Mario Cantone

As Charlotte's wedding planner with attitude, New York stage actor and standup comedian Mario Cantone went syndicated when Sex and the City was launched on TBS! And as always you can catch him on his stints “The View.”
Television fans get just a taste of Cantone's irreverence as a stand-up comedian who has performed a wide range of venue from warming up jazz great Shirley Bassey at Carnegie Hall to performances at Atlantic City "Resorts" and "Caroline's" on Broadway. Peter Marks of The New York Times wrote, "In the realm of outrageously, joyful stand-up, there is the shrieking, wind-up toy sensibility of Mario Cantone, a comedian of extravagant tantrums and extravagant gifts...he is a proponent of the comedy of outrage."
An accomplished stage actor, on Broadway, Cantone played the role of Buzz in Terrence McNally's award winning dramatic comedy, "Love! Valor! Compassion!" For the Public Theater on Broadway, Cantone played Stephano in Shakespeare's "The Tempest". Off Broadway he was the original Terry, in "The Crumple Zone," Benny in "June Moon," and Grumio, in "Taming of the Shrew," (Shakespeare in the park). Most recently, Mario starred in his own one man show on Broadway at the Cort Theatre and then in the SHOWTIME Network Special, Mario Cantone’s ”Laugh Whore” (2005 Tony Nominee). On Comedy Central, Cantone’s performances are featured on The USO Comedy Tour, Chappelle Show, Premium Blend, as well as his own special Comedy Central Presents Mario Cantone. Over the years his routines have included musical parodies of Judy Garland, Jim Morrison, Peggy Lee, Bruce Springsteen, and Liza Minnelli. His other television credits include appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman", ”Martha” "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," and NBC's "Ed." He was also featured in the films "Quiz Show" and "Mousetrap." Mario’s other film credits include Crooked Lines, Last Request, and this year’s “The Aristocrats”. Next year look for his performance in Sony Animated Pictures, “Surf’s Up!”
