Paul D'Angelo - VOTED BOSTON'S BEST Comic June 18, 2011

PAUL D'ANGELO- Who is the comedian/writer/actor that The Los Angeles Times calls "…quite
likely the funniest entertainer you’ve never heard of… yet"?
Paul Murphy spent ten and a half years as an Assistant District Attorney,
supervising several of Massachusetts’s busiest courthouses, before building a
reputation as a noted criminal-defense trial attorney. The unexpected twist to
this story is that, for nine of those years, under the pseudonym of Paul D’
Angelo, Paul was simultaneously becoming one of the nation’s top standup
comedians.

Paul was named "Boston’s Best Comedian" in 1994 and 1995 by Boston Magazine.
In 1989 Paul had the honor of being chosen as a national finalist
representing Boston in the Johnny Walker Comedy Search and, in 1997, Paul was honored
to be invited as a feature performer at the Montreal ‘Just for Laughs’
International Comedy Festival. Paul was chosen as a national finalist in the 1999
San Francisco International Comedy Competition; a national finalist
representing Boston in the 2003 'Laughs Across America' comedy search sponsored by the
Las Vegas Comedy Festival; and a national finalist in the 2005 Sierra Mist /
Improvisation ‘Next Great Comic’ search. Paul is also the writer / director
/ co-star of the sitcom pilot ‘A Fine Mess’ which was featured at the
prestigious New York International Independent Film Festival in 2002. Currently,
Paul is currently co-starring in the soon to be released ‘Godfathers of Comedy
’ stand-up comedy motion picture directed by Rocco Urbisci.

Paul has entertained many prominent corporate clients throughout the nation
including Ford Motor Co., MITA Corp., Sony Music Corp., Hasbro /
Milton-Bradley Corp., Hewlett-Packard Corp., Fidelity Investments, Bike Athletic Corp.,
American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Nike-Bauer International and the Burger
King Corporation. In addition, Paul has performed at casinos in Las Vegas and
Atlantic City, on Norwegian Cruise Lines, and at many colleges including
Harvard University, Lehigh University, UNH, Boston University and U.
Massachusetts.

As evidence of his adaptability, Paul has been selected to open up for over
forty nationally known recording artists as diversified as rhythm and blues
greats Ray Charles, the Four Tops, the Temptations and Patti LaBelle; rock and
roll legends Huey Lewis and the News, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Beach Boys,
Chicago, the Righteous Bros., Aretha Franklin and Hall & Oates; country-western
stars Lyle Lovett, Tanya Tucker and the Oakridge Boys; comedians George Carlin,
Joan Rivers and Dennis Miller; and mature artists such as Tony Bennett,
Englebert Humperdinck and Bobby Vinton, in various theater venues accommodating
audiences of up to 5000+ people.

Combining an energetic, charismatic stage presence and spontaneous
improvisational talent with an endless array of intelligent humor delivered in an
animated style that grabs and holds the attention of crowds everywhere he
performs, Paul’s constantly evolving and diverse selection of original material
"takes normal everyday experiences and makes them sound absolutely hilarious."
Critics further write that "(Paul D’Angelo) is an energetic performer who gives
a peak performance at every show." "His quick comedic mind," "unique
observations" and "down to earth, stop-and-think humor" "keeps the crowd in
hysterics."
