Growing up with all brothers will give a Sicilian girl from Cleveland two things: a great sense of security and an even greater sense of humor. Indeed, comedienne Tammy Pescatelli got her fair share of both, but her sense of humor is what has made her one of America's funniest--and hardest working--women of comedy. Since beating out thousands for the enviable spot as part of the Final Five on NBC's "Last Comic Standing 2," Tammy's current schedule is jam-packed with headlining appearances at top comedy clubs and venues across the country, as well as adding her comedic observations to specials on VH1, E!, G4, Country Music Television and TV Land. She is also features weekly as part of the "Fashion Police" panel for US Weekly. And giving pros a run for their money in the poker department, Tammy recently participated in the GSN poker series "Poker Royale: Comedians vs. Pros," making it all the way to the finals. Tammy also recently appeared in her own half-hour special for Comedy Central, "Comedy Central Presents: Tammy Pescatelli." Tammy will also co-star in the upcoming independent romantic comedy
Everybody Wants to Be Italian.
