Paul Anthony has been providing laughs since childhood--starting in his parents' living room, where he would perform Steve Martin comedy albums verbatim for a captive (and slightly confused) couch-bound audience. His stand-up career took an unexpected turn while he was a graduate student at Notre Dame, where he hosted a wildly popular end-of-year talent show. He’s been hitting the stage ever since.  Today, Paul Anthony performs regularly at comedy clubs around NYC, Long Island, and beyond. He’s a crowd favorite at the Comedy Club @ Theatre Three in Port Jefferson as well as at top theater venues throughout the region. Along the way, he's shared the stage with comedy legends like Robert Klein, Gary Gulman, Chris Distefano, Vic DiBitetto, Judy Gold, and Louie Anderson.  With a sharp eye for life’s everyday absurdities—marriage, modern technology, and everything in between—Paul’s observational humor connects with audiences of all ages. He also proudly serves as the official host of the Long Island Comedy Festival, the longest running Comedy Festival of its kind.
