Funny Stop Comedy Club welcomes comedian Frank Vignola!
Frank is a Delaware native who got his start in the business at Candlelight Dinner Theater doing productions of "Camelot" and "Fiddler on the Roof" under the direction of the late great Julian Borris the summer between his senior year at Christina High School and his freshman year at the University of Delaware. "If memory serves we got five dollars a show for being in the chorus but the big money was in waiting tables in costume." After college Frank moved to NYC and has been a transplanted New Yorker ever since.
In a world of politically correct comics who will give you their Theatre Wing answers as to why they became a comedian Frank prefers the sensibility of Robert Mitchum’s “I became an actor because I didn’t want to work for a living”.
Besides appearances on Comedy Central, Amazon Prime and SiriusXM radio, Mr. Vignola has also performed at Montreal's prestigious "Just for Laughs" Comedy Festival and toured the Middle East with Armed Forces Entertainment. Frank's acting credits include the film roles of "Eddie" in "Tilting at Windmills" (International Film Festival Manhattan), "Mr. Leibowitz" in "Game Night" (Amazon Prime) and voicing the character of "Dr. Robert" in the animated television pilot "Ben v World". And as a teacher he has taught stand-up at some of Manhattan's finest comedy clubs (including StandUpNY, The Laugh Lounge and Broadway Comedy Club) in addition to mentoring and private coaching 2 decades worth of aspiring comedians.
