Today we’d like to introduce you to Gaspare Randazzo.
Hi Gaspare, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I am a teacher from New York City but I always dreamed about doing stand-up comedy. One time, I was an extra on the set of a movie and I started hanging out with everyone and someone asked me if I ever considered comedy. I had always dreamed about doing a Stand up but never actually did it. He offered me a spot on his open mic, and I never looked back. I have been doing comedy for about five years and headline and shows throughout the country. A large bulk of my material is teaching stories but they aren’t just for teachers! They are for anyone who has ever entered a school because it’s just crazy stories that have happened throughout my life as a teacher.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The main challenge that I have faced is working a full-time job during the week as a teacher and then traveling to do shows on the weekends. I have two small children so it’s always hard to leave them.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a standup comedian who is known for telling jokes about being a teacher and about the school system in general. I am most proud of selling out three shows in a row in the New York City area.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
My favorite childhood memory was going to hockey games with my father. We had season tickets to the New York Rangers and went for roughly 10 Straight years. My father passed away last year due to 9/11 related cancer, and I miss and cherish those moments so much.
