ROCHESTER - Dave Russo is a comedian like no other. He's a diminutive guy with a big voice, whose high energy act never fails to leave audiences doubled over in laughter.
Russo, who will appear at the Rochester Opera House on June 23, has yet to meet a crowd that he can't win over with his charm and upbeat attitude. His quick wit and clever improvisation skills keep audiences on their toes, never sure where his mind will ricochet to next. His artful storytelling, combined with his flair for theatrics, and killer Robert DeNiro impression, has entertained audiences around the country.
Recently named "Best Male Comic" in the city by the Boston Examiner, Dave Russo has been a mainstay of Boston comedy for the last 15 years. As co-host of NESN's Dirty Water TV, he produces a regular comedy series, in addition to reporting on the best of Boston night life. He has appeared on The E! TV series "The Entertainer", NBC's "The Today Show," FOX 25 with Gene Lavanchy, "The Phantom Gourmet," and was hand selected by the producer of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" to perform on NESN's Comedy All-Stars. Russo was recently featured on BostonGlobe.com's "Boston, A Comedy Capital" panel, where he participated in a discussion of the history and future of Boston comedy. You can hear him every Friday on 980 WCAP.
He also performs regularly for the troops, appearing with the U.S.O. at shows all over the country and on Dennis Leary's annual "Comics Come Home" to benefit The Neely House.
Other charity work includes appearing at New England Patriot Matt Light's annual "Celebrity Shoot-Out," golfing alongside Micky Ward at the legendary boxer's charity golf tournament and competing in the Boston Bruins Alumni charity games.
After winning the first annual Boston Comedy Festival, "Best New Comic Award" Russo caught the attention of Mr. Las Vegas, Wayne Newton, who hand selected the young comic out of 5,000 hopefuls to appear on The E! TV show "The Entertainer," earning him a headlining contract in Las Vegas. A regular in the Boston comedy scene, he has performed in some of the best comedy clubs in Las Vegas, New York and L.A.
