Carmen Ciricillo is a veteran stand-up comedian who has spent more than 35 years performing in comedy clubs, theaters, corporate events and venues across the country. His credits include three seasons as the humorous toolman on Discovery Channel’s Your New House, a Dry Bar Comedy special, appearances on MTV’s Ridiculousness and the Travel Channel, and comedy specials heard on SiriusXM. Carmen has toured with NASCAR, headlined Volvo’s Hard Hat Comedy Tour, and worked as a writer and comedic actor for brands including KIA, Google and Holigan Homes. Today, Carmen’s comedy reaches an even larger audience, with more than 500,000 followers across social media.

Carmen’s stand-up style is conversational, observational and rooted in his blue-collar upbringing. Growing up in an Italian-American family—and being raised in large part by his off-the-boat Italian grandmother—gave him a unique point of view on family, relationships, work and the way people behave. He talks to an audience the way he talks to people in real life, finding the comedy in marriage, getting older, family, blue-collar life and the absurd things people do every day. His years onstage give his shows a loose, spontaneous feel, where the audience feels like they’re part of the conversation rather than simply watching a performance. It’s relatable, unpredictable and personal—the kind of comedy that makes you feel like you’ve known Carmen for years, even if you’re seeing him for the first time.
