A collaboration of 3 headlining comedians that have come together for 1 hilarious show. Dan Mengini, Steve Mingolla & Vinnie Coppola are the wise guys. Dan is a comedy veteran that has been rocking comedy stages over for 20 years.

Dubbed “The Nice Guy”, Steve’s act is clean & never mean. A true comedy pro, he has performed in over 40 states, his mastery of the craft is second to none. For over 2 decades Vinnie has been spreading his uniquely skewed & charmingly cynical perspective to appreciative comedy audiences everywhere. A “comic’s comic”. His real secret weapon is his persona, from the moment he hits the stage you fall in love with him & this has allowed him to lead an audience up to & sometimes over, the comedy edge much to their unexpected delight.
