Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n Starring Vic Dibitetto and Eric D\u2019Alessandro<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday, March 4, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n 8:00PM<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vic Dibitetto is returning to The State Theatre in Easton, Pa. Vic will co-headlining with fellow comic Eric D\u2019Alessandro. I was able to talk to the legend that is Vic Dibitetto for The Valley Ledger.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hi Vic, we are so excited that you\u2019re coming back to The State Theatre. We are excited to see you and Eric.<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Us too. We can\u2019t wait.<\/strong><\/p>\n What are you expecting from the show?<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Some good rapid fire, honest, relatable old school comedy. Eric is half my age. You\u2019re going to hear from his side, and then your going to hear from my side. That\u2019s why we got this tour together to combine both of our audiences. He speaks for the younger people; I speak for the older people.<\/strong><\/p>\n How did you get started in this industry? I\u2019ve been watching your videos for a long time, and ever since the \u201cBread & Milk\u201d<\/a> came out, it\u2019s genuinely funny. We have to share it when it snows or just to laugh. It\u2019s genuine.<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- [Laughing] You know what the beauty of that video is, I\u2019ve been doing these videos since 2009, but that\u2019s the first one that went viral. That\u2019s the video that\u2019s never going away. It\u2019s like Christmas carols, it comes back every winter.<\/strong><\/p>\n How did you get started in this industry, and did you always know this is what you wanted to do?<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Yes, like most comics, I was the class clown. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and there was a comedy club called Pip\u2019s Comedy Club, and at that time it was the oldest comedy club, and a lot of people started there\u2026 George Carlin, Rodney, everybody started there. It was amateur night and a friend of mine said, why don\u2019t you give it a shot? I went onstage, and I liked it. I kept doing it, and I realized I could get paid doing this. I started featuring and opening for big names. It\u2019s been a great journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n What do you take away from touring, and being at these different venues?<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- No matter where you go, people want to laugh.<\/strong><\/p>\n What is your favorite moment or something that you take away from doing a show?<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- When I do a meet and greet, and people come up to me, and say, Vic, you got me through my bad days, my depression, you got me through COVID. You can\u2019t compare that to any standing ovation or sold-out show. People tell me that I make them forget about life for a while\u2026 like Billy Joel once said.<\/strong><\/p>\n We are so excited that you\u2019re coming back to Easton. This tour has been going across the country.<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Yes, me and Eric have been to Ohio, Georgia, and Texas, but we\u2019re looking forward to Easton because let\u2019s face it, we\u2019re both from New York, and Pennsylvania is just like New York. We like working close to home.<\/strong><\/p>\n What do you want to say to everybody that will be going to the show?<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Come on out, and have a good time. Put the phones down, enjoy the moment, have a few laughs, and let me entertain you. You got to laugh, I know it sounds clich\u00e9 but it really is the best medicine. It\u2019s good for the heart, and it\u2019s good for the soul. We have been through a lot in the past couple of years. It\u2019s good when I hear a room full of people laughing. Let me and Eric entertain you.<\/strong><\/p>\n I agree, laughter is the best and the world is insane so, it\u2019s good to have people like you and Eric.<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Yes.<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you have any words of wisdom or advice for fellow writers, comics etc.?<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Yes, you either have to be lucky or you break you\u2019re ass. It took me forty years to be an overnight success. Just show up, and put your time in, pay your dues, follow your dreams, and keep plugging. That\u2019s all you can do.<\/strong><\/p>\n What\u2019s it like for you working with Eric? You both are co-headlining this tour.<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Oh my God, Eric. When I look at him, that was me thirty years ago. He is tough to follow. We are both headliners. He\u2019s not an opening act, we\u2019re co-headlining. He\u2019s very good looking, and when he goes onstage, you can hear the women screaming. He makes me work harder because he\u2019s a tough act to follow. He\u2019s my sons age, it\u2019s crazy. He talks about what it\u2019s like with parents, and I talk about what it\u2019s like to have kids. That\u2019s why this show works so well.<\/strong><\/p>\n I think it fits well. The two of you are similar but different. It makes sense.<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Exactly.<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you so much Vic. It was an honor to talk to you, and we\u2019re so glad you are coming back to Easton.<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Thank you. I really appreciate that. This is my third time there, and my first time with Eric.<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you, Vic. We are looking forward to the show. Thank you for the laughter.<\/em><\/p>\n Vic- Thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n GET TICKETS TO THE SHOW.<\/p>\n https:\/\/statetheatre.org\/shows\/show-information<\/a><\/p>\n Vic Dibitetto<\/p>\n https:\/\/vicdibitetto.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n Eric D\u2019Alessandro<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.ericdalessandro.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ericdalessandro\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Janel Spiegel Interview with Vic Dibitetto Uncle Vinnie\u2019s Comedy Club presents: Funny How?
