About

Vinny’s first ever stand-up comedy performance…an open mike night at the famous NY Comedy Club, in Manhattan, March, 1993. It was a painful experience for everyone, especially the audience, which is what drove him to improve and eventually develop his swanky show-biz career.

"My father was a typical tough Irish father... the first time he caught me smoking, he made me smoke the whole pack in front of him! ... I thought to myself, just my luck he couldn't have caught me with a woman."

Vincent was born in New Jersey but has lived in Connecticut ever since he turned ten. Due to an Irish Catholic upbringing, his stage persona reflects his self-deprecating demeanor as well as a very conservative view on marriage, kids, politics, sports, travel, current events, family upbringing, and all other influences that have forced him to express his hilarious and genuine observations.

He stays busy with such things as keeping up with his two boys, couch coaching the NY Giants and Mets, possibly selling some 1/2″ Polycarbonate sheet, and making his wife the happiest woman in the state of Connecticut. He continues to travel performing at clubs all over the country. He is very popular at the corporate level, where he relies on his experience as a plastics salesman for “customizing” a company’s needs for sales meetings, fundraisers, retirement dinners, etc. His work is extensive in political fundraisers, state and town social functions, and private family parties.

Mr. McElhone’s act has an adult overtone to it but is certainly not considered to be overboard for the average “American family.” Vincent much prefers an audience whose tastes are for creative humor as opposed to graphic language.
