Paul Virzi - Stand-up Comedy Comedian

Biography

Growing up, Paul was always making people laugh, something that he continues to do today. Paul makes waves and raises eyebrows every time he touches a microphone. His universal style allows him to connect with any type of audience. White, Black, Asian or Latino, it doesn't matter because funny is funny and that is exactly what this young energetic comic is. In the year 2000 Paul entered a contest in upstate NY where he went to high school. It was called The Hudson Valley's Funniest Man for a popular radio station. The competition, which was comprised of over 20 contestants, lasted more than two months. Before he knew it, Paul had successfully passed the first two rounds, joining the last seven comics in the finals. It came down to him and one other. In the end, Paul fell short. However, this inspired him. Not only has he gone on to win many other contests, but he also came to the realization that this is what he wants to do for the rest of his life.

Although sometimes edgy, Virzi comes up with his own creative solutions to some of society's problems. Paul touches on issues such as family, race, relationships, current events, politics, his Italian and Greek heritage, and even goofs on himself about some of his own personal weaknesses.

Paul has preformed all over New York City at such clubs as The New York Comedy Club, Stand-Up New York, Comic Strip Live, Caroline's, The Laugh Factory, and the NY Improv. He has since done a taping for XM Satellite Radio and performed at The Las Vegas Comedy Festival where he was a finalist in a contest that featured 70 professional comics from across the country. He also did a spot on the morning show of one of New York's top radio stations 98.7 kiss fm. He is now taking his act on the road and featuring in many of the top comedy clubs across the country and has been called one of the strongest up and coming comics in the industry.
