Tammy Pescatelli Music Without Borders

Tammy Pescatelli brings brassy sexiness with a bold female voice of witty sarcasm to her audiences, holding her own on the topics of sports, television, dating and family life using tongue-in-cheek humor. She is relatable to every audience member, male or female. After seeing her perform, nearly everyone wishes she was their best friend or sister!

Recently signed to Git R’ Done Records, the label of Larry the Cable Guy, Tammy looks back in time with her newest album, #tbt Throwback Tammy which debuted at #2 Comedy Album on the iTunes charts. “Have you ever put something away for safe keeping and then forgot where you put it? I did that with this entire album! It’s a true #LaughFromThePast!” said Pescatelli.

Pescatelli’s Way After School Special was filmed in early 2018 and is a highly anticipated follow up to her award-winning one-hour Netflix (now Amazon Prime) special, Finding the Funny.

Some of Pescatelli’s recent appearances include The View, Guy’s Grocery Games: Comics Compete and The Howard Stern Show. She was also recently selected by Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg to be a part of their Dirty, Sexy, Funny franchise that included a hilarious all-female slate of standup comedians in a comedy special on EPIX/ Hulu, a touring live show and a pilot for A&E.

With a slew of other accolades under her belt, including co- creating, executive producing, writing and starring in her own reality show, A Stand-Up Mother on the WeTV Network, Pescatelli has appeared on television shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, A&E’s Donnie Loves Jenny, Bravo’s Rocco’s Dinner Party, CBS’s The Talk, NBC’s Last Comic Standing: The Best of the Best, her own Comedy Central Present Special that won that year’s Comedy Central’s Standup Showdown and many, many more.

Pescatelli’s career jump-started after appearing, and being one of the Final 5, on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Her season played out to more than 17 million viewers, garnering her a mass of loyal new fans that found themselves alongside the others she had created by years of touring the comedy clubs. It solidified her as one of the sharpest women in the comedy world.

Pescatelli appeared a few times on the syndicated Comics Unleashed show and was chosen for their “Best of the Best” that was a world-wide top selling DVD. Internationally, she was featured on the Best of the Just For Laughs, in Montreal, Quebec Canada and The World Stands Up & The Laugh Factory in Europe and Australia.

Pescatelli’s material is a currently a fixture on the comedy channels of Sirius XM Radio and she is a regular guest of: The Howard Stern Wrap Up Show, Jenny McCarthy’s Dirty, Sexy, Funny (where she often co-hosts), TapOut, Opie and Anthony and Bennington. She has made frequent appearances on the syndicated The Bob & Tom Show.

The comedienne recently starred as the flawed, yet lovable lead in in That’s Amore, an independent “grown up rom-com” that will be released at the end of 2019. Other film credits include: Made in Brooklyn, I Am Battle Comic, Single: A Documentary Film and Everybody Wants to Be Italian.

As a regular on USO Comedy tours, Tammy is honored and humbled to have been privileged to have entertained our troops all over the world.
