A natural-born comic, Al remembers parading around in his family's living room at two years old performing imitations of Bugs Bunny. An inborn sense of quick wit emerged early, and by the time Al was in kindergarten, he became the unofficial class clown. "I have always been quick-witted; I inherited this from my father." Al says. "Comedy and performing, making others laugh has always been a natural part of my life."
While working as a floor person in craps and blackjack at the Tropicana in Atlantic City, Al decided to give it a go in the casino's employee talent show. Knowing that comedy is the most effective when it relates directly to the audience, Al debuted his comedy act focusing on jokes about the casino business - and won the contest!
But, the talented and innovative performer also wanted to expand his horizons beyond appearing on stage, and began freelance writing for such well-watched and iconic television shows such as "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, "The Late Show" with Craig Kilborn, "Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update" with Colin Quinn, and Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect." He has lent his incisive wit to other comics, notably Yakov Smirnoff, Jimmie Walker, and Al's own favorite, Richard Jeni.
Since 2000, Al produces the Friars Club "A New Faces Of Comedy Showcase." Al is also generous with his comedic talent, and will entertain small parties and at local hot spots, in between major appearances.
