JOE DEVITO

Joe DeVito was born in Manhattan and ran wild on the mean streets of the Bronx until the age of 18 months, when his family moved to the suburbs. Along the way, they instilled in him a love of good food and storytelling, values that today make him an up-and-coming comic who is 15 pounds overweight.

Class clown, bookworm, heavy metal guitarist, disgruntled employee and unlikely weight lifting competitor are roles he's played, but "wise ass" is the one that suits him best. In 2001, Joe's coworkers insisted he try stand-up comedy, which quickly led to his exit from the corporate world. He currently performs at clubs all over the east coast and co-hosts the No Relation Comedy Show" in New York City. He's also written for Stuff Magazine, MTV and the hit movie "Super Size Me."

Smart, silly and likeable, Joe DeVito is winning over audiences who like to think as much as they like to laugh.

"DeVito opened with a set that was as fast paced as it was funny. Extremely disobedient of the term 'politically correct,' he seems to have an endless pile of inappropriate one-liners in his head... yet deadpans all of this 100% with just the right amount of self-deprecation."
