“D’Angelo has put on an amazing show every time he has seen him perform,” Rocco said. “The only difference between Paul D’Angelo and well-known talented comedians who fill 3,000-seat theaters like Louis CK, Bill Maher and Bill Burr is that they have received much more television and/or movie exposure,” Rocco said. “Paul is as funny, and arguably funnier, than just about all of the most famous standup comedians in the country.”
