(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents a night of comedy with the Italian monsters of comedy, Eric D’Alessandro (“Mask Off Remix – Walmart Diss”) and Vic DiBitetto (Working Class Zero) on Saturday, April 14, 2023 at 8:00pm in Prudential Hall.
The Goodfellas of comedy. They are comedy in a red sauce. One comes from a large Italian family in Staten Island. The other comes from a large Italian family in Brooklyn, then moved to Staten Island (which is Brooklyn with a cover charge). Now they’re joining forces on the Funny How? Tour. Don’t miss this hilarious, uncensored comedy duo.
New York native Eric D’Alessandro has always found his place in the spotlight. His passion for comedy is equally credited to his creative mindset, as well as his big Italian-American family which inspires his raw comedic sketches and uncensored, relatable rhetoric. Having grown up with a camera in his hand, Eric created a YouTube channel where he developed his comedic skills from a young age. Through his sketches which feature original characters like “Maria Marie,” as well as impressions of celebrities like Drake and comedic covers of popular songs, his YouTube platform helped Eric build a loyal fanbase. The millions of views on his videos laid the groundwork for Eric to gain over 255k followers on Instagram and over 477k followers on TikTok. Through social media, Eric is able to share original, timely and relatable content for the everyday American. His video “Mask Off Remix (Walmart Diss)” has gone viral gaining over 16 million views across all his platforms. Due to the success of this video, Forbes featured Eric in an article about his comedy and ability to connect with fans online as well as on stage.
Vic DiBitetto has created many viral video characters like Tony Gaga, That Guy, Frankie Pentangelli, Fool by the Pool and Ticked Off Vic. His Yankee and Giant locker room satires are now legendary. And his Bread and Milk video is like a Christmas Carole that comes back on TV, radio and news outlets every time it snows almost anywhere in the world. Trust us. You’ve never seen anything like Vic DiBitetto on stage. Vic DiBitetto…blue collar comedy in a red sauce. His pace is frenetic. He holds no hostages. He says what you are thinking but are afraid to say out loud. The bottom line is this: Wear adult diapers if you are going to see Vic DiBitetto perform live.
