Bored and disgusted with his degree in advertising, New Jersey native Mario DiGiorgio moved to Austin, Texas and began writing comedy in between a dozen restaurant jobs. After watching three months worth of open-mics, he took a swing and later secured the title of the nationally recognized comedy contest, The Funniest Person in Austin less than a year after stepping on stage. He followed up by becoming a finalist in the HBO/Aspen Open Call for Stand-Up; was a finalist in the Comedy Central Laugh Riots competition and was featured on Comedy Central's Premium Blend in 2006. Mario also performed at the 2005 Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal.
What else? He recently sold a short screenplay to Scott Rudin Productions; self-published the dark yet laugh-out-loud Cynic's Guide to a Rich and Full Life; founded his own sardonic and iconic t-shirt company, bignoselittledog.com; and most recently wrote a self-indulgent bio in the third person.
Today, Mario resides in Austin, Texas and tours the country with an ever-swelling catalogue of smart, inventive material that spills over with left turns, right hooks and sucker-punches. Sarcastic yet somehow sweet, cerebral without condescension, Mario DiGiorgio is fast carving his niche in comedy's well-worn headboard.
