Comedian Candice Guardino has inked a deal for Comedy Dynamics to release her debut special, Italian Bred, on January 27, 2026. Inspired by true events, the show follows Candice as she slips into multiple characters, including her brassy grandmother, taking audiences on a journey through her childhood as part of a loud and loving Italian family on Staten Island.
The special, from director Samuel Brownfield, was shot at the Two River Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey. Guardino wrote and performed it, with Chris DiPetta (Billy Gardell: Halftime, Showtime’s Road Dogs) producing.
