Audiences across the globe hail Favorito for his ability to verbally exploit audience members, integrating each person he talks to with the next person. He’s loud, crass and inappropriate—and audiences love every minute of it. Famed comedian George Carlin told Vinnie he’s a fan because, “he is not afraid to walk the line, but he doesn’t cross it,” and has been referred to as “Don Rickles with venom” by Milton Berle. 
Favorito became a household name while living in Boston. In a town that has pumped out top comedians including Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno, Denis Leary and Dane Cook, Favorito has made a name for himself. Favorito served as a guest correspondent covering all aspects of city living on “Boston Chronicle,” a magazine-television show in addition to a regular gig on EAGLE 93.7 FM during the morning drive time. Favorito became so renowned in his hometown that in 1993, the Boston Herald voted him one of Boston’s Top Ten Comedians. Having had so many great experiences on the Boston comedy scene, Favorito felt that he had to give something back and began conducting his own workshop for the up-and-coming comedic talent of Boston. Every week, before his Monday night show at Playoffs in Weymouth, Mass., Favorito would take students in for a little “polishing.” Making it official, students had a graduation ceremony at the end of the ten-week course where Favorito would fill the house with managers, agents and club owners directing students onto the road of success. A “jack of all trades,” Favorito continues his comedic education, conducting classes teaching business professionals how to gain more confidence when speaking in front of a crowd. 
Competition. He is among other top comedians who have won the San Francisco International Comedy Competition including Dana Carvey, Dane Cook, Ellen DeGeneres, Robin Williams and Sinbad. In addition to winning top honors at the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, Favorito also launched his own show on the FOX Family network in 2001, Favor & Family.
