I'm Tony Calabrese and I've been performing comedy since 1995, specializing in corporate events and as a master of ceremonies and auctioneer for charity benefits.
At 47 years of age, I've been married for 26 years, in a row, and I have two grown sons. I talk about life, marriage, kids, the corporate world, being Italian and the trials and tribulations of staying in top physical condition.
I have 25 years experience as a banker in San Diego and I'm currently President of a local Community Bank. My humorous experiences in the banking and finance arena have made me a favorite speaker of businesses and service clubs across San Diego County.
In 2002, with three other partners, I formed Comedy Incorporated, a company that provides comedians, masters of ceremonies, and auctioneers to charity organizations for fund raising efforts. Our "Benefit in a Box" has been used by dozens of organizations to hold comedy night benefits. To date Comedy Incorporated emcees, auctioneers and comedy night benefits have helped local non-profits generate close to one million dollars.
I believe you don't have to be dirty to be funny. There are no four letter words, descriptions of bodily functions or fluids or anything else offensive in my act. Hey, I'm no prude, I raised two teenage boys, it's just not the path I choose to take. The world is funny enough without an expletive deleted.
