Joe Montaperto Profile

Joe Montaperto, a native of Brooklyn and Roselle, NJ, studied acting and improv in New York, graduating to stage and screen work before embarking on the comedy circuit in the edgy, crack-riddled New York City of the 1980’s, with the likes of Jon Stewart, John Leguizamo, and Dave Attell. He later took his training to his one-man show, Four Degrees of Disconnection, performing in and around theaters in the city between 1999 – 200. Finally flaming out, he headed to the Ecuadorian Amazon jungle for some serious soul searching. An avid traveler and spiritual seeker, Joe also prides himself on having lived in some of the worst places in the world, and still thoroughly enjoys making prank phone calls. Nobody Gets Out Of Catering Alive is his final book in the trilogy, followed by Lovely Chaos – the sequel to his first memoir - The Edge of Whiteness.
