Vinnie Favorito
Vinnie Favorito began delighting audiences in 1986 and was first noticed nationally as a WZOU 94.5 FM (Top 40) Star Search champion. His diverse appeal has earned him silver screen exposure on various Comedy Central shows, “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn” and the “Best Damn Sports Show Period.” He is also known throughout Hollywood as one of the country’s top “roasters” for celebrities including Tom Arnold, Jerry Springer and Larry King.
Making his way to the Las Vegas circuit in 1990, Favorito provided comic relief to the masses. He is arguably best known in Vegas for his performances at The Improv comedy club at Harrah’s.
