Pete Correale, known for his observational humor and relatable storytelling, hails from Long Island, New York, where he was raised as the son of an architect. He fondly credits his father as "pretty much the funniest guy I ever met," suggesting that humor was an inherent part of life in the Correale household. Before comedy became his calling, Pete's first love was basketball, which he passionately played throughout high school and at SUNY Fredonia, where he attended college. After graduating in 1992, Pete took a bold step towards his dream by moving to New York City. With an unwavering commitment to comedy, he spent a year and a half working at the New York Comedy Club, cooking hamburgers and mopping floors in exchange for late-night stage time to develop his act. To make ends meet, he also held a job as a hotel desk clerk while steadily building his reputation in the comedy circuit. Pete's break came in 2000 when he was featured in the "New Faces" showcase at Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival, a significant stepping stone for rising stand-up talent. Strong performances there led to his television debut on NBC's stand-up showcase "Late Friday" and appearances on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," marking his entrance into a wider audience. Correale then ventured into radio, co-hosting the Sirius Satellite Radio Show "Breuer Unleashed" alongside fellow comedian Jim Breuer for four years. This experience further honed his comedic style and expanded his fanbase. In May 2009, he recorded his first one-hour special for Comedy Central, titled "The Things We Do For Love," showcasing his comedic reflections on everyday life. A seasoned performer, Pete has graced the stages of numerous renowned television shows including "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Show with David Letterman," and "Last Call with Carson Daly." His comedic talents have also been showcased at comedy festivals both nationally and internationally, with appearances at Ireland's Kilkenny Cat Laughs and Lebanon's inaugural Beirut Stand-Up Comedy Festival. When not on the road, Correale calls New York home, where he lives with his wife and dog. He remains a stalwart of the New York stand-up scene, frequently performing at iconic venues like the Comedy Cellar, continually connecting with audiences through his humor and the shared experiences of everyday life.
