(NEWTON, NJ) -- The Newton Theatre welcomes back comedian Vic DiBitetto on Friday, May 5, 2017 at 8:00pm. DiBitetto, known as The Italian Hurricane, is one of the hottest stand-up comedians in the country. An incredibly powerful performer, DiBitetto churns energy, honesty and humanity into nonstop laughter at a frenetic pace. He’s been called a cross between Rodney Dangerfield and Ralph Kramden. DiBitetto leaves his audiences breathless with laughter and is referred to as a “killer” by most other comics.
Vic is featured in Kevin James’ 2015 movie Mall Cop: Blart 2. He is an internet sensation with tens of millions of YouTube views and his now famous Bread and Milk, Justin Bieber and Kanye West viral rants, he performs on radio and television and has brought his stand-up act to many prestigious venues.

Vic had driven a school bus for special needs children for 20 years. His wife, Lucy, was the matron on the bus. In 2014 they were finally able to “get off the bus” and focus solely on Vic’s career.
