Tammy Pescatelli to Perform at Pittsburgh Improv (Thurs., 12/29/22)

Tammy Pescatelli

Comedian Tammy Pescatelli  brings her special brand of hilarity to Pittsburgh Improv for a three-night stand. Her star rose quickly when she made it to the final five on the NBC TV show “Last Comic Standing 2.” Pescatelli has been a coveted guest on many other shows, including “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” BRAVO TV’s “Rocco’s Dinner Party,” and CBS’s “The Talk.” Comedy Central’s 2010 “Stand-Up Showdown” crowned Pescatelli the competition’s winner, and she’s also had her own comedy special on that network. Pescatelli grew up in a large Italian family 133 miles northwest of Pittsburgh (Cleveland), and both provide her with great material. (We Pittsburghers also know how to laugh at ourselves.) She has a house in Meadville, Pa., and had a reality TV show on We TV, “A Stand Up Mother,” which was set in Meadville and focused on her life as a mother and as a stand-up comedian. One of her latest specials, “Tammy Pescatelli’s: “Way After School Special,” was filmed in early 2018, it was a follow up to Pescatelli’s award winning one hour Netflix special, “Finding the Funny.” Most recently, Pescatelli has appeared on the Showtime special “Women of a Certain Age 2.” See our 2013 feature story on Pescatelli. Head on over to the Improv, have a few cold ones, and enjoy some great comedy. 8 p.m. Performances continue through Saturday. 166 E. Bridge St., The Waterfront, Homestead.
