When Tony Colletti is not performing or writing comedy, he can be found at his steady “gig” as a New York City High School teacher. His comedy derives from his own life experiences and everyday observations as a teacher, or as Tony puts it, “Doing five sets a day to a captive audience who are depending on a good grade.”  He enjoys exploiting the absurdities that go on in our lives, loves, and struggles against society's paradigms.  He is single and resides in Queens, New York.  Tony believes, “When Bad Things Happen To Good People”, we write it down and call it material!
