with ABC for his first pilot Let's Be Frank. "…I grew up in an Italian neighborhood. I learned how to shave from my mother."

Willie Fratto is the youngest son of reputed Chicago mob boss Louis "Cock-Eyed" Fratto. Willie on the other hand, decided to steer away from the family business and make a living by making others laugh. He regularly packs houses doing stand-up at the Tropicana, Sahara and the Riviera Casino showrooms on the Las Vegas strip. Willie often incorporates his family history into his acts, "…when I was a kid at camp La Cosa Nostra, we'd play "Hide and Go Testify."

John Caponera, began his career in Chicago. To name just a few, his credits include a regular role on The Drew Carey Show and appearances on David Letterman, Jay Leno, Dennis Miller and ER. He was The Cabdriver in a popular series of McDonald's commercials and starred in his own NBC sitcom "The Good Life". "My wife named our first son Salvatore Caponera. I said with a name like that you might as well give him a monkey and an organ grinder!"
