  That funny guy you meet at every party takes it to the stage for a party of his own...It’s 8:30 PM. You and your friends are laughing hysterically at that guy you meet at every party. You know, the guy who holds court in the living room entertaining the guests. But wait - you’re not at a party. You are watching ACE ACETO work his welcome to my living room style of comedy. Let the show begin...Growing up in an Italian/Catholic household and going to Catholic school as a kid has made Ace Aceto what he is today…inquisitive and irreverent!He may look young, but for over 20 years Ace Aceto has been entertaining audiences with his unique and edgy twist on topics ranging from The Dangers of Buffalo Wings to Catholic Guilt. Ace energetically works the stage adding lots of audience participation to his shows. With his instantly likable stage presence-and ability to walk the line between innocent boy-next-door and biting edge comic, Ace Aceto takes his audiences on a hysterical ride, performing dead on impressions of Casey Kasem, Gilbert Gottfried, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Peter Griffin. Throughout his shows, you never know what will come out of his mouth next, as he plows through hot topics and current issues, saying what most folks think, but are afraid to say.Ace Aceto has worked with such comic luminaries as Anthony Clark, Jeff Dunham, Jim Breuer, Brett Butler, The Amazing Jonathan, Kevin Meany, Jim Gaffigan, Jon Stewart, Dom Irrera, and Lewis Black (just to name a few). Ace has also opened for such acts as Huey Lewis & The News, David Cassidy, and Herb Reed & the Platters.For booking information call: (781)-799-3884 Show less
