The King of Staten Island
Scott has been a case of arrested development ever since his firefighter father died when he was seven. He's now reached his mid-20s having achieved little, chasing a dream of becoming a tattoo artist that seems far out of reach. As his ambitious younger sister heads off to college, Scott is still living with his exhausted ER nurse mother and spends his days smoking weed, hanging with the guys — Oscar, Igor and Richie — and secretly hooking up with his childhood friend Kelsey. But when his mother starts dating a loudmouth firefighter named Ray, it sets off a chain of events that will force Scott to grapple with his grief and take his first tentative steps toward moving forward in life.
Mike Vecchione: Low Income White
Mike Vecchione’s “Low Income White” turns clean comedy on its head with a razor-sharp set that’s equal parts smart, self-deprecating, and relentlessly funny. With the gritty rhythm of the Northeast and the polish of a comedy veteran, Vecchione unloads a barrage of fast-paced, observational humor that hits on everything from aging and generational divides to the absurdity of modern life. Navigating the world with sarcastic precision and deadpan charm, Vecchione doesn’t pull punches—but he doesn’t play favorites either. No one is safe, including himself. It’s clean comedy with an edge, and a masterclass in making the mundane feel hilariously high-stakes.
Mike Vecchione: The Attractives
In his debut one hour special, "The Attractives," directed & produced by friend and fellow comedian, Nate Bargatze, Mike talks about everything from relationships to running with the bulls. Because "The Attractives," was shot in Nashville, Tennessee, it sets Mike's unique New York City style against a fun-loving, southern audience, making it one of the premiere comedy specials of 2023.
Gotham Comedy Live
Gotham Comedy Club, a popular comedy venue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, is the setting of an hourlong series that is shot in front of an audience at the club. Each episode features routines by several comics -- a list that has included such names as David Alan Grier, Gilbert Gottfried and Artie Lange -- in what the network says is an unedited and uncensored format. In addition to the big names of the field who take the Gotham stage, the show also features up-and-comers who want to make a name for themselves in the stand-up comedy business.
